"Martial Arts Planet owner Mike Sweeney's pursuit for excellence is evident not only in his training but also his teaching. His extreme dedication to martial arts can be seen through his continual desire to refine both his personal training and his training methods. While Mike's positive leadership has encouraged me to achieve new levels on the mat, it has also influenced me to attain new levels as a person." Adam Zugec - North American and Canadian Submission Champion "Mike Sweeney is one of those rare Coaches who possesses the unique combination of personal skill, and teaching ability. Mike has a very high level of performance skill in all areas of fighting: stand up kickboxing, clinch, ground, and weapons. In addition, Mike has a great way of communicating, coaching, and helping others reach their own personal best within the field of functional Martial Arts. I would highly recommend his classes for anyone, of any skill level." Matt Thornton - SBG Founder and President

PROMOTIONS 2003On December 5, 2003, at the Karma Martial Arts Christmas party, Michael Sweeney was promoted to the rank of Purple Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu by Nova Uniao Black Belt Wagnney Fabiano. Several other Nova Uniao students received big promotions on that evening and although we don't have all of their names, we would like to offer our sincere congratulations to them.
Congratulations Andrew Giles and Fred Benford for passing your Level 1 Thai Test on Wednesday Nov. 26. You both demonstrated excellent skill, spirit and conditioning during the exam.
The promotion is now official! On Saturday October 4, 2003, Kingston resident Donna Morrin earned the coveted rank of Black Belt. Along with her, Rebecca Sweeney moved even one step higher on the ladder of martial arts success with her promotion to the rank of Nidan, second degree Black Belt. I am confident that both of these students will continue to be examples of excellence for our junior and senior students alike.
We had another Level 1 Thai Test last night (Thursday, June 26, 2003) only this time it was a surprise to the participant. Fernando Garcia, who will be moving away after this week, was put through the paces. As expected, he passed with flying colours. Great job Fernando. Make us proud by keeping up your training.
Congratulations goes out to Steve Popazzi who passed his Level 1 Thai Test on Wednesday May 29. You can now wear your Thai Shorts with pride.
Congratulations to CBK student Shawn Hartwig who received his BJJ Blue Belt from Professor Soares during the April 2003 Jiu-Jitsu seminar in Kingston. Good work Shawn. You deserve it!
Following the seminar with Sensei Erik Paulson on April 4, 2003, our own Rebecca Harvey tested for and received her Level 1 Coach certification. Also, Sensei Mike Sweeney was promoted to Associate Instructor in Sensei Paulson's CSW organization.
