Information
Shihan Moti Ram began his martial arts journey with Kyushin Ryu Jujitsu in 2002 under the guidance of Shihan Jim Stackpoole and Shihan Meladee Stackpoole. While he has trained in other styles such as Muay Thai and Boxing, Japanese Jujitsu became his primary focus due to its vast range of techniques, practical self-defence applications, and deep traditional lineage tracing back to Japanese roots.
Over more than two decades, Shihan Moti has advanced through dedicated training, competition, and coaching. His rank progression includes:
- Shodan (1st Degree) – 2008
- Nidan (2nd Degree) – 2010
- Sandan (3rd Degree) – 2016
- Yondan (4th Degree) – 2020
- Godan (5th Degree) – 2026
He has competed internationally, earning Bronze medals at major events including Las Vegas (2010) and the Gold Coast (2017), where he also served as Australian Co-Captain. Beyond the mat, he is also the Treasurer for the club and is an active member of the management team.
When not training or teaching, Shihan Moti is passionate about continuous personal growth, fitness through CrossFit and weight lifting, and outdoor pursuits such as fishing. He brings energy, discipline, and a supportive approach inspiring students of all ages to build technical skill, mental resilience, and confidence.
