What does ISDA Do ?  
With those who draw along side of ISDA and Therefore Graham Healy if your purpose is to build a life long enduring relationship for mutual benefit the the first door will open , if you have a 'hidden agenda' then the 'revolving door will open in reverse' simple as that.

Future with ISDA?  
Basically , ISDA is there to facilitate the training and association of Leaders with a 'good positive attitude' in other words a 'Train the Trainer' basis , however, in saying that there is a 'shared knowledge philosophy' and a 'no rank philosophy' (we are all treat each other on one level.)

Politics ? NONE Forget It Now
.

How can ISDA EMPOWER ME ? 
After over 40 years in the Health and Fitness Industry and as a martial artist , boxer and self-defense enthusiast Graham Healy has agreements in place to facilitate Certificate 3 & 4 Sports Coaching and Fitness with our good friends in ACSD as well as Graham can share with you through 'seminars and workshops' his 40+ years of experience to empower YOU to empower others .

What do Associates of ISDA DO ?
Basically we follow the Bruce Lee adage of "absorb what is useful and disregard the rest"  so our focus is on universal 'skills and drills' rather then 'patterns' etc , it is the brotherhood, and the 'skills and drills' of martial arts that is the 'common ground' not the styles, politics etc.
the bottom line is can that technique be used in real self-defense not the rule bound bureaucracy of Sport
