[edit] Cougar Arts

The Cougar Arts. What are they? They're this: a set of powerful Man-Skills designed to help you survive in any situation, from tying your shoelaces to fighting off a pack of giant wild tigers.

Founded by Brian "The Guru" Watson in 1968, The Cougar Arts Federation became known for its unique philosophy - "Don't try to get away with anything too big at first, and then try a bit harder and gradually you'll probably get somewhere."

Barry "The Cougar" Dawson is now Head Instructor at the school. He is a Black Belt Master and an exponent of "Man-Skills" - a set of powerful techniques including "Mind Control" "Speediness" and "Invisible-ness".

Barry says, "A lot of kids come into our school because they're wanting to kick someone's arse. I don't teach that. I usually instruct that you should kick the knee or groin. Then, when they're on the ground, rolling around, you can consider the arse."

"There is a temptation to miss-use the powers of the Cougar Arts," says Barry Dawson. "But a true student of the Cougar Arts knows when he's in a tight situation to just cool down and maybe watch a bit of TV."

In 2003, the school changed its name to The Australian Cougar Arts Federation. The club now boasts many members and sometimes holds barbeques.
