JANUARY DONE & DUSTED WITH JUNIOR EXPLOSIONThe Banstead TaeKwon-Do class for Juniors has exploded! We’ve had a lot of new people attending the classes and having great fun and learning some great skills.

January 2011 - what a great month for training:

January has been superb, new people have started in all

classes & the juniors on Wednesday has exploded with many

more enjoying what Banstead TaeKwon-Do has to offer. It’s

fantastic to have a great atmosphere in the classes, it certainly

helps everyone train to their full potential.

I want to inspire each student to set some physical fitness and

mobility goals for this year and I will start a Splits Gallery on the

main web site with prizes for the most improved.

Grab the Bull (or kettlebell!) by the Horns, train hard in class,

train to get fitter, to kick higher, to punch harder, to spar better,

to get more flexible, to jump higher and to be a good member

of the community.

TaeKwon-Do, Physical Fitness, Good Habits...

I started TaeKwon-Do when I was almost

21 years old. TKD gave me a real focus, I

found it interesting, technical & inspiring &

that’s probably why I’ve stuck with the

activity for now almost 17 years.

Part of my goal for Banstead TaeKwon-

Do is to help others discover the benefits of

being consistently physically & mentally

active. Classes are meant to inspire people

to have clear physical training goals,

discover how to achieve them, & take steps

to get there. They’re meant to help people

develop healthy exercises habits, right from

the Tiny TKD’ers through to the Senior

TaeKwon-Do.

As well as a TaeKwon-Do Instructor I am

also an qualified fitness professional through

the IKFF (www.ikff.net) and an official 100

Rep Challenge (www.100repchallenge.com)

representative...sooooo....

...calling everyone...

So, I’d like to call on everyone to fit

some physical exercise in to every single

day. It doesn’t take much to fit in a small

amount of exercise, just a few minutes here

and there and it could be any type of exercise.

Obviously for those needing to improve certain aspects of their TKD

then something focussed on that area would be a good idea, but on other

days there’s also nothing like a good lot of press ups to help yourself feel

good.

I’d like to get as many people as possible (that includes parents of Tiny’s

and Juniors) doing a little exercise every single day. Can I have a show of

hands please who’d be interested in attending a short presentation or

workshop to hear more about this?

KETTLEBELL WORKSHOP L1In my role as educator again and IKFF Certified Kettlebell

Teacher I ran a small Kettlebell basics workshop for a group of

TaeKwon-Do instructors, students and MMA enthusiasts on

January 22nd.

The 3 hour workshop was focussed on how to use

kettlebells safely for improving physical fitness and how to stay

relaxed when under pressure.

It was certainly a full on workshop but I am pleased to say

that technique at the end of the session was very high and the

participants safe to use this compact training aid in their own

environment.

TKD training offers so much for physical training and I use

KB’s to help where equipment free training has a few gaps. If

you’re interested in knowing more about using kettlebells and

your own body to improve your training please let me know.
