Inspirational Quote:

"One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular."
 - Tony Robbins

Training Tip

Tuck Jumps – Stand with feet a little bit apart and knees only slightly bent. Squat down and then explode up and jump as high as you can while at the same time tucking your knees up into you chest, hugging them with your arms if possible. Try and land gently on the balls of your feet. Limit the amount of time your feet are on the ground before jumping again.

This is a high impact style exercise, so if you feel any discomfort in you legs or knees please stop. Start with 3 sets of 5 jumps each, 30 second rest between sets. As your legs become more adjusted to the work out you can increase up to 15 jumps per set.

Great for building explosive legs strength for a verity of martial arts applications.

Halloween!

Children’s Halloween Party will be this Friday Oct 29, 2010 starting at 5 pm. Cotumes are optional (but it’s much funner that way!), we will be handing out candy and playing Halloween games.

Training Tip

Tabata sprints are a great way to lose weight and increase your body’s ability to process oxygen (Vo2 Max).

Basic set:
1. 20 sec sprint as hard as you can.
2. 10 sec rest

Do this pattern for 8 sets equaling 4min. Remember that your running should be at maximum intensity (speed) and once your 10 sec rest is over you need to immediately resume that intensity, cheating won’t help! At the end of this 4 min you should be completely exhausted, if it was easy you didn’t do it right!

Testing results are posted in the school.  Congratulations to everyone on your hard work.
