12 Jan 2017 Hands up or hand out
Is your guard up or your hand out? Over the years, I’ve demonstrated to different groups how your attitude can affect others. It is very easy to do. Here is how it works. I call a person up to the front of the room and ask to give me their first reaction to my action. After they agree, I step toward them and put my guard up in an aggressive fashion. Inevitably, they respond by putting their guard up, too. Next, I extend my hand out in friendship. They always respond in turn. Finally, I ask them to put their guard up. When it is up, I extend out my hand in friendship. They always give me a blank stare, followed by a handshake. The point of this drill is to make everyone aware ....

15 Nov 2016 Train till you puke
Does Puking During A Workout Mean You Are Awesome? “Oh man, I worked out so hard I puked!” This statement makes its way around the exercise community. It is typically stated by an individual who is proud of their effort given during a great workout. But is vomiting a good thing? No! Vomiting before, during, or after exercise is NOT a good thing. If you throw up during a workout then there are two things happening: one is that you are pushing yourself too hard, and second, you are not in good enough shape to handle the workout you are doing. Throwing up is sometimes worn as a badge of honor; you work hard, then harder, then you push yourself harder because you are awesome, ....

21 Mar 2016 The end picture
Look long term for you and your children. Most know I have been teaching martial arts at Mandurah high schools for over 20 years now. I have had the chance to see the sort of students a lot of schools have. Based on this first hand knowledge of the high schools I picked one for my children before I even had children. The reason is that I want my children to have the values that these high school kids have. BUT as Odin enters this school at Kindy and now pre primary I have som ... e issues with small things and I start to doubt my own choice. Well last week I taught some high school kids at a school camp from this school and again I am impressed with how these kids act and the values ....

11 Mar 2016 Eating before training
Eating before Training Significance: When you work out, your body taps into its existing stores of glycogen and fat to provide energy, says Mark Strasser, MS, CSCS. When you eat the right type and proportions of food before your weight-training workout, you provide your body with all the glycogen and fuel it needs for an intense training session. If you run out of energy during a workout, your results will be sub-par, and you run the risk of injuring yourself. Foods: You want to include protein in every meal when lifting weights, but to fuel your training, the majority of your pre-workout meal should come from carbohydrates. According to the Gatorade Sports Science ....

28 Feb 2016 The Heavy Bag
The heavy bag is one of the most underutilized areas of training in Muay Thai. Even when it is used in training, most people don’t use it very effectively. You will often see people at the gym casually punching the heavy bag as theyare chatting up the person beside them. If you train at a typical Muaythai gymthere is a good chance that you probably don’t use the heavy bag effectively in your training.This is especially true if you are atbig commercial gym that ismore focused on a cardio workout, than building technique. Hitting on the heavy bag will improve all aspects of your game.While youmight not see improvementsright away, over time you willbecome more fluid, ....

16 Jul 2015 Winter and water
Frost glitters on the ground, brown leaves rattle in the trees and the air is dry, dry, dry! Winter, with its abundance of colds and flu, is coming on fast. Did you know dehydration happens just as easily in winter as in the heat of summer? As you move about in the cold, you may not be sweating, but water vapor is still being lost through your breath (that’s the steam you see streaming from your mouth in frigid temperatures.) Winter can also accelerate dehydration because mammals have a survival mechanism that constricts blood vessels in cold weather, to conserve heat and maintain body temperature. Blood vessels shrinking increases blood pressure. To lower the pressure, your kidneys make ....

12 Feb 2015 What we are planning
For those who don't know I have just returned from a martial arts business seminar in Melbourne. I received an award you will see on my desk but the highlight was running a seminar for other peers. The seminar I ran was on anxiety and depression and my own experiences. Anyway i have returned with a few idea's. The first was really simple and that is deodorant in the toilet for students to use and even a couple of disposable toothbrushes for those who get caught out rushing to training. (it happens) I have joined a martial arts business organisation to learn how to run this school even better. We are introducing a sports package membership for kids who are doing seasonal sports like ....

15 Jan 2015 We work with our community
I have certain things that get me upset, kids been bullied and bashed or who are going through issues that children should not have to deal with. It is for this reason our gym has let many children train for free, these kids are usually recommended on by a not for profit group or parents of kids who train with us who are working in the field. This is the first time I have mentioned this because i don't want the public to think our gym is full of troubled kids. It is not, it is full of great kids and parents who are something these kids need to be around to see the world is not that bad. Eric Jensen ....
