I have been doing fitness kickboxing for about 7 months now and it has completely changed my life.
Almost 2 years ago my son started the Lil Tigers class at the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy. Around a year later, when she was old enough my daughter joined too.The kids love it. They are getting fit, strong, learning self-control, how to protect themselves and making friends.
For over a year I sat watching my children do their classthen seeing the adults arrive for the fitness kickboxing afterwards. I desperately wanted to participate but was so overweight and hadn’t done really any exercise for about two years!
One afternoon at a club functionI spoke to SiFu Henry about my interest and concerns and he told me that everyone has to start somewhere and to just come along. Even though I was terrified I joined in the next class. It was the best thing I have ever done and there has been no looking back. It has changed my life. I am losing weight, getting fitter, stronger, learning to defend myself and for the first time in avery very long timeI feel in control of my body and see a positive long term future. I have to say that I am addicted now and never want to give it up. I feel completely empowered.
Everyone at the academy in every class is great. I have made friendships that I’m sure will last forever. SiFu Henry is always available for advice on training, nutrition, technique and to have a laugh. You will never feel on your own. We are lucky to have soemone with his experience and international standing training us here in Hallam!
My husband now does the Adult Wing Chun class too, so it’s a family affair and we couldn’t be happier.
For anyone who is looking for an amazing, exciting, empowering exercise program please come alon. Yes, even if you are very overweight and have not properly moved in years. You will not regret it and you will be surprised what your body can actually do!Good Luck
