Back Training Inside

Last night saw Warwick & Leamington TKD club back inside Everyones Active Warwick site, St Nicholas Park Leisure Centre.

After 2 months of conducting training sessions out in the park twice a week we returned to the leisure centres main sports hall delivering 2 classes. This is ideal timing as the club has a promotion grading test scheduled for the beginning of June so will allow a quality practice environment for the students.

Thursday nights are still being conducted out in the park however this gives the students a fantastic opportunity to practice their skills in a realistic environment wearing clothes and trainers on as they would be if they had to deal with a physical situation for real.

3 Ways Top Performers Get Back In Shape After Setbacks!

So when I get a text, email, phone call saying work is manic, issues at home etc, my response is always that that is more important, go get it sorted as we are always here, let me know if I can help, lets face it training is basically just training; family, work they are a higher priority.  

Conversely when people have life issue that are bogging them down I also look to utilise our classes as a cathartic experience and attempt to entice them to class to utilise it as an escapism, a constant that they can rely on, a support structure with peer group support from the other students and instructors; I look to encourage them back to training; physical activity is one of the best solutions to stress and challenge!!!
