09.01.2022 The Advantages of Stretching Decreases muscle stiffness and increases range of motion. Injury preventing. Improves posture.... Helps reduce/manage stress. Reduces muscular tension and enhances muscular relaxation. Promotes circulation. Improves flexibility. Increases energy. The two most common forms of stretching are: Dynamic stretches - these are functional active movements using a full range of motion, which mimic the movements of the exercise you are about to perform. This allows you to perform your workouts safely to prevent injury. Static stretches - are stretches that are held in place for a period of time, without movement. This increases flexibility and range of motion and is recommended to be done at the end of your workout.

07.01.2022 Kansai Karate wins the overall Club Champions at the Queensland State Karate Titles. Just received congratulations by Queensland Karate Association President Alan Key. Congratulations to everyone in Team Kansai, athletes, coaches, officials and parents, a true team effort.

05.01.2022 What is MetaFit? Regular Metafit workouts will make you fitter, stronger and leaner and will also take your energy levels through the roof . But if all that...s not enough to encourage you to give it a go, here are a few more reasons.... 1. It Only Takes 25 Minutes Who has time to go to the gym for two hours these days? One of the biggest excuses I hear for not exercising is time . But Metafit is perfect for people with a busy schedule and if you can find 25 minutes in your day, youll be burning fat for fun in no time. Metafit involves short bursts of intense exercise , followed by recovery periods of low intensity activity or rest. Do Metafit 2-3 times a week and see ya later, body fat! 2. Youll Be Burning Fat for Hours After Youve Finished Training Unlike low intensity cardio such as jogging, Metafit will have you burning calories for hours and hours after you have finished your workout. We call this the after-burn effect. During this time your metabolic rate is boosted , so your body continues to burn more calories and more fat. The more intense the workout, the greater the effects will be, so you should always aim to push yourself as hard as you can. 3. Metafit Can Be Tailored to Your Fitness Levels Metafit workouts can be tailored to your fitness levels, so whether youre 20 years old or 60, a solid Metafit session is all relative to your personal level of fitness. Our qualified coaches can adapt the exercises to suit you. The aim is to get your heart rate up to near maximal levels during the intense sets, before recovering during the rest periods. 4. Youll Feel Like An Absolute Winner Afterwards Every Metafit session should be tough, but its all over in around 25-30 minutes and you will feel like an absolute winner after each session. And when your body fat starts to melt away and you become fitter, stronger and leaner, it will all be worth it. See you for a 11am start, Saturday!

05.01.2022 Ready for a big day of gradings with our smallest little Karate Heros . Kansai Cubs and Little Lions gradings today and Junior Beginner Novice grading. Looking forward to it.

04.01.2022 Fantastic Kansai Karate Black Belt and Senior Gradings last night. Congratulations to everyone who graded, especially our New Black Belts and Dan Grades. A great accomplishment by all, with the disruptive year we have all had, an awesome way to finish the year.

04.01.2022 Awesome fitness class today, well done everyone!

02.01.2022 Face Mask for 13 years and Above, the following is from The State Government - Here’s what you need to know about masks and exercising in Greater Brisbane. You need to wear a mask when you’re exercising indoors, for example at a gym, but you can remove your mask when you’re out of breath or puffing.... You do not have to wear a mask indoors if you are doing strenuous aerobic exercise such as high-intensity interval training, cycling, running or team sport. If you’re exercising outdoors, you must carry a mask with you at all times.
