25.01.2022 May 3rd Kata - slow - Fast - Under tension

24.01.2022 Hi Everyone, For something different try the beep test instead of your walk or run. Attached is the May Challenge progress document for everyone to fill print ...out and fill out. Beep Test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0U_yQITBks Test Rules The Standard test has 21 levels, and each level consists of a different number of shuttles. The test is performed by running between two markers placed 20 meters (65.6 feet) apart, at an increasing pace as indicated by the beeps. The test ends when you can no longer keep pace, or level 21 is completed. The test can be performed by an individual without assistance, or used by a coach to test an entire team. Equipment Beep Fitness Test for iOS. Two or more markers, e.g. traffic cones. A flat surface, suitable for running, which is at least 20m long with adequate space at each end for coming to a stop. Procedure Place markers 20 meters apart. Position yourself, or athletes, at one of the markers. Press the start button of the Beep Fitness Test app. Run 20 meters to the opposite marker, getting there before the next beep sounds. Wait there until the beep sounds before running back to the other marker. Repeat this process for each shuttle until you are unable to keep up with the beeps. Remember, you must wait for the beep before starting the next shuttle. When you miss a beep you must continue to run to the marker in front of you, turn at the end, and try to catch up with the pace within 2 more beeps. The test ends when you fail to reach the opposite marker for two consecutive beeps. Your final score is the last level and shuttle you completed before missing a beep. The speed at the start of the test is quite slow, however it will increase with each level. A level lasts approximately 1 minute and the entire test requires an increase in speed from 8 km/h to 18.6 km/h.

21.01.2022 May 14 Kick Boxing work out focusing on Cross There will be four different exercises to help with your jab. See below. Make sure to use both arms. Repeat each ...exercise 10 times both arms. Repeat exercise 1, 2 & 3 before starting exercise 4 ( so your arms are nice and warm to avoid injuries. ) First exercise is a single Cross.Second we add a step with the front foot as you cross.Third we step all the way through with the back leg. For the next exercise we will be doing a two speed Cross ( two crosses one after the other.) First two speed cross with pout moving your feet Second you will move only your front foot Third you will move both feet ( shown in the video ) Next we move onto the three speed cross Three crosses at any timing that suits you. First with no step Second step with the front foot only Third step with both feet. For the last exercise we will be putting all the combos together for some shadow boxing. You will complete 5, 30 second rounds. With a 10 second in between each round. Dont forget to use your jab from last week!

20.01.2022 Warm up recommendations for training. Begin with some low-moderate intensity cardio activity (running/skipping) - aim is to raise the body temperature to prepare for explosive activities. A good indication you have achieved this is a little sweat on the brow. Static stretching is not advised in the warm up and has been shown to hinder power production. Instead add some dynamic stretches like in the video to your routine, particularly those that open up the hips. #science @hma_karate @gkr_karate @gkr_karatevideos

20.01.2022 May 19th 25 minute walk / Jog + Stretching exercises. Nice little stretch post a hard session. Open up the hips and let the neural system calm down. Wed recommend alternating through these positions for up to 5 mins

18.01.2022 Nick Muscles Brink taking you through todays combo. Kick Boxing work out focusing on Jab There will be four different exercises to help with your jab. See below. Make sure to use both arms. Repeat each exercise 10 times both arms. Repeat exercise 1, 2 & 3 before starting exercise 4 ( so your arms are nice and warm to avoid injuries. )... First exercise is a single jab. ( remember to twist the front foot ) Second we add a step with the front foot as you jab. Third we step with both legs as we jab. For the next exercise we will be doing a two speed jab ( two jabs one after the other.) Using the same template as the first exercise, when you feel you are confident with just twisting the foot. Start to move it each time you jab. Then add the step with both legs. For the third exercise we will do a three speed jab. For this one you can pick any speed to do your jabs. We have chosen. 1,2, pause, 3 (shown in the video) Make sure to start with the front foot twist. Then add the single leg step. Then the double leg step. For the last exercise we will be putting all the combos together for some shadow boxing. You will complete 5, 30 second rounds. With a 10 second in between each round.

07.01.2022 Tomorrows stretching. Don't forget you can use a towel or tennis ball instead of the foam roller.

06.01.2022 Loving everything Im seeing on socials of people training at home, take this opportunity to set yourself some crazy goals and come out of quarantine stronger, fitter and faster than ever. Todays challenge is kumite specific. How long can you do calf raises in a low fighting stance? DM your attempts and a Karate Therapist T-shirt to whoever can name the muscle Im targeting @hmakaratehq @gkr_karate

02.01.2022 Do monster creep. Make feet strong. Simple.

02.01.2022 May 9th Today is a body weight work out! repeat the circuit as many times as you can to get the most out of your workout. - 20 pushups... - 20 sit-ups - 1 minute star jumps - 20 lunges each leg - 30 second plank x 2 - For extra fun try one leg squat challenge ( standing on one leg. Other leg straight out In front squat down and up without falling or using other leg, stand up. ) See more

01.01.2022 Stretching does not change muscle length and wont make you kick higher!! But if you like it and it can make you feel good post training through allowing the neural system to calm post intense sessions. So heres a few ideas for a full body relax session. Hold each for 15-60s. The evidence suggests that if you stretch consistently for 4-6 weeks you will improve your range of motion statically (so youll be able to stretch better but not kick higher - youll have to resort to doing more kicks to do that) This most likely due to an increased tolerance to stretching rather than changing the stiffness/extensibility or length of muscles.

01.01.2022 WERE BACK! Competition classes start this Saturday to get you back to your peak performance level, 8am - 10am a Great mix of Kata, Kumite and Fitness. This week's coaches will be Alex and Sam. Any students looking to compete in 2020/21 are welcome.
