25.01.2022 Post training awesomeness!!!! @teresacutter_healthychef Apple Tea Cake. I have been making Teresas recipes for years now as I love the simplicity of the ingredients. Also everything she makes is Refined Sugar Free which is important to me as I went off refined sugar about 5 years ago. The recipe is on her website if you want to print it out or check it out below. Take care everyone. . . . 3 organic eggs... 100ml extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil or macadamia oil 100ml pure maple syrup 3 tsp baking powder tsp cinnamon 2 tsp vanilla extract 240 g wholemeal spelt flour 750 g golden delicious or pink lady apples, finely diced with the skin . Preheat oven to 160C (320F) fan-forced. Combine eggs, olive oil, maple syrup, baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Add spelt flour. Fold in the diced apples and mix through so that the apples are coated. Pour into a loaf tin lined with baking paper. Bake for 60 mins until cooked through and then remove to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. . . . #teresacutter #iso #cake #applecake #recipe #selfdefence #comfortfood #refinedsugarfree #earthtotable #appleteacake #instafood #foodporn #workout #training #fitness #healthylifestyle #eatwell #cleaneating #hampton #highett #sandringham #covid19 #isobaking #covidbaking #snack #sweettooth #cakelover #food #healthyeating See more

24.01.2022 TIP #3: Chin down technique. The reason we train like this is to remind us to keep our chin tucked when fighting. If our chin is high its more likely to catch a punch and violently wip the head around causing our brain to slosh against the wall of the skull it can also cause damage to the jaw itself. Keeping our chin down also engages our neck muscles more which helps stabilize the head and help increase the resistance to the force applied. With our hands high and chin down ...we are also a harder target to hit. . . . #spa #punch #tip #technique #boxing #fight #educate #training #selfdefence #selfdefense #learn #exercise #neck #skull #martialarts #fighting #closequartercombatives #hardtarget #highett #gym #mentallytough #muscles #combatives #selfprotection #trainingtips #melbourne #kravmaga #sparring #kickboxing #karate See more

24.01.2022 The ground is the last place you want to be but we must train for this!!! Would you know what to do to fight off an attacker or five? We focus a lot on keeping our base in training to make sure we can avoid these kinds of situations, but if you end up on the ground you want to know what to do!!! . .... . #selfprotection #spa #ground #fight #fightback #selfdefence #selfdefense #training #cqc #martialarts #instakids #kidsselfdefence #resilience #educate #afterschool #highschool #highett #sandringham #beaumaris #melbourne #happiness #fitness #boxing #krav #bjj #kickboxing #teens #kids #confidence See more

18.01.2022 When people hear the words, Self Defence / Self Protection, they think ninja, karate chops, chokes etc. In reality, self protection is 90% mental and 10% physical. While we focus on the physical, the mental is constantly being enforced. There are so many things you can do to protect yourself without stepping foot into a gym. Planning, situational awareness, confidence, trusting your gut, are just a few things you can do to avoid violence. A violent encounter is terrifying an...d anything can happen so a little preparation, assessing your surrounds and making smart choices are going to help you live a happier and safer life. But if the does hit the fan, we are here to teach you how to deal with the situation. . . . #training #selfprotection #selfdefence #selfdefense #spa #quote #instaquote #instahealth #healthylifestyle #motivation #situationalawareness #bayside #preparation #goals #melbourne #training #resilience #confidence #health #combatives #mentalhealth #happiness #preparation #life #healthmindandbody #violenceprevention #nutrition #wellness #selfcare See more

16.01.2022 If I’m engaged in a fight, I like to have my: Hands open and forward Elbows at 90 degress so I can resist a punch Chin down... My eyes are looking just over the tips of my fingers Elbows close to the body nice and tight My hands are open so that I have options like to grab or trap. Plus by having my hands open, I can catch the punch I don't see. . . . #tip #instatip #technique #selfprotection #highett #punch #strike #fight #fightback #selfdefence #gym #gymrat #training #workout #blackbelt #combatives #closequartercombat #streetsmart #healthylifestyle #mentaltoughness #confidence #awareness #learn #educate #smallbusiness #kingston #bayside #violenceprevention #kids #adults

13.01.2022 TIP: Defending a Headlock Whilst we dont see a lot of this around, we still need to learn how to defend it. 1. Firstly, get your base back as quickly as possible ... 2. Act quickly to change their train of thought, one hand striking the groin and the other straight for the face 3. Use your fingers to go for the eyes, cartilage under the nose and thumb under the chin 4. You want to tilt their head back and take them down 5. Once down, focus on staying near the head so that you are away from their limbs Just remember, if we end up in a headlock, our situational awareness has failed us. . . . #spa #selfdefence #highett #selfprotection #melbourne #martialarts #boxing #kravmaga #muaythai #kidssport #taekwondo #streetsmart #instafit #mentaltoughness #karate #instakids #streetfighter #gymjunkie #gym #workout #confidence #knowledge #sweat #womensselfdefence #outdoors #training #healthylifestyle #mentalhealth #headlock #defend #protect

09.01.2022 TIP #1: The quickest way to improve your technique, is to train in front of the mirror as often as you can. This way you can see what you are doing wrong as quite often you think you are doing one thing when in fact youre not. . . . #spa #selfprotection #selfdefence #selfdefense #bayside #kingston #highett #sandringham #tip #training #confidence #technique #kramaga #boxing #karate #kidssport #afterschoolsport #adults #fight #tough #fightback #resilience #gym #motivation #inspiration #mentaltoughness #antibullying #melbourne #fitness

09.01.2022 This is so true!!! Now and then we need to take time to check in on ourselves to make sure the things we are doing are helping us lead a healthy lifestyle. We are creatures of habit and sometimes those habits arent good.

08.01.2022 Here we are talking wrist control. You always need two points of contact.

08.01.2022 Keep it simple!!! Quite often we will be at a disadvantage whether it be size or strength when we come up against a predator but this doesnt mean we cannot defend ourselves. Sometimes the simplest of techniques are the most effective. At SPA we are all about keeping it simple. We just need to apply the right technique that is going to throw them off their game so we can escape. ...

06.01.2022 TIP #2: Keep your chin down, elbows in and down as you want to get all of your mass and body weight involved in your strike. When you are training, try and picture someone has their arms either side of you like this and punch within that framework. . . . #spa #selfprotection #selfdefence #selfdefense #training #boxing #training #workout #combatives #womensselfdefence #cqc #kravmaga #highett #technique #blackbelt #martialarts #karate #bjj #sparring #tip #instatips #instafit #trainer #instructor #melbourne #power #punch #strike #jab #gym

04.01.2022 Violence is ugly and anything can happen even to the most experienced fighters. You could step back and fall over a bottle, fall off the edge of a curb etc. Here, Tristan is explaining to the students that it is so important to know how to defend yourselves but it is just as important to walk away from what could turn into a violent encounter. We must leave our egos at the door and remember that walking away is very often the best solution to the problem. . .... . #selfprotection #sefdefence #selfdefense #martialarts #highett #melbourne #ego #fightback #defend #educate #training #learning #highschool #boxing #fighting #tough #mindset #mentaltoughness #fighters #squad #tribe #spa #beaumaris #hampton #sandringham #kravmaga #bjj #instakids #teens #sport See more

03.01.2022 Whilst we try our best to avoid a violent encounter, sometimes this is just not possible and we have to defend ourselves. Check out this video of Rachel + Tristan demonstrating how to Defend against a choke from the front.

01.01.2022 TIP #5: Finding Base Having a solid base is EVERYTHING!!! Staying grounded and balanced and connected to the earth is going to give you the power in your strikes and punches.... How do we find a solid base, best done with a partner: Stand shoulder-width apart Pretend someone is pushing you back slightly on the chest. Let your preferred foot fall back Get someone to push you from side to side and back to front. If you find you are falling on one particular side, move your foot out further until you feel solid. You should feel solid when someone pushes you from every angle. . . . #spa #base #findingbase #combatives #tip #instatip #tips #exercise #train #fitness #technique #martialarts #selfdefence #selfdefense #educate #fighting #practice #tristankealy #gym #gymlife #kravmaga #bjj #boxing #highett #sandringham #melbourne #mentone #parkdale #sport #kidssport
