Self defence is the thing that gets you home safe.

If that means getting away, that's ok!

Sprints also help you get warm ready for class too! 😅

Sparring can seem intimidating, but once you've done it in a super welcoming environment with a supportive community of people you trust, (and all who have stuff to do the next day), you realise it's all about the learning and getting better together!

Excellent work from one of our junior instructors keeping up with his training! 💪

Well done to these two! 👏

They're working really well as a team and that's reflecting in their work in class.

A kick won’t always arrive from the perfect position.

During sparring, your partner moves.

The angle changes.

And the textbook kick you practised in a straight line suddenly feels very different.

This drill helps you generate force even when your body is in an awkward position.

Ask a partner to hold a cushion or pad while moving around you. Keep your feet facing the same direction and choose the leg that makes the most sense for their new position.

Your kick might look somewhere between a front kick and a side kick – that’s fine.

The aim is to:

🥋 Find the target quickly
🥋 Choose the appropriate leg
🥋 Stay balanced
🥋 Generate force from different angles
🥋 Recover without falling backwards

To make it more challenging, add a burpee between each kick. Your partner moves while you’re down, then you stand up, find them and respond.

It may begin to resemble a slightly low-budget action film, but it develops an important skill:

Being effective even when the position isn’t perfect.

Use a soft target, keep the power controlled and make sure you have plenty of clear space.
