Beginner’s Karate Oadby

Today’s karate session was an eye opener for all our beginner karate students and me as well.
For the preceding weeks we have been concentrating on getting everyone ready for our Karate Belt Grading.
We only put forward students who we think will be good enough to pass, and if not, then they will have to wait for the next grading or when they are ready.
The Grading went well, and the parents and students went away really happy.
After the Karate Grading’s we usually do different things
in the Kids karate class to keep the students enthusiasm moving forward, and to develop new techniques.
Last week we did a Martial Arts circuit session in all the karate classes which all the students really enjoyed.
I mentioned to the students we would be trying board breaking the following week.
The students were excited, some had tried it before and not been able to break the board.
We don’t make things easy, if the Karate Technique is good then they will break the board, we don’t have boards that are easy to break.
The first student came up to the board and did the 3 practice
moves, then they had three attempts to break it…. One by one all the students stepped up to have their go, some were nervous, some were buzzing, but no one could break the board.
Then the last student stepped up, and for the last few weeks
I had noticed his enthusiasm wasn’t as it should be for the class.
He did his 3 practice kicks, did his first kick which broke the board, all the students clapped his efforts and he looked at me with a look of surprise an astonishment. He did really well.
He walked out with is head held high and his enthusiasm and excitement pouring out his body. All the other students were really excited and happy for him too.
I was really pleased for him and also explained to the other students that when you achieve something at our club, it really means something because you have earned it.

At Oadby Kickboxing we concentrate on Kickboxing for Fitness

rather than the fighting side which can and will put most people off.

Each session is always different , so you can never get used to

the same type of training.

The sessions are tough but always fun to do.

There will be fitness and stamina routines in each class,

and High impact Pad and Bag work mixed in with core strengthening

and flexibility exercises.

All ages and abilities are welcome.

Come along for a free trial session.

Do I choose the gym or do I choose the classes?
Its a big decision to take…..

The Gym looks good with lots of sexy looking equipment,
the classes are exciting and the members really enjoy them.

Which do I choose?

The answer is easy,do both.

Our Gym + Activity package is really good value.

So Many of our members start with the gym and then combine
a classes in their package or start in our classes then add the gym
to their package.

Variety of training is the Key to success in getting fit and weight
reduction and staying motivated, and our group classes give you the
support to push yourself that little bit further.

The atmosphere created in the White Tiger facility in Oadby is one of support and encouragement in every respect. The instructors treat the students with empathy and understanding whilst encouraging a dedicated approach to discipline and responsibility. I have visited many martial arts facilities over the years and White Tiger Oadby, under the instruction of Kevin Rossel is the least intimidating and most progressive I have experienced. Kevin understands the capabilities and limitations of the youngest to the eldest of the class and adjusts his expectations accordingly; the result is a motivated class with a shared feeling of achievement and commitment to further advancement. Outside of the martial arts classes, the facility runs a number of other classes targeting functional strength and fitness; the programs incorporate the latest developments in health and fitness whilst maintaining the cornerstone ingredients of true physical strength and endurance progression. The Oadby facility also holds a well thought out gymnasium, equipped in line with the White Tiger philosophy of practical and functional fitness. The equipment available is the very latest and of the highest quality and the staff are always on hand to assist and advise whenever you need them. Kevin’s approachable demeanor and his obvious and sincere enjoyment of helping his students advance is extremely reassuring to me as a parent. It’s a rare treat to meet a 3rd Dan Black Belt and a man who has successfully completed multiple Iron Man competitions, who seems more impressed with a 5 year old making an attempt to swing a skipping rope or complete a press up than he does in any of his own achievements. If you are looking for a Karate class for your children or contemplating joining a gym with a supportive and down to earth approach, I strongly recommend you visit White Tiger in Oadby, where fun, fitness and family are the order of the day.

We are again taking up the challenge of the Loughborough Half Marathon.

The event starts in Loughborough city centre and is well run and there are

a few coffee shops open to keep you warm before the start:-)

There is a good bag drop area, and the warm up and music at the start

gets you more than ready to start.

Any WhiteTiger member who is up for the Challenge, let me know.

Its a interesting course that we have done for the last two years

and is described as undulating and rolling…. i’m sure there are some

hills that you have to struggle up from my memory:-(

Next year (2015) is time to break through that time barrier for

Team Whitetiger, we can, and will do it.!!

Get your running shoes on over winter and get running.

We take part in a variety of sporting events during the year as group

activities, including Running events , Triathlons, Swimming events,

Sportive Cycling events, and Middle distance triathlons, and Ironman

Events,

This year Team Whitetiger ran the Paris Marathon in aid of Rainbows

Charity and raised £,1200.00

Towards the end of the Marathon it was hard going but thinking of

the cause we were running for was what got us through to the finish.

It was tough going as its a challenging course to do, but with the base

training we did, we completed it and did really well.

Those runs after Saturday Adult Kickboxing really paid off.

Many thanks for Asda for allowing us to do a collection on the doors:-)

that raised over £100 in 1 hour.

Any charity event we do will always be self-funded by participants

with 100% of donations going towards the charity.

Other events on our Events Calender are Lanzarote Ironman,

London Triathlon, Vitruvian Middle Distance Traithlon, and

Challenge Weymouth , along with a variety of cycling sportive events

and running events we will let you know as we pencil them in.
