What is Martial-ates Fusion?
Take the core principles of pilates: breathing, concentration, centering, control, precision, and flow and combine them with principles of traditional martial arts: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, discipline, awareness, and defence just to name a few, and we have martial-ates fusion. A functional hybrid discipline that fuses the deep core control and precision of Pilates with the dynamic strikes, stances, and breathwork of traditional disciplines like TaeKwonDo. This synthesis transforms physical force into fluid, centered kinetic energy by anchoring every punch and kick deep within the body's center.

Ready to introduce more mindful movement into your workplace? Little Owl Studio can come to you and deliver a 50minute mat pilates, or 'martial-ates' fusion* session in your workplace at a time that suits you and your staff. These can be a regular weekly or bi-weekly class at the same time each week or a one-off -Boost the Flow' class at a time that suits your workplace. Get in touch with Little Owl Studio today to discover how our corporate classes can assist to support a healthier, happier and more engaged team.
