We adapt where we can for students.
In class we have a few ladies with different health issues. So when they can't do an exercise we change it so they can still join in.
Does this mean they get an easier lesson than others? No. Everyone is working at different levels and all are pushed to work to theirs.

Ever wondered why we hold our partner's neck when practising knee strikes?
It's not just for show, there's a reason behind it! π
β
It helps you learn the correct clinch position.
β
It keeps your partner stable and balanced during the drill.
β
It improves your control, rather than relying on strength alone.
β
It helps you practise accurate knee placement safely.
β
It teaches proper technique that can be used in controlled sparring and competition.
Remember, training is all about control, safety, and good technique.
We practise these drills to build skill and confidence, not to hurt our training partners. ππ₯
Today's sparring session is all about sharpening our front kick and back kick! π₯
The front kick is fast, sharp, and brilliant for creating space. The back kick? That's all about timing, balance, and landing it with confidence.
Every drill gets us one step closer to becoming quicker, stronger, and more controlled in sparring.π₯
So grab your sparring partner and letβs practise this drill!

Being cute while throwing kicks? Challenge accepted.
π₯Ή Can we tell you a little secret?
Teaching our Ninja Tykes is incredibly rewarding. ππ₯·
You know why?
Because they listen, they try their best, and they work so hard to follow instructions.
It's those little moments; when they remember a technique, follow directions, or give their best effort, that make us so proud.
Honestly, they make us smile in every single class. ππ
