BODY COMBAT FOR CHARITY

I have always loved Body combat ever since I first joined a class about 7 years ago. I don't think this is the first  Body combat event for charity. However this is the first time it was done for furry friends. I might be wrong. Anyway I will be joining this event happening on 13

th march,2016. Some  of the body combat instructors I know will be taking part.
More details on the event on facebook here and here  For those body combat members there will be a special price.So hurry up and sign up and support. I remember years ago there was a charity drive for an animal shelter at camp5. It was a rock climbing event.  Wonder if there will be one again this year, as I enjoyed rock climbing just as much as body combat. I will definately support if there is one.

BODY COMBAT – FIGHTING FIT

This is one gym group excercise I loved.

There are so many different types and ways of working out that even those who are averse to exercising (if they make the effort) will likely find something they’d enjoy.

If conventional exercises like running on the treadmill or weight-lifting is not for you, then why not try something a little different?

Body Combat is one such workout that will take you away from the humdrum of the usual. And not only that, you’ll leave the class feeling fierce!

WHAT'S BODY COMBAT?

As the name suggests, this workout is martial-arts inspired and incorporates many of the movements of martial arts – karate, boxing, taekwondo, tai chi and muay thai. This is a fiercely energetic class so don’t expect the instructor to go Karate Kid on you in a zen atmosphere; the classes are usually conducted along with pumping music so you’ll have a rocking time while kicking some imaginary butt!

WHY BODY COMBAT?

Body Combat is known to have a whole host of benefits.

It is an excellent workout for strengthening the core muscles, which in turn improves your posture and stability. You will be maximising calorie burn while you punch and kick your way through this cardio workout which incidentally, also makes you feel like you can take on the world - “You want a piece of me??”

Body Combat also improves heart and lung function, reduces the risks of heart disease, improves bone density, and tones and shapes key muscle groups. And if you’ve always wanted to work on your coordination and agility, then this workout may just be what you’ve been looking for.

CAN I DO IT?

Body Combat is no walk in the park but before you dismiss it, rest assured that classes are usually conducted with various fitness levels in mind. So whether you’re at beginner, intermediate or expert level, you should be able to find a class to suit your needs. And working out in a group usually brings out one’s competitive spirit so you would be more inclined to push yourself further.

On a more personal note, let me just say that I have tried Body Combat and it truly is an amazing workout. Did I feel like a martial arts expert? Hell no. Did I find it hard to keep up with the class? Well, like me, you may find some movements easier than others, for example punching may be a breeze but kicking difficult. It’s okay though, if you need to take a break, you just do and then rejoin the class when you’ve caught your breath. Yes, there were times when I did feel a little like an uncoordinated klutz but take comfort in the fact that everyone else around you is too engrossed in their workout to pay any attention to you.

All in all, it’s a very satisfying workout where you finish a class feeling accomplished and ready to take on the world! So give Body Combat a try if you’re on the lookout to add something new to your workout regime. And you’ll walk out of class feeling like a (sweaty) million bucks.

A TIRED NIGHT.

Wednesday night was suppose to do rock climbing with sifu, but because she injured her ankle during one of the hike the previous week, on doctor's advice she has to stay away from such sport and as well as teaching her class. So I went to another gym for Body combat class. It was very tiring for me, all because I had not been working out for the past few days. I felt so exhausted after the class.
A few days without workout can makes the different to our stamina.
On checking my Fb, saw Snow, my second God daughter's message.That really makes me forgot my fatigue.
She is currently working in Australia. She expressed regret she was unable to write long messages,as she had to work till late and get home around 10.00pm  then she had to rush off for a second job. She only get to sleep a couple of hours and then have to get out of bed by 5.30am the next day. Poor girl. I really feel for her. Seems like she have to work long hours and made do with little sleep. She signed off  with a request I sent her regards to the rest of the family members. So thoughtful of her.The last time she wrote was a few months ago, her birthday month to be exact.She wanted me to renew her driving licence, which I did and courier back to her.
Yes, I do missed her,but I guess she wont be coming home anytime soon. In the meantime, I will just be contented with her customary short text.

FITSCORE MOB BODY COMBAT

Just had the most exciting event. Nearly 2000 people attended this event which was billed as the biggest Body combat event in Malaysia. It made it to the Malaysian books of record. Met some of my hiking friends there as well. I am glad I could attended this big event.This is one of the few things I wanted to do before I turned 60 this oct. The other event I will be looking forward will be the rebooke    challenge which will be held in september. A few weeks ago I went for the Brooke challenge,just to have an insight what it was all about and to prepare myself mentally for the coming events.
