Love training!




Had an ACE day today!

Kicked off with an hour of fighters training at AMAG. 3 guys getting in shape for the ring in a month. Its always a pleasure helping to train the fight team, and our head insturctor, Pat, always delivers informative and 100% purposful sessions with dedicated focus on his fighters. An inspiration!

Then I delivered the latest kettlebell workshop, with 7 new starts, and 1 returning for a refresher after some time off. Everyone taking part today did a fantastic job of performing good technique, very good technique. The session was 3 hours and as expected everyone worked up a bit of a sweat, also completing the short workout at the end just to get that final burst. Well done Dan, David, Paul, Gavin, David, Trish, Caroline and Leanne! It was a pleasure training with you and I hope to see you at some classes soon - keep in touch!

Kettlebell class came next with 3 new faces and 1 returning to the Sunday session. We set a benchmark on which everyone can develop. Challenging mobility & body basics followed the dynamic warm up. Then the kettlebell workouts which challeneged all, but as I say, set the benchmark for the weeks to come. Sweat?!?! Oh yes!

To top off a great day, we kickstarted a beginners block of Kali in my Sunday stick class. 9 AMAG students took hold of the stick and had a committed Kali session focusing on fundamental angles of attack, defenses against these angles as well as counter attacks. Over the next 3 weeks the same students will develop their training and fundamental understanding of Kali at AMAG. Jonny and Heather did a good job delivering part of the class in between our double stick training!

...We aint here for a long time, we're here for a good time!
