Kick
Your Way To Greater Fitness & Health
WHAT
IS TAIBO KICKFIT IMPACT!!®?
TaiBo
KickFit IMPACT!!® comprises of a session where we put together
all the techniques done in  our
regular TaiBo KickFit class BUT with a partner who is holding a body
shield/focus pad in front of you. Both participants are required
to wear bag gloves to protect
their hands from abrasion when hitting the pads. This is the REAL
thing as full powered, focused techniques are aimed at the bags!
Keeping healthy should be a way of life and not a passing
phase with what is 'popular' at the time.
There should be tangible lessons gained and incorporated into
our daily lives. Our TaiBo KickFit IMPACT!! classes gives
you those valuable lessons in the event that you have to defend
yourself, Effort and lessons gained from actually hitting a
target are no comparison with just hitting and kicking 'fresh
air'. As the class is demanding, one has to be fitter and have the
concept of correct technique,
distance and timing (all of which is clearly explained and demonstrated
during the sessions)
Our
TaiBo KickFit IMPACT!!
class is recommended for anybody that has been training for an extended
period of time - again because the expectant fitness levels and
techniques have to be of a higher level and quality.
Our
TaiBo KickFit®
classes have been running for well over 10 years, and, it
has proved to be a major success
for people from all walks of life and fitness levels. Be very
cautious of people with NO or very little Martial Arts expertise
teaching this form of training as injuries will occur through incorrect
and inexperienced instruction.

HARD WORK??
Yes, it is
hard work but the rewards far exceed the effort.
This is almost as close to the real thing as
possible. You have an adversary that is moving about - you have to
concentrate on his movement, the distance between the both of you and the
targets available at that precise moment THEN you have to decide on the
technique
to use that will be most effective to ensure maximum results...put
all that together and its a lot of stuff to sort through BEFORE you
say....'WHAM!!!!' But we have great fun during this session and
judging from the comments received after the sessions, everybody cannot
wait for the next one!
