Kick
Your Way To Greater Fitness & Health
WHAT
IS TAIBO KICKFIT®?
TaiBo
KickFit® is my
concept of a Japanese word
literally meaning ‘the way of
t he body’, and,
it
describes exactly what I am searching for – ‘the way of MY body and mind’.
Keeping healthy should be a way of life and not a passing excitement.
Our TaiBo KickFit®
classes have been running for well over 9 years, and, it
has proved to be a major success
for people from all walks of life and fitness levels. To our knowledge, we are the first to start
up this concept of Martial Art/fitness training in Southern Africa, however, many other have
since started up as well. It is amazing to hear of people who now run
'TaiBo' classes stating that they have "Martial Art experience???". 
Well, I guess
any short stint of training can constitute "experience!!" To be
a quality and sustainable teacher/facilitator, it is
important to firstly have a solid grounding in the Martial Arts with an aerobic/keep fit
background, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND! Aerobic/fitness instructors are
NOT Martial
Artist instructors in
tights! However, the general public are unaware of this and are still
flocking in droves to those that have studied the relevant video tapes and have
now become ' instructors' in the field?? Remember it is not important to have
a wonderful facility for the training to be of a
good quality. In Okinawa and Japan most of the great teachers do not have big health
clubs but offer classes from their home - unbelievable
and world-class instruction!

WHO
IS THE TAIBO KICKFIT®

 The
instructor is Buddy Govender. Buddy has been training in the
Martial Arts for
over 36
years and has trained and graded to 6th dan Black Belt in Okinawa Japan. Buddy was also a professional
footballer with Berea FC in the Federation Professional League and Amazulu FC in the South African National 1st division for 10 years and
has extensive experience in the field of health, keep-fit and self-defence. He
continuously researches modern methods to ensure he maintains and passes on a
high level of health and fitness to his students.
WHAT
DO I NEED TO GET STARTED IN TAIBO KICKFIT® ??
One
constantly sees television adverts offering
‘amazing’ fitness gadgets.
Some of these are good but most of them are good for nothing, WITHOUT
your input! You do not need these gizmos to gain health and fitness.
You can get fit just by walking everyday, or by running, or by swimming
consistently. Health and fitness
needs YOUR commitment to YOURSELF! – the treadmills and indoor pools are merely
by-products. TaiBo KickFit® does not rely
on any special equipment to help you achieve your fitness and health. All it
requires is YOUR
enthusiasm, commitment and consistent
participation.
IS
TAIBO KICKFIT®
HARD WORK??
Yes, it is
hard work but the rewards
are worth
this effort. It is reported that
TaiBo KickFit® training  "burns an incredible 800 calories a session" and
therefore if you train consistently, weight loss and toning is almost guaranteed.
The
Benefits of this type of training are :
-
gaining
invaluable self-defence skills;
-
toning
of the entire body - head to toe;
-
improving
co-ordination and strength;
-
improved
cardio-vascular fitness due to the varied intensity of the workout;
-
having
great fun whilst working-out with no added pressures.
WHAT
WILL
TAIBO KICKFIT®
DO FOR ME???
The martial art
combinations and techniques in my TaiBo KickFit® classes strengthens and tones
your abs, legs,
chest, hips, arms – in fact your whole body!
The will to continue punching and kicking even when you are tired will also
improve your stamina and mental-potential. You
will also acquire valuable self-defence skills and improved co-ordination,
strength and cardiovascular fitness – what else do you need!
WHAT
ARE OUR TAIBO KICKFIT®
CLASSES LIKE??
The class begins with a
full-body warm-up that
progresses into a form
of shad ow karate/boxing involving kicks, punches, strikes, blocks, body evasions
and a whole
lot of fun – all done to great, pumping music!
We work on easy to learn techniques that will certainly improve your self-defence
skills, overall body condition and confidence!! Our
classes are devised to improve anybody that has the aspiration to improve their health and fitness, as well as
to develop self-defence
techniques. The classes are extremely enthusiastic and a great time is
held by all. We have received some great feed-back and even those that
have never trained in their lives have indicated that they have never felt so
good before! We work extremely hard to keep the music fresh, motivating
and relevant to the combinations.
SO,
NOW WHAT???
Hey, it
is difficult trying to explain what REALLY happens in the class, so if you are
really keen, COME DOWN and join us for a session to feel the spirit and vibe!
