The thought of punching or kicking somebody to score a point is admittedly, quite ominous! During our martial arts school's rich 22+ year history, 100s of people have signed up to do just that!
So what's so appealing then? If so many have taken part, there must be something that entices and then hooks them to repeat the experience.
Well for a start, the sense of pride and satisfaction of scoring a point is unprecedented. The endorphin rush is off the scale!
There is no denying that competition can be hostile, yet in our school it is quite deliberately the opposite. No egos, just controlled, skilful martial arts. Everybody smiles, encourages and respects one another.
To get into it, newer students first spectate, then, when they witness that the ethos at KB Fitness is to nurture, rather than dominate, their self-confidence grows.
