Well yesterday was a real buzz, I spent my day attending the I-Combat instructor course, and of course, that means I get the rotten end of the stick for a change when it comes to some fitness and combat training! That’s right, me and the other trainees spent the full day punching, kicking, kneeing and elbowing through pads and partners with everything we had and under the watchful eyes of our instructors Jade and James of Impact Training – who of course enjoyed every moment… from a distance.
I-Combat, as the name suggests is a specific type of fitness workout that utilises a combination of techniques taken from boxing, Muay Thai, kick boxing, etc, to get the heart rate up and get every muscle you knew you had – and then some - working out hard hard hard! Training is tailored to individual clients of all levels and is great for basic through advanced fitness clients looking for something different and challenging in a workout.
For those who attend 360 Combat Club training much of this will be familiar already as Kapap training also focuses heavily on combat conditioning using similar techniques. It’s great to get a different perspective though and see how this type of training can and is being applied in the fitness industry where it is less about surviving a deadly assault and more about getting everyone involved and out of their arm chair.
Well as usual a great day out and I think it’s safe to say that we all went home knackered, but with smiley faces – as you do.
