MOPS, TWIGS & SWORDS!

13/01/2021

Last night, our members were using all kinds of items to participate in their martial arts classes.

At KB Fitness, we offer classes in three different disciplines: KB Kickboxing, KB Kung Fu and KB Self Defence. 

It was during a KB Kung Fu class, that our members were encouraged to pick up their ‘swords’ and ‘staffs,’ (poles) or the equivalent thereof.

The forest local to one member, Gracie, was kind enough to donate a sword to her, in the form of an oversized twig. Mops, brooms and so on were popular.

KB Chief Instructor, Kelly Bunyan, said:

“Weapon training in my classes, more than anything, is for fun. So when my students show off their ‘weaponry,’ it certainly makes for a good laugh! Training with such props adds a wonderful dimension to the martial arts experience.”

One KB Member,  added:

‘I love the fact that Kelly isn’t teaching us how to go out and use weapons on others aggressively. Instead, it’s all about self-empowerment, learning how to defend yourself (never lulled into a false sense of security mind) and most importantly, we have a blast whilst keeping fit.’

If you would like to join the school and lift your spirits, now is a great time, as we’re offering a Kickboxing trial. Click on the link below to get started.
