Our instructors use a combination of stretching, cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training, and body conditioning to help students continuously improve their overall fitness and flexibility.

We place a high emphasis on fitness so our centres constantly vary the types of fitness training they do to maintain an all-round body fitness and also to keep our classes as interesting and fun as possible. We also believe it is important to condition the mind, so our instructors use endurance training to help students learn how to deal with fatigue – often the difference between success or failure in a combat situation.

Our students have reported experiencing a whole range of benefits from training, some physical and some mental. Many students report that the fitness training has helped with: weight loss, improving their overall fitness and core strength. Some find that the training boosts their self esteem, gives them more confidence at work, helps them to focus, and to practice self-discipline outside of the training environment.

Although often busy and noisy, many students also find that the discipline of the training environment is calming and helps them to relieve stress. Unlike some fitness or martial arts classes, we encourage students to change training partners (this can be as many as 20 different partners in a single class) to experience training with partners with different builds and levels of fitness. This also has the additional benefit of creating a welcoming environment where students get to know one another and make friends quickly.
