CHI KUNG
It is a method of breathing exercise to help you ‘centre’ yourself
Chi Kung can help harmonise, strengthen and have a healing effect on the functioning of all the internal organs and bodily systems. Chi Kung involves performing movements that simulates the flow of chi through the body. It increases the supply and flow of energy throughout the body, can have a variety of rejuvenating effects and is believed to increase longevity, and it induces calm mental and emotional states.
Benefits of Chi Kung:
Body-posture
Movement
Reflection/Visualisation
STRETCHING
Techniques of Stretching
Stretching is a form of physical exercise in which a specific muscle or tendon (or muscle group) is deliberately flexed or stretched in order to improve the muscle's felt elasticity and achieve comfortable muscle tone. The result is a feeling of increased muscle control, flexibility, and range of motion.
There are three main techniques: static, active and dynamic stretching.
Benefits of stretching are:
improves strength, balance and flexibility.
helps with back pain relief.
relaxes you to help you sleep better.
helps you to focus on your work.
more energy and brighter moods.
helps you manage stress.
LIIT
Low Intensity Interval Training
LIIT is a safe and very effective way to build long term muscle and burn fat. The repetitions and bursts of low impact exercise strengthen targeted muscles and enhance your overall cardiovascular fitness.
LIIT is similar to HIIT in the way that it consists of intervals of higher and lower intensity. The difference is that the high-intensity periods aren't nearly as intense. Intensity during a LIIT routine is never at or above a sprint, and recovery time is longer.
A low-intensity sustained-state workout involves any exercise that keeps your heart rate at a steady pace of about 50% of its maximum ability and lasts for an extended period. LIIT results in lower chances of injury.
Benefits of LIIT are:
Improves blood circulation and increases blood flow.
Builds cardiovascular endurance.
Builds muscle endurance.
Lessens fatigue.
Burns fat.
Places less strain on your joints, ligaments and tendons therefore reduces the risk of injury.
KOREAN MARTIAL ARTS
Korean Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practiced for a number of reasons such as self-defense for military and law enforcement applications, competition, physical, mental, and spiritual development; entertainment and the preservation of a nation's intangible cultural heritage.
Benefits of martial arts training:
Helps you to be more alert and focused. The longer a person has trained, the more enhanced his or her cognition becomes.
Drills may help reduce stress, anxiety and ailments. The deep breathing exercises, i.e. Chi Kung produce a calming effect on a martial artist.
Assertiveness, emotional stability and improvement in self-esteem
Self-belief and self-compassion.
Weapons training will allow you to develop very sharp sense of accuracy and precision.
As you build strength of mind and spirit, you also start to build confidence.
WEAPONS TRAINING
Benefits of Weapons Training:
Weapons training will allow you to develop very sharp sense of accuracy and precision.
The Jang Bong (long staff) is great for teaching you hand-eye coordination as well as getting all your major muscle groups to work in harmony.
Self-Development - Being mentally and physically centred is one of the great benefits of any martial arts training. Weapons further this, making you concerned not only with the balance and positioning of yourself but also an extension of yourself.
Increased strength – handling a weapon, even a light one, increases the load on our muscles and joints and helps them get stronger.
A stronger core – weapons’ handling forces the two halves of the body (lower and upper) to work in tight coordination. This then helps build core strength as the different muscle groups begin to move smoothly together.
Better coordination - because handling a weapon adds to the overall amount of force being applied to the body, it requires better hand/eye coordination.
Improved stamina – weapons training is not just about strength, it requires a sustained number of movements carried out convincingly. Sustaining that requires muscles that can perform without failing for a longer period of time than if they were performing without a weapon.
Better mental agility – the mind is the greatest weapon. Having the ability to create complex mental models of what we do and how and then adjust them on the fly requires the kind of mental computing power few people can manage. Weapons training becomes an intense mental workout the moment you pick up a weapon and start to wave it around.
