A practical introduction to kickboxing
I'd be more than happy to run this if enough people are interested. While I am not a qualified instructor (working on that one!), I've been kickboxing for about 5 years now and am getting scarily close to black belt (scary because the balck belt grading takes a day ;-).
I'd suggest scheduling this item as a first-thing-in-the-morning slot. It would help people wake up and give them energy for the day. We could run it outside if the weather is good.
I'd probably break down the hour into a very short introduction, some warm-up exercises, then we'd go on to learn some basic kicks and punches, do some pad work (this is where you actually get to hit things!), and finish off with cool-down and some stretches to you can still move the next day.
I'm putting this down as an idea rather than an item because I want to get an idea of how many people would be interested before I commit to anything. Running this item would involve some financial investment on my part as I'd need to get some extra kit.
