CONGRATULATIONS:
Everyone at the club would all like to send their congratulations to Matthew Laurence and Lee Knight for passing their black belt grading taken recently in July at the WUMA HQ in Cheltenham. It was a very tough two day grading and we are all very proud that they have succeeded.
There will shortly be some photos in the gallery of the presentation which will take place at the Worcester Competition on 18th September.

MARTIAL ARTS AND CHILDREN.
A psychological study found that children taking part in martial arts have an increased sense of responsibility, a decrease in the willingness to take foolish risks, along with a higher sense of self-esteem. This is why millions of parents are using martial arts to supplements their childrens education.
Our belt system is the key to building self-esteem,when they earn their belts it gives them a great sense of accomplishment.
Which really improves the way they feel about themselves.
Adam has developed friendly but firm rules of behaviour in class and he expects the same behaviour at home, in school and in the community.
Most children need to channel their aggression in a positive not a negative way, kickboxing will do this. By doing kickboxing they will learn essential self defence skills.
Our program teaches practical proven self defence methods.
We also teach the children that the moves they learn in class will work, and make sure they do not go home and try them out on dad, family, and friends.
With more confidence and self-esteem and the knowledge that they are a member of a great club, they will be better kid's all-round.
Last but not least they are a member of a team so they learn the art of social skills and how to work together for the good of their team mates and club.
So be the best that you can and all that you want to be.
GET A KICK OUT OF GETTING FIT.
1. Kickboxing gives you more benefits than any health club.
2. From a one hour work out you can burn off as much as 800
calories and nothing can come close to that.
3. Punches, kicks, and stretching exercises can give you great
muscle tone without the need to lift weights.
You will get tight buns,toned legs,a flat stomach, and a
strong upper body.
4. Stress relief - this is a major benefit, our students tell
us that this is one of the top reasons they can't get enough
of kickboxing.
5. Because of the mental strength that kickboxing develops
students get so absorbed in the class that their problems
seem a million miles away and they can think clearer,
sharper, and with more confidence than ever before.
6. Also a major benefit is flexibility, this gives you better
blood circulation, and a more relaxed overall lifestyle.
7. Self confidence - when you look good you feel good, we all
know that.Imagine adding, and I know I can take care of
myself, to the equation.There is no better feeling than
knowing you're in shape and you can defend yourself if you
ever have to.
Our aim is that everyone no matter who you are, gets the best instruction they can and have fun doing it.
We try to build a team sprit so every one can help each other as they develop their kickboxing skills. At all times the higher grades help the newcomers and lower grades sharpen up their skills so at any one time there is always more than the just myself (the instructor) on hand to help. This develops a great sense of friendship within the club whilst keeping the level of firmness needed to train.
So come a long and have great fun and get fit at the same time.
Your Instructor
Adam Laurence.
Firstly I would like to say that in the three and a half years I have been the administrator for Freestyle Kickboxing it has been a pleasure, I have seen students come and go but all have left their mark on the club.
For those students that have been with the club from the start I personaly thank you for your support and loyalty and I hope this will continue after I have gone, and to all the new students and future students this is a great little club and your instructor Adam Laurence is one of the best instructors in this sport he has a passion for the sport and has had it for the last 19 years and he passes this on to his students.
The club is a grass roots club were you can not only have fun but also learn a great way of fighting which has more than proven itself by the amount of titles and trophies, over 500 we have won.
I am sad and very proud to have been a part of this great little club and will miss all the students and parents and hope you all will give Adam your whole hearted support in the future as you have done for me.
Best Regards
Roy Laurence.( YODA )
