Self Defence Tips for Women

SELF DEFENCE TIPS FOR WOMEN
1. React Immediately 2. Resist 3. Avoid Crime Scene #2 4. Never Give Up Crime scene #2 is the where a victim is taken after the initial crime (“come with me,” “get in the car”). The second “crime scene” is, statistically, ALWAYS worse than the first “crime scene.” This means that if you’re ever confronted with a bad situation —you NEVER, EVER GO WITH SOMEONE to a second place or location. Never. If you have to fight or escape or raise a commotion to get attention, you do it right where it happens. Never go with someone, get in someone’s car, or allow yourself to be taken —to a ....

Martial Arts - its NOT about violence

MARTIAL ARTS LESSONS…IT’S NOT ABOUT VIOLENCE

Just the other day a parent asked me if she asked “Do I think that Martial Arts classes promote violent behaviour in young boys?” I thought it was a fine question. Yes, there have been a few cases (very few) of students “playing martial arts” with friends, the same way they play as their favourite superheroes, but I’ve never heard of the play being malicious or hurtful. I do, however, hear many stories of my young students using the kind of restraint we talk about in almost every class. I hear many stories of the young people in my program –and other martial arts schools ....

Adults learn Martial Arts Philsophy

MARTIAL ARTS PHILOSOPHY

The Philosophy Behind the Martial Arts
* One of the most priceless gifts of martial arts practice is to get to know yourself internally and externally. * Our main goal is to use the body to reach and learn to master the mind. Once you have mastered your mind you will have no desire to ever fight. * In real martial arts, even when faced with the situation, you can stay calm and cantered and make the best choices in that moment. * Martial arts training helps us learn to deal with adversity. * Through the practice we become aware of what we think and why. What shapes our values and beliefs, and then we can step back and look at it with more of a pure mind. * ....

Dealing with Aggressive Behaviour

DEALING WITH AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR
Most people never have the experience or knowledge to deal with aggressive behaviour before it happens. As part of our self-defence classes at Tring Martial Arts Academy, we will teach you methods such as are listed below to ensure you are properly prepared should the worst happen. No one can say with any certainty what they would do if faced with difficult or stressful situations. Many factors can affect the way you behave; from your own confidence and experience to how you are feeling on the day. There are no right or wrong answers but it will help if you think through the options ahead of time. Be aware of changes in the behaviour of the person ....

Adrenaline can be your friend AND your enemy

ADRENALINE FRIEND OR FOE
I love the work of Rory Miller, the author of “Mediations on Violence” , in my opinion the best Martial Arts/Real World book out there. I came across this article by Rory and think its absolutely spot on. Most people can’t fight ‘cold’. They need the emotional edge of fear or anger to get over the taboos involved in hurting people. Not everyone, but almost everyone. Even very experienced fighters, whether good guys or bad guys, want to be “in the zone” just like any other athlete. Part of being in the zone is an optimum level of adrenalization. I’ll use adrenaline throughout this as easy shorthand, but know that ....

Bag Workouts for increased Fitness

Kickboxing Bag Workouts
At Tring Martial Arts we use kickboxing bags, also known as heavy bags, to develop our skills and power. Kickboxing bags, like boxing bags are heavy and very hard when struck. You should always use a pair of approved gloves and consider wrapping your hands and wrists with bag wraps prior to working out. Remember that correct technique will make any strike “feel” better but every strike will hurt until our Instructors have helped you to condition your body. Tring Martial Arts provides many other types of equipment for your use including:- 1. Heavy bags 2. Floor to Ceiling Ball (develops accuracy and reactions) 3. Speed Ball (helps to condition ....

Adults Love Kickboxing at TMA

The Benefits Of Kickboxing at Tring Martial Arts Academy Overview
I saw an advert recently for Street Rugby, I’ve never heard of it before and it made me think that nowadays we have so many exercise alternatives available to us that it can be difficult to find one suitable for you. For those who have met me, I am sure you can’t imagine me at a Zumba or Salsa Fitness class, likewise standing on a vibrating plate just wouldn’t suit me at all! I believe that Kickboxing offers an attractive alternative. You don't need to become a prizefighter when you sign up for a Kickboxing class at Tring Martial Arts but you will quickly learn that this is a fitness activity that ....

Physical Benefits of Martial Arts for Adults

1. You Will Lose Weight
The first thing that you’ll probably notice as a martial artist in training is that your clothes will become too big. That’s because our training will make you as fit and healthy as you have been in your life. Plus, you’ll become more in control of your life and you’ll want to eat a healthy, well balanced diet that supports your training. 2. You Will Look and Feel Years Younger
When we neglect our bodies, imperceptibly over time we gradually accept lower standards of fitness, of health and therefore living. Worse, we don’t even realize how bad we feel, until we wake up and get fit. Training in the martial arts will reconnect ....

We would highly recommend Tring Martial Arts. Our son has been attending TMA for over four years. In that time, training with TMA has really helped to improve his confidence and focus but above all he has had lots of fun and made great progress through the belts.

The facilities, including the purpose built Dojo, and equipment are fantastic and all of the instructors, Paula, Chris and the team, are really patient, friendly and welcoming. The centre is also exceptionally clean. There is a viewing area for parents to watch lessons and grab a coffee and there is car parking on site. Overall a fantastic martial arts centre.

Libby McKerrow

The ethos of the Academy has certainly rubbed off on Benji and I hope that your continued support and development of each individual continues. Well done for creating such a high calibre school in the heart of our community.

Marcus Tomlinson

Returned to Martial Arts after many years absence. Found everyone to be really friendly, helpful and very professional. Delighted to be getting back in the zone in such a great environment. I highly recommend Tring Martial Arts Academy to anyone looking to get fitter, learn self defence and improve mental discipline skills.😀

Sandy Chadwick

Awesome place, Chris is a fantastic coach and leader, and the atmosphere and ethos are spot on.

John Duckett

This is great place to train in martial arts. Friendly staff and instructors, the building is purpose built for the art. The is floor is covered in soft matting also there is somewhere to put shoes and coats and other belongings. There is car park next door and only a minute away .

Liz Brown Siggers

My daughter wanted to do Martial Arts. I researched it and TMA seemed the most professional. My first point of contact was Paula who was very interested in how they could help my daughter as an individual. My daughter is very shy and so found it hard to join in on her first lesson but Paula was brilliant and worked with her 1:1 until she was okay.

The instructor is a real sweetie - the kids love him. I like that TMA offers the whole package; a purpose build luxury dojo, excellent personable staff, the whole etiquette and philosophy, as well as the technical and practical skill.

The classes are fun and you can really see the progress and confidence improving with each session. So far TMA has totally exceeded my expectations. I’m so glad we found them. Would highly recommend.

David Milbourn

Just completed my first visit which involved back to back sessions of Freestyle Martial Arts and Krav Maga and felt compelled to write a review.

Fantastic facilities and equipment, patient and friendly instructors, all the members I spoke with were approachable and helpful. If you are concerned it might be too intimidating to try a session then you shouldn't worry as this is the perfect club for you, all abilities are welcomed.

Andy Trueman

Such a friendly and professional team. Great atmosphere and everyone is so welcoming. My daughter loves her sessions here

Sue R

TMA has had an incredibly positive impact on our son. We are very appreciative of everything that TMA has done to increase his fitness and confidence and hope that he maintains his enthusiasm for many years to come.

With an emphasis on personal and social development, not just physical skills, TMA is an extremely supportive, family-friendly environment for people of all ages and abilities. I have recommended TMA to others and cannot praise it highly enough.
