Newsletter winter 2024 kids & youngsters

Here we are again - the new year 2024 has started. We hope you enjoyed the festive season and have a happy, healthy and sporty year ahead!

We can't wait to join you in all kinds of sporting adventures again this year and make it a sporty year. Of course, we would love to take you through all the new things happening within Taus Gym.

So, what's on the programme, among other things? We are organising a brand new workshop for the youngsters of Krav Maga as well as Grappling but also a special carnival training for the kids. In addition, you will find all the ins and outs about the upcoming exams and we will start again with a new round of the Women Only Krav Maga course. Plus, we'll throw some photos from previous events into the mix and keep you updated on the upcoming holidays.

Curious about what else is in store? Read on quickly!

Youth Krav Maga workshop: multiple attackers

It is increasingly common for young people among themselves to harass other young people in large groups. This can range from bullying to even threats or physical violence. This can be difficult to deal with, especially if you are alone facing such a group.

During the workshop: multiple attackers, we pay more attention to situations where you have not 1 attacker in front of you but several. How do you act then? Will you have to use your voice more or will you have to act faster physically? This will all be discussed during this special training.

The Krav Maga workshop for young people will take place on Sunday 4 February 2024. It starts at 1pm and ends at 2.30pm.

Would you like to participate in the training? Then sign up here to. Participation is free of charge for our members.

Grappling workshop

We have some good news! Namely, we are going to launch a special Grappling organising workshop for anyone aged 14 and above.

Grappling is a martial art that deals mainly on the ground. As a result, you develop skills in ground fighting. In addition, it is an incredibly good workout for your body. This is because you use all your muscle groups and also improve your coordination and agility.

The Grappling workshop will be delivered by Marcel. He has years of experience in the sport and has also been a successful competitive fighter.

The workshop will take place at Thursday 11 January 2024. It starts at 6pm and ends at 7.15pm.

Carnival training

With the arrival of carnival, we are also going to dress up our classes a bit more festively. What does this mean for you? That you can of course come to training in your awesome costume.

In the week before the Carnival holidays, all kids may come dressed up. Festive training sessions will be held on the following dates.

Tilburg: Monday 5 February and Tuesday 6 February 2024   

Breda: Monday 5 February and Thursday 8 February 2024 

Hope to see you then too!

First aid course

We are organising another super fun first aid course in the spring! We know that accidents do happen in sports and everyday life, and it is always useful to know what to do if something happens. 

The course will take place in April and for anyone wishing to register their interest, they can do so via our contact form. Together, we provide a fun and safe sports environment!

Information screen Tilburg

We will soon be introducing a brand new addition to our Tilburg location, especially for you! We recently installed a new TV screen, and we have plans to share all kinds of important information and announcements on it. This means you won't have to miss any announcements, updates or news anymore.

From upcoming events to exams and other details, you will find it all on this new information platform. So keep a close eye on this screen so that you are always up to date with what's going on.

Recap: Halloween workout

In autumn, we didn't let the cold and darkness stop us. No, we just headed outdoors for our Krav Maga classes! And let's not forget the exciting Halloween training sessions where we tested your Krav Maga skills in a spooky environment.

Holiday schedule

Carnival and the May holidays are just around the corner, and that means we will have a slightly different schedule than usual. So keep well the agenda in order to avoid surprises.

Carnival holidays: 10 February 2024 to 18 February 2024

May holidays: 27 April 2024 to 5 May 2024

Exams

The exams are an important part of Krav Maga. This is because the exams test your skills to determine whether you are ready for the next level.

Of course, we are happy to help you prepare towards the exam. To this end, we schedule extra training sessions that will get you ready for the real thing.

CURRICULUM TRAINING  

The name says it all, curriculum-based training. The curriculum is the list of techniques used within Krav Maga.

During the curriculum training, you can go through the techniques for your level and get some extra training. Ideal if you want to know which techniques belong to your level.
