NEWSLETTER VOLUME 8 NO. 3
Hello everyone!
We hope this newsletter reaches you while you are well enjoying a tropical summer. At Taus Gym, we have had a great period; besides a lot of successful classes, we had a nice members' barbecue! Of course, we look back on this with great pleasure and it gives us a lot of energy to be able to work on a new period again.
In this newsletter, therefore, you will read about what you can expect from us in the coming period. Apart from the addition of a new lesson, we will also participate again in Meet The Marines and the Viking Run. We also want to inform you about the free workshops, a special (sports) first aid course, discounts for loyal members and timetable changes.
MEET THE MARINES
Last year, members of Taus Gym participated in “Meet the Marines”, an event where participants had to work together for 24 hours to achieve physically and mentally demanding missions. These missions are given by the elite of the Dutch armed forces. During these missions, you discover where your limits are and how to deal with them.
Working as a team, the passionate Taus Gym members achieved all the challenges! We received very enthusiastic feedback from everyone who participated. We are also extremely proud of these fighters. For these reasons, we have therefore decided to participate again next year!
During the Meet The Marines event of 23 May 2020 we would like to have a team ready to go again. The event starts at 09:00. The cost for the event is €135 for the first 10 participants. The location is yet to be announced. Would you like to take up the challenge with us? Then sign up HERE to!
VIKING RUN
For anyone who has been exercising at Taus Gym for some time, “Viking Run” is not an unfamiliar concept. For several years now, we have participated in the best “Obstacle Run” in the Netherlands with our highly driven members. This year we want to take up the challenge again and face a Strong Viking obstacle run with a group of warriors.
Strong Viking is an organisation that organises a series of obstacle runs between August and October. These events challenge participants to push their limits through thematic courses such as water and mud. Strong Viking's philosophy stems from the Vikings, who were known as adventurous and strong warriors who fought like brothers.
We would therefore like to gather our brothers and sisters from Taus Gym to participate in the “Brother” edition of Strong Viking. During this unique challenge, you will not only be tested physically and mentally, but you will also have to master a knack for teamwork. The “Brother” edition of Strong Viking will take place on 12 October in Amsterdam. We want to put together a team to participate in the 13km run. Participating will cost approximately €69 per person, costs vary depending on the time of registration.

KIDS KRAV MAGA NOW ALSO IN BREDA
Sport is good for children, we all know that. While playing, they develop their muscles and stay healthy and vital. But what makes Krav Maga extra special? Through Krav Maga classes at Taus Gym, children are not only working on their physical development, but also on developing important social skills. In groups, they learn how to act in threatening situations and learn about respect towards others. By teaching them how to stand up for themselves, we also build the children's self-confidence.
Due to the success of the lessons, we have decided to offer these trainings in Breda as well! The classes are for children aged between 8 and 12 and will each Monday take place of 17:45 to 18:30.
A free workshop will take place on 26 August. To register your child for a free workshop, or for the classes, please send them HERE sign up! (or via our Taus Gym Facebook page). Please include your child's name and age in the message.
FREE WORKSHOPS
A new period means new opportunities to try out all the classes! For those who do not yet exercise at Taus Gym, or for members who are curious about other classes, we open several times free our doors. This is also a great opportunity to introduce your friends and family if you are already a member yourself. During these classes, our professional trainers will introduce you to the world of Krav Maga or to the unique training programme FIT.

During the Krav Maga workshop, you get a short lesson in how to act in (life) threatening situations. Krav Maga is a self-defence system based on your instinctive reactions. This makes it easy to learn for everyone. Time the Krav Maga lessons you work on both your physical and mental well-being!

Kids Krav Maga (Anti-bully workshop)

(SPORTS) FIRST AID COURSE AT TAUS GYM
We will soon be organising a sports first aid course at Taus Gym for our instructors and our members. From our basic principles, we believe it is important to look out for each other. The first aid classes give you the skill to save lives, which we consider a hugely valuable life skill.
The course is conducted for Safetyschool, an organisation certified through NIKTA. They specialise in delivering short but intensive safety training courses. The course consists of an E-learning module and a practical lesson, including an exam. The practical lesson and exam take a total of 4 hours. During this practical lesson, extra attention will be paid to sports injuries.
This class is intended for Taus Gym/IKMF instructors and members. It will take place at Sunday 15 September from 13:00 to 17:00 at our main location (Taus Gym Professor Romeinstraat 11a). The cost of this course is €160 per person, including the certificate on passing the course.
Please note. Only 6 places are still available! Full = full.

SCHEDULE CHANGES & HOLIDAYS
While we hope you are still enjoying the tropical weather, we completely understand the enthusiasm to come back to exercise! We will open our doors again on Monday 5 August!
Apart from the aforementioned addition of Kids Krav Maga at the Breda location, it has been decided to drop the Krav Maga beginners and Krav Maga advanced classes on Wednesdays. Instead, members can attend a 1.5-hour Krav Maga class for all levels on Wednesdays from 19:30 to 21:00. After this, there will be 30 minutes to train Krav Maga independently.
