Outdoor training courses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the nice weather ahead, we will have more opportunities to train outdoors! This will give you the chance to develop your skills in a more realistic environment. Discover how training in the fresh air is not only good for you, but also just plain fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the period of 1 July to 31 September<\/strong> we can train outside. For each lesson, it will be decided whether we will train inside or outside that day. This will depend on the weather and the topics taking place on that day. Therefore, bring both your outdoor and indoor sports shoes and an extra set of clothes during this period as you may get wet during training.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div>

Introducing: Emma de Wolff<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most of you have seen me during Krav Maga training sessions but for those who don't know me yet, I will introduce myself and tell you how I ended up in this newsletter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To make sure half the newsletter is not just about me, I have written a short piece for now. Of course, I would like to share much more with you about me and what I like to do. That's why I refer you to the longer version which you can <\/span>here<\/b><\/a> can find.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

My name is Emma and I am 20 years old. I started Krav Maga with the adults when I was just 16.\u00a0<\/span>I came in as someone who had absolutely no passion for sports and was quite insecure. I have since grown tremendously in resilience and self-confidence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maybe some of you have already noticed but recently I started doing some other things within the gym. I am working on different tasks behind the scenes of Taus Gym in which I also want to become more involved so if you have any great ideas, please let me know!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have also been given other ambitions than just training and doing exams. Namely, I am on my way to teach classes and also do the instructor training. Currently, I am running along during the Kids, Youth and Women Only Krav Maga classes in both Tilburg and Breda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am also planning to join Meet the Marines again next year. Last year I also participated and I really liked it. If you want to know more about this, please read <\/span>the blog<\/b><\/a> by about the 24H Meet the Marines Experience and who knows, maybe our team will be joined by you next year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other than that, of course, I just want to come to classes a lot and the other events that are organised. You will also see me at the upcoming members' BBQ on 23 September. I hope to see you all there too and otherwise I will see you again during classes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div>

IKMF jersey<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To provide you with suitable training clothes, we would like to take a moment to draw your attention to the IKMF uniform. During Krav Maga classes, we wear the uniform so that we can train safely with each other. Since we have a lot of physical contact and perform intensive exercises, it is important that we wear the right clothing for this as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By wearing the IKMF uniform during classes, we create unity and exude equality. Also, the uniform is made of sturdy material and therefore functional for our training sessions. We see that some members often wear loose-fitting clothing which easily tears or can even be dangerous during training sessions. Therefore, it is essential to wear the right clothing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The black cotton IKMF t-shirts have recently been replenished so if you don't already own the full uniform, we encourage you to purchase it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Feel free to ask us for advice on clothing via <\/span>contact form<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grappling<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Grappling is a dynamic martial art focusing on wrestling, grappling and control on the ground. It provides essential self-defence skills and develops your mental resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides the fact that these classes broaden your skills in ground fighting, it is also a great work-out. It requires the use of almost all muscle groups in your body and helps you build strength, endurance and flexibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Curious? View\u00a0<\/span>the Grappling page<\/b><\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These training sessions are provided by <\/span>Marcel<\/b><\/a>. He has years of Grappling experience and is ready to help train at your level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div>

Summer holiday schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We understand that many of you have plans to take a break during the holidays. During the summer months, we therefore operate a different timetable so that you can still train in full.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the summer holidays, the gym of 27 July to 9 August<\/strong> closed. The two weeks before and after there will be a modified class schedule. These can be found in the <\/span>agenda<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To make sure you still keep fit and skillful in the summer, everyone from\u00a0<\/span>10 July to 3 September<\/b>\u00a0attend all the training sessions we offer. So no matter your membership, you are welcome to try everything out!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div>

\nWith these high temperatures, it is important to cool down, including in food.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Therefore, in this newsletter, I share my green smoothie recipe, made with frozen spinach and blueberries. The advantage of frozen vegetables and fruits is that they are frozen soon after harvest. As a result, they retain much more of their vitamins and minerals than fresh produce. In addition, it is often cheaper and you can store it for longer. Time to fill the freezer!<\/p>\n
