We are already in the last period of the year. That means we are entering times of reflection as well as renewal. This year has challenged us and you like never before, which is why it is extra important to reflect on our progress and areas for improvement. We are happy to see that our members are in good health and join us in making the gym a safe environment. We greatly appreciate that you are adhering to the measures so well and thinking with us for appropriate solutions. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n

CURRENT SITUATION<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thanks to the loyalty and solidarity of all of you, we can still say that Taus Gym is a safe and hygienic environment. We are still allowed to continue facilitating classes and are still closely following the advice and measures of RIVM and the government.<\/p>\n

Following the press conference on 13 October 2020, we have had to take new measures. We urge you to this page<\/a> read through so that you know what these measures mean for you. Only together do we stand strong!<\/p>\n

FREE T-SHIRT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To thank members for their cooperation and solidarity towards Taus Gym, we would like to gift you a one-of-a-kind Taus Gym t-shirt. Most members have already received these. Don't own one yet, or have you recently registered? Then request one from your instructor and we'll make sure you can take one home too (while stocks last)!<\/p>\n

ALL INFORMATION ON CURRICULUM TRAINING, PRE-TESTS AND EXAMS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We would love to help you become the best version of yourself. During classes, we offer you as wide a range of exercises as possible, but sometimes you just need to zoom in and dot the \u201ci's\u201d. That's why we will offer curriculum training from 2021. During this training, we will cover all the techniques you need to know at your level and help you execute them perfectly.<\/p>\n

We will also have 3 pre-tests per year for all age groups from now on. Want more information on curriculum training, pre-tests and official exams? Then take a look at our new exam page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

GROUND FIGHT COURSE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The broader your skillset, the better you can defend yourself. That's why we will soon be offering the Ground Fight course! During this course, you will broaden your knowledge and skills regarding ground fighting. Techniques we will practice include submissions, positive takeovers, dirty fighting, ground versus standing and escape from submissions.<\/p>\n

Ground fighting classes will be offered in the form of a course. The course will be a series of 10 classes, each class on the first Sunday of the month (except August and December). The course will continue only if the situation, in connection with COVID, permits.<\/p>\n

More information on the Ground Fight course can be found at this page<\/a>. If you want to register for the course right away, you can do so via this link.<\/a><\/p>\n

WOMEN ONLY COURSE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Note: Due to the new measures from the RIVM, we have chosen to reschedule the Women Only course to 17 January. This course will take place every Sunday (09:30am to 10:30am) until 14 March. Had you already paid for the next Women Only course? Then we guarantee you a place in the course from 17 January. Would you rather have your registration fee refunded anyway? Then let us know by sending us a message via the contact page.<\/p>\n

This course focuses on specific situations women may encounter in everyday life. Women often face violence in a different way than men. Think, for example, of sexual harassment on the street or while going out. Here, it is important to recognise undesirable behaviour at an early stage. We also work on developing greater self-confidence and a confident attitude. In a course of 9 lessons, we offer you the total picture of self-defence!<\/p>\n

We are also offering new trial class dates, namely on Sunday 3 January and Sunday 10 January at 09:30 am to 10:30 am. Participants who register before 10 January will receive a discount on the course registration fee. Check this page for more information or to register yourself! Please note: The course and taster classes will only take place when the current situation, related to COVID, allows.<\/p>\n

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS DRINK<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The temperatures are dropping again, the trees are turning orange and slowly we are living towards the end of the year again. In a time that is all about togetherness, gratitude and sociability, we always enjoy spending time with you, our loyal members. After many successful Christmas drinks, we are looking forward to this again this year!<\/p>\n

The meeting will, of course, be completely \u201ccorona-proof\u201d \u00e1nd traditional. The Christmas drink will take place on Friday 11 December from 20:00h. The contribution is \u20ac10 per member. We hope to see you then at Taus Gym (Professor Romeinstraat 11a, Tilburg)! Register for the drink via our contact page<\/a>. The get-together can only take place if the current situation, in connection with COVID, allows it. We will follow these developments closely and let you know if anything changes!<\/p>\n

NEW LESSONS & SURVEY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We noticed a need for more space and opportunities for training. We are currently exploring the possibilities and are curious to know what the needs are.<\/p>\n

Currently, we see opportunities to offer the following classes:<\/p>\n
