Newsletter: January 2024

Greetings, everyone!

Happy New Year! We hope you had a fantastic holiday season filled with joy and relaxation. The Elemental Fitness and EKA Team is back, fully recharged, and we're diving into 2024 with some major changes – and yes, they're even more significant than the new gym area!

Classes are back in action, laser-focused on gearing you up for the March Grading. Brace yourselves for intense, purpose-driven sessions designed to elevate your skills and set the tone for a powerful year ahead.

Personal Training clients, get ready for a shock to the system! There's no easing into the year – it's straight back to hitting personal bests and relishing the satisfying soreness that follows a workout.

While there's always time for downtime and indulging in pigs in blankets, Lindor chocolates, and glasses of sherry, now is the moment to harness that energy and embark on a journey to a stronger, healthier you.

Fight Club: In the previous Fight Club session on December 9th, participants delved into strategic approaches for setting up fundamental attacks, putting their newly acquired knowledge to the test in the ring. As the grading period commenced a week later, a clear distinction emerged between those actively participating in Fight Club and those abstaining. Attendees exhibited a noticeable surge in their fight IQ, underscoring the tangible benefits of engaging in these sessions.

To optimize your experience, it's advisable to secure your spot early for upcoming sessions—don't miss out on this invaluable opportunity. The sessions serve as an excellent platform for refining your sparring skills, allowing you to showcase your prowess as a martial artist.

Mark your calendars for the next Fight Club scheduled on January 20th at 12:45! Ensure your timely reservation to continue enhancing your martial arts journey.

EKA Challenge: Ryan has prepped the class challenges. Having a penchant for acronyms here is what to expect in the January.

N - Ninja Kicks: Practice high kicks, imagining you are a ninja in training. (30 seconds)

E – Elbow plank (30 seconds)

W - Wacky Walks: Walk in silly ways, such as walking sideways or backward.

Y - Yoga Poses: Try simple yoga poses like the tree pose or downward dog. (30 seconds)

E – Elbow plank (30 seconds)

A - Animal Walks: Pretend to be different animals while walking, such as bears, frogs, or crabs. (30 seconds each)

R - Rocket Jumps: Squat down and then jump up like a rocket, reaching for the sky. (30 seconds)

Get ready for an exhilarating January filled with diverse and engaging challenges that promise to enhance your agility, strength, and creativity!

Member Mention: Acknowledging our member, Leon Sied, for his notable performance in recent sparring sessions.

Leon's sparring skills stand out with a commendable level of aggression, flawless technique, and impressive control. Despite his age, Leon's commitment to hard work is evident, prompting James to reassess his approach.

Let's extend a virtual nod to Leon for his accomplishments, appreciating his commitment to excellence. Your steady progress is certainly worth acknowledging.

Keep up the good work, Leon. We look forward to witnessing your continued achievements. Your dedication serves as a steady source of inspiration for us all. Dialing in that focus, you're setting a consistent standard for our community.

A round of applause for all those who have successfully moved up to their next belt. Your dedication and hard work truly shine through. We continue to raise the bar, pushing you to earn those belts with a sense of accomplishment and readiness for the challenges that lie ahead, especially the rigorous 4-hour First Dan Black Belt examination.

Well done to:
