Impact Self Defence and Training Centre

Everyone here at Impact wants to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Have a great holiday and stay safe. We’ll be back at the Flinders Child and Family Centre on the 30th January 2024

A MASSIVE Congratulations 🌟 to all these guys who passed their grading over the weekend. You all worked so hard to get where you are today and we can’t be more proud of you all. Well done 👍 🥊 🥋

💪👧👦 You can help build your child's self-esteem and confidence with this easy daily practice.

We've mentioned this tip here before, but it’s worth reminding everyone again just how powerful affirmations can be. ✨

Encouraging your child to say positive affirmations to themselves, such as "I am kind" or "Yes I Can!" has a HUGE impact on their self-esteem.

Our recommendation is to use “we” phrases and do this exercise with them! 👪

We know that rest is essential to our physical and mental health, but it can be easy to neglect sleep (or have trouble winding down) in the pursuit of our goals.

Getting good sleep has amazing benefits like boosting our immune system, lowering risk of heart disease, reducing brain fog and stress, and improving our mood!

Let's check in with ourselves: What do you do to unwind when you have trouble sleeping? How does restorative sleep impact your fitness and personal goals?

Share your thoughts and tips on how you prioritize restful nights. 😴💪🌜

(Some of us could use your hack!! 😂)

🥋👨‍👧‍👦 The true value of being a parent doesn’t lie in material possessions, but in the love and connection between parent and child.

Martial Arts shows us how to cultivate a deep connection with our children by showing up for our kids and being present in the moment. 🌱

Let the teachings of martial arts be a way for you to build a strong bond with your child and create memories that will last a lifetime. 🌟

We know that a healthy diet is essential to our physical and mental health, but it can be easy to neglect nutritious meals when life gets busy.

Let's check in with ourselves, parents! How do you stay motivated to eat healthy when you’re crunched for time? Do you have any tips that keep your family on track with healthy eating habits?

Share your favorite tricks for making nutritious meals and snacks fun, delicious, and easy! 🍎🥦

Get up, and shake it out y’all!

Don't forget to stretch! 🧘‍♂️

Taking a few minutes to stretch periodically during your workday can reduce neck and back pain. Stretching is especially important before a workout to prevent injury, improve flexibility, and reduce soreness. 💪

Focus on the areas that tend to feel tight, like your hips, hamstrings, and shoulders. Your body will thank you! 🙏

🧑‍🤝 Be the example you wish to see in your child.

As parents, we have a responsibility to be good role models for our children. By showing them the value of hard work, discipline, and respect through our own actions, we can inspire them to become their best selves. 🥋

One great way to reinforce these values is by enrolling your child in martial arts. Our instructors at Impact Self Defence and Training Centre are positive and supportive examples in our community who instill these important values in their students, both on and off the mat. 🥊

Together, let's inspire the next generation to be confident, respectful, and disciplined individuals. Encourage your child to follow in your footsteps and become the best version of themselves. 🤝

🔥🏋️‍♀️ Don't aim for perfection, focus on consistent effort.

Transformation and change come from the daily dedication to making progress towards your goals. 🌟

Whether it's in fitness, martial arts, or personal growth, every small step forward counts. 💪

Remember, it's not about being flawless, it's about showing up and putting in the work. And that's where true growth and success lies. 🙌

☀️ A positive morning routine can help set the stage for a successful day ahead.

The little things we do to feel prepared make a big impact on our energy, on and off the mat! 🥊

Take a moment to reflect on your morning patterns: What habits and activities energize you, motivate you, or bring you a sense of calm?

Let’s start a list of habits that help us start our day with intention and purpose. 🧘‍♀️🍵 ⬇️

🧹 🤝 What’s a task in your routine that needs teamwork or accountability?

Whether it's meal prep or sticking to a training schedule 😨, enlist a friend or fellow Impact Self Defence and Training Centre member to join you and hold each other accountable!

With a little extra help and support, you can tackle challenges and achieve your goals more efficiently and effectively. Chances are, they could use a buddy to get motivated too. ⚡

It’s always more fun to work together! 🤜🏼🤛🏼 That’s a win-win situation!

☀️ A positive morning routine can help set the stage for a successful day ahead.

The little things we do to feel prepared make a big impact on our success, AND our kids' success too! 🥊

What’s your morning routine, and how does it impact your day as a parent?

Let’s start a list of habits that help us start our day with intention and purpose. ☀️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

🍵 Happy International Tea Day! 🍵

Fuel up for your next martial arts practice with a cup of tea. Martial artists around the world have long used tea to focus their minds and boost their energy. 🥋🧘

So raise a cup of your favorite blend and train like a warrior today! 🙌

☕🥋 Tea and martial arts share a common emphasis on meditation and mindfulness.

Martial Arts, just like tea, requires us to slow down, breathe deeply, and focus on the present moment.

🌿 Tea is more than just a beverage - it's a symbol of mindfulness and self-care.

Through the practice of martial arts, we can cultivate a deeper appreciation for the simple things in life, like a warm cup of tea. Together, tea and martial arts can help us find balance and harmony in our busy lives.

Share with us your go-to brain food– whether it's reading a book, solving puzzles, or trying out a new skill! 📚🧩💡

April Grading 2023. Thank you to La-Shaye for capturing these great moments of our students during their grading. Their hard work, determination, focus and sweat went into everything they had, and they definitely did. They all passed their gradings with flying colours, greens, blues, purples and even browns. The look on their faces says its all "YES, WE DID IT"!!

💪Want to combat sore muscles? Use a foam roller to release tension in your muscles and speed up recovery time!

(Don’t have one at home? Use a tennis ball. 🎾)

Simply roll out your sore spots for a few minutes each day to keep your body feeling strong and flexible. When you feel a particularly sore spot, breathe deep and work on that spot as long as you tolerate it.

*Pro-Tip: Do this after a hot bath with Epsom salts for maximum relaxation! 🛁
