🔥STANDSTRONG FUNDRASING EVENT🔥

Proudly sponsored by Alex Cantle - Moving you

We are just shy of two weeks before two of our coaching team take on the Goggins challenge of running 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours.

Our aim is to raise £2000 to instal an AED (automated external defibrillator) outside the gym for public access - this is a life saving piece of equipment and increases the chances of survival from sudden cardiac arrest.

What does women’s kickboxing mean to us?

💫A space for women to connect and be present in their bodies

💫To step into a space and undo old stories and beliefs

💫 To reclaim power and learn to find their voice

💫 To feel empowered to deal with conflict and uncomfortable situations

💫 the f**k yeah moments when you achieve something you didn’t think you could do

It’s not just about the actual techniques, it’s about the feelings and changes that come alongside the training.

We are just over 3 weeks out from our fundraising event happening at the Academy.

2 of our coaches will be running 4 miles, every 4 hours for 48 hours to raise money for an AED to be installled externally for full public use.

This is such an important piece of kit, so we really would love to see as many people as possible getting involved!

How can you help?

1. Donate a prize for the tombola happening Saturday 23rd

2. Book a space on our pay what you can workshops happening September 24th

3. Donate towards the event here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/standstrongAED?utm_term=J7yky88YM

This is not for the Academy, this is for the community.

So let's see what we can achieve together : )

What can I do if someone attacks me?

There are lots of answers and it will depend on what situation you are facing.

Reality is, if someone doesn’t have a long range weapon, then the only way they can physically hurt you is by being close, so where possible we will always advise you to keep distance to help you keep safe ‼️

Whether this is by running🏃‍♀️

Or

By using our long range striking suck as kicks 🦵

This will give you a fighting chance of staying safe in a dangerous scenario

Check out this awesome warrior woman and that lovely front kick she is demonstrating ❤️😍

When it comes to our physical and emotional wellbeing - we don't have to hold back.

We don't have to believe the words used against us to stay small and harm us

We can stand strong and fight back

I notice when talking to people often they aren't sure where to start with setting their boundaries 👇

🤔Not sure where they stand or what they need

🤪Over apologise and waffle around the topic

😟 Back down when people don't agree or "accept" their boundaries

Swipe through to our tips on how to set firm and clear boundaries in your life and improve your emotional and physical wellbeing today

For any of my people pleasers out there....I love you dearly but I am here to remind you that it isn't your job to please everyone😘

Just a reminder that having boundaries is fundamental to our emotional well-being 💪🔥❤️

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱?

I have told myself so many stories about what I wasn't capable of doing over my time.

How I am not like "those people"

How I don't know enough

How I am not smart enough

All these crazy LIES I had drilled into my mind and told myself over and over that for a long time I actually believed it 🥺

Do you know StandStrong, my gym, started as words written on a bit of paper 4 years ago. That was it. A crazy idea I believed would never happen at the time, because who the f was I to even dream that big 😱

What did I know about running a business and who would want to come learn from me...

Fast forward 4 years and a Pandemic and those words "have my own gym in Bristol" is now a reality.

I don't say this to be big headed. Or to show you how great I am. I tell you this, because I believe that we hold ourselves back from a lot of big potentional due to self limiting beliefs we hold about ourselves.

Had I kept those beliefs of not being capable, then we would not being serving all our members and helping them to change their lives.

I would be sat wondering what could have been rather than experiencing what is.

I would not have stepped into my own power to deliver my visions and make the changes I want to see in this world.

Was it an easy journey? Heck No. Was it worth it? Hell Yes💞

I invite you to sit and ask yourself what beliefs am I holding that are stopping me from being the f awesome human I was put on earth to be ❤️
