πŸ›‘οΈ First Aid saves lives. First Aid means that loved ones survive. ❀️

Self-defence skills aren't just about awareness and fight techniques. It's also about surviving and knowing how to deal with the aftermath of an attack. Do you know how to take care of yourself or a loved one whilst waiting for an ambulance to arrive after surviving an attack?

πŸš‘ FIRST AID COURSE | 14 September 2024 ⛑️
⏰ Time: 09:00–17:00
πŸ“ Location: Melbourne Centre, York
πŸ₯ Run by: Oscar Charlie Bespoke First Aid Training & Medical

This is a nationally recognised qualification and certification. The full-day course covers basic first aid knowledge, how to conduct a Primary Survey, initiating CPR, accessing an AED (automated external defibrillator), and dealing with trauma wounds such as catastrophic bleeding (knife or gunshot wounds).

THIS course is more hands-on than your normal (and rather dull) first aid course. It has plenty of practical training, role-play scenarios, and even a blood squirting dummy. πŸ˜‰

Curious? See you there!

What is Krav Maga self defence to you? πŸ€”
*Spartans, share your thoughts in the comments!*

βœ… It's more than fitness
βœ… Confidence
βœ… Peace of mind
βœ… Stress relief
βœ… An endless journey of self-improvement
βœ… A challenge
βœ… Rule-free zone
βœ… Mental toughness and resilience
βœ… Sanity and savagery
βœ… Pain and pleasure
βœ… Self-discipline
βœ… A whole load of fun

It's a chance to discover who you really are and what you're capable of under pressure, and create who you want to become. πŸ’ͺπŸ”₯

Haven't joined us yet? Now's your chance! πŸŽ‰ Book your trial (http://kravmaga-academy.co.uk/book-trial/), turn up, and we'll help with the rest!

See you in class, Spartans! πŸ‘Š

16/04/2024

Every class, each of our Spartans build on their mental toughness and resilience πŸ”₯

πŸ›‘οΈ Mental toughness is the ability to perform consistently even under stress and pressure.

πŸ’ͺ Mental resilience = never give up.

How does this translate into the training we provide? πŸ€”

Techniques and solutions are broken down into simple steps from the beginning of class, then build towards a stress drill.

In stress drills, YOU learn to keep calm and maintain your composure when faced with a difficult or intimidating situation. YOU gain the mental resilience to cope with challenges and adapt to adversity. To never give up even when you're exhausted. To find solutions rather than panic. This is how people begin to feel safer and stronger πŸ’―πŸ’―

Curious about how you'll fare under pressure? Find out in this week's class!

See you there, Spartans πŸ‘Š

12/03/2024

Why are our classes run with mixed genders and abilities? πŸ€”

It's impossible to predetermine when, where, and what kind of attack or threat you encounter. It may never happen at all, or it could completely blindside you. This is also true for the type of attacker you encounter.

➑️ Will they be tall or short?
➑️ Will they be younger or older?
➑️ Will they appear well-dressed or in casual attire?
➑️ Will they have experience in other martial arts or street fighting skills? Or none at all?
➑️ Will they carry weapons?
➑️ Will they emerge solo or in a group?

This is exactly why our classes are an all-inclusive mix.

By creating an environment where students can safely train with a wide variety of scenarios (heights, sizes, genders, skill levels), each Spartan can better understand the advantages or disadvantages they may experience in different circumstances, and learn to adapt quickly accordingly. πŸ’―

We welcome everyone to all our classes and can't wait to see you there! πŸ‘Š

Kick off 2024 in true Spartans Academy style! πŸ”₯πŸ’ͺ

Whether you're a seasoned Spartan or still relatively new to the academy, take a moment to reflect on your initial motivations or reasons for beginning your journey with us. Was it...
πŸ–€ for self-empowerment?
❀️ to get fitter?
πŸ–€ to gain confidence?
❀️ to try something completely new?

Do those initial reasons remain true today or have they changed? Will you approach your training differently this year, and how can we help? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

β€”β€”β€”

Haven't joined us yet? Now's the perfect time! πŸŽ‰

If you're on the fence because you don't feel ready, don't think you're fit enough, don't think you'll be good at it, believe you're too old, don't have previous experience, don't want to turn up alone, etc.

Then this is your cue to stop waiting and take action! πŸ”₯ Waiting until you feel ready is a myth as nothing happens or changes when you're in a passive state. Instead, take control! πŸ’―

Our self-defence classes are beginner friendly and accessible to all ages and levels of experience. Newcomers turn up every week year-round so you're not alone! All you need to do is book your trial (http://kravmaga-academy.co.uk/book-trial/), turn up, and that marks the start of YOUR journey to a stronger, more confident YOU this year! πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

It's time to channel that energy into making this the best year yet! πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Stay safe and we can't wait to see you in class, Spartans! πŸ‘Š
