Epic Gym New Classes for Summer!

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

THESE CLASSES HAVE BEEN MOVED TO A NEW VENUE

 

Summer is here and to celebrate we’re launching more classes and a brand new schedule that brings you more variety, more flexibility, and fits in with your lifestyle.

 
New 1.00pm, 5.30pm and 8.30pm Classes…
 
For the afternoon athletes we’ll have 5.30pm Epic‐Fit classes every weekday
 
For the twilight fighters we’ll offer 8.30pm Epic‐Fit classes, Tuesdays and Thursdays. And for the daytime warriors, we have 1.00pm Epic‐Fit classes every weekday.
 
We’ll also have an extended K‐1 Kickboxing open training session for all on Fridays at 7.30pm.
 
 
Time Shift…
 
Did you know we’re open Saturday mornings at 10am?
 
In addition, we’re shifting our other evening classes by 30 minutes, so there’s no need to rush.  That means we’ll
 
have new 6.30pm and 7.30pm classes. Check out the schedule below for the variety of classes and times available to you.
 
 
More Class…
 
Our classes still bring you the best in fitness, conditioning, and sport kick boxing:
 
Epic‐Fit is functional, high intensity, total body training based on the fitness and strength drills used by top combat sports athletes. This class will be familiar to our existing box‐fit students and you’ll agree with Vanity Fair when they said “the result is a rocking body.”
 
Rapid Arnis - Beginners to Intermediate classes can enjoy this spectacular Filipino martial arts. This is also know as Kali and Escrima. Rapid Arnis covers several areas of combat, namely: solo baston (single stick), doble baston (double stick), espada y daga (sword and knife), baraw (knife), mano mano (empty hands), largo baston (5′ long stick) and Dumog (grappling).
 
K‐1 Kickboxing – Beginners to Intermediate classes let you become part of one of the most exhilarating sports in the world. This class will take you from absolute novice, teach you the basics of modern kickboxing, and then lead you on the path through your initial belts. Get that sense of achievement that comes from knowing you’re getting better…
 
K‐1 Kickboxing – Intermediate to Advanced ‐ It’s time to learn real K‐1 Kickboxing. Epic K‐1 Kickboxing classes are designed to make you highly proficient in this combat sport. And if you want, our world‐class trainers can raise you to competition standard.  Intermediate students will broaden their skills, learn a wide range of techniques and enjoy practicing with their peers. More advanced students will excel, and be able to compete, in the sport.

THE FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS
"The spirit of the Southern Philippines epitomises the unconquerable spirit of the Philippine Islands. Men of all creeds and colours have scrambled for a foothold in the Southern Philippines. Their bones still lie there, and only the spirit of these intrepid men remains. The Spaniards had not envisioned and could not perceive the courage they were to meet from the defenders of the land."
