    You Don’t Need to Be Super Strong to Throw a Powerful Punch...

    You Don’t Need to Be Super Strong to Throw a Powerful Punch Power comes from more than just muscle. What Makes a Punch Powerful?

And you don’t have to be super fit to begin. 💥 Momentum = Mass x Velocity You don’t need to be strong — you need to move with purpose. A fast, well-timed strike ....

    Disconnected in a Connected World: Why We Need Real Community More Than Ever

    We live in a world that is more connected than ever before—on the surface. With a tap of a screen, we can message friends, scroll through updates, or join online groups. Yet for many people, something deeper is missing. Real connection. Shared energy. That feeling of truly belonging. It’s no secret that technology has changed the way we live, work, and interact. But while our phones are always in hand, face-to-face connection has quietly slipped further out of reach. Many of us spend hours each day glued to screens but struggle to find time for in-person conversations. Meeting new people—or even maintaining friendships—can feel harder than it should. So where ....

Instead, try to build a routine which has at least one exercise that targets each of the following muscles. ❖ Fronts of legs (quads); ❖ Muscles for pushing (shoulders, triceps and chest); ❖ Lower back and stomach (core); ❖ Back, biceps and grip (“pull” muscles); ❖ Butt and hamstrings (back of your legs).

Pil Sung Do Google five star review - I felt a huge sense of achievement and determination

I felt a huge sense of achievement and determination

I completed a months course in Pil Sung Do with Natalie after wanting to do a martial art for years. She made me feel welcome, included and that I was able to adapt to achieve the movements necessary to achieve what was taught.

Over the four weeks, I felt a huge sense of achievement and determination to continue the training, despite having some difficulties with mobility. Natalie is clearly highly skilled in her craft and willing and patient enough to teach all levels. She is passionate about this martial art and has a wealth of knowledge to learn from.

Highly recommend trying this, no matter, you age, size or ability/inability. You will definitely feel a sense of positivity, motivation and drive to learn a powerful set of skills and abilities. - ✰ Rachel ER Neighbour ✰
