Ladies Self Defense & MMA Seminar by Coach Antonio Battistessa

Hola fit and sexy readers! KinabaluFighters gonna held a LADIES SELF-DEFENSE Seminar.

Do spread this news around especially those free on 4th & 5th August. Your girlfriends, mother, grandma, sisters, relatives, wife (wives, kof*), ex (yea if you're still cool with them), you yourself perhaps and any ladies you cared for.

Below is a long overdue post, as I had my first MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) seminar with Coach Antonio from Italy.

Using boxing gloves to "throw" at your partner. What's this for?

 In this seminar, I learn alot of practical things about MMA especially when it comes to real self-defense situations.

It actually makes you realize how accurate and strength you put in your punches.

The take down.

In white rash guard is Azrin, the assistant of the day.

 Antonio taught ways on how to take down on a bigger guy, even with this petite frame and lower strength.

Ground and pound

Serious stuff.

I have to admit it was awkward at first when I did my first ground training with AJ Pyro and BorneoTribalSquad during an MMA training earlier this year.

Then, I became fascinated after trying out CrazyMonkeyDefense and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu at Studio23 by Albert and Reuben.

Yep, alot of body contacts. But I'm glad our gym is clean everyone trains hard and seriously. Like, seriously.

Ladies, as for the seminar - fret not. I'll be there assisting Antonio as a demo "dummy" so even there's extra participant I can fill in the odd numbers as well =)

So if you're interested in the gym or existing member who wants to extend your membership, you know the drill.

PUSH Fitness Class is BACK! Now at Kinabalu Fighters!

  After a few months of on and off classes, am SO GLAD to have PUSH class up and running again!

Thanks Leanna photography and team. Skin looks so smooth here lulz.

 I never thought (or maybe subconsciously I did. Thank you, Jna's thoughts, muaks muaks muaks.) that PUSH would have expand in collaboration with Kinabalu Fighters Martial Art & Fitness (Kinabalu Fighters Club, then, fight club that I train Muay Thai with).

Besides PUSH Classes, also will teaching Ladies Kickboxing, Kids Muay Thai and Relief & Recovery Stretch. All officially up and running by next week!

Ladies, what are you waiting for? No guys, no worries on touchy touchy!

Personal Training with Jna

A little introduction regarding "personal training" by yours truly, especially to those who wants to experience the results, success and happiness they get from fitness.

Heidi Klum and her personal trainer, David Kirsch.

Personal training is a service by a trainer to a client who are in need for guidance, motivation, and support towards their fitness (and wellness) goals.

Yea yea yea, you don't want tl;dr. Okay, I'm won't go essay writing for this post (but when I do, I'd make sure its legit) but I'll just briefly let you know what's happening during the sessions.

Liz, one of my lovely client ;) she had knee surgery before and it ain't stopping her to train.

I always start with the first session with a brief talk, regarding client's goals, whether they are general or specific goals e.g. aesthetics, fitness, gain knowledge, lifestyle improvement, etc. Then,I will conduct a fit test on all clients, to check on their fitness level so I can proceed with customizing programs for each client to meet their goals.

Everyone deserves to be fit. This is the reason why I train in the first place.

Specialties:

·        Toning & Shaping

·        Healthy weight loss

·        Lean build program for custom for both men and women

·        Cardio/ Circuit/ Interval/ Core Stability/ Plyometrics/ HIIT

·        Athletic & Sports specific - conditioning

·        Low Impact for joint care

·        Lifestyle Improvement

Jna, why become a trainer?

Tuesday, I had my first trainer session at Core Fitness and today the second along with two new PT recruits, Konea & Li.  You must be thinking "Wait, what? CORE FITNESS?!?!"

Okay, no surprises. Next month (year), officially will become a Personal Trainer at Core.

I'm so damn excited, I don't know why. Perhaps, its the passion that kicks in.

So as to relate to the title for today, Sam (Core's Managing Director) throw a question for us to ask OURSELVES - Why become a trainer?

This is my answer: I want to train people because everyone deserves to be fit.

It has now, become my life purpose.

 Very grateful started off as a PUSH Instructor at CFF and moving on to grow more at Core to help build the fitness industry in KK.

No worries, PUSH classes will still be available at CFF during my offdays at Core, no matter how busy I will be (I will still be teaching part-time 1 subject at Pine, my current job as a lecturer, which I left full-time to go into fitness). Lecturing is awesome, I figure since at my current age I should explore more on other kinds of passion, which obviously fitness plays a major role here.

Alright PUSH class for this weekend!
