Fun and games back at the first inter club sparring session since before the summer holidays - and Ryley’s first sparring since then too! Fair to say he was knackered but had a ball. Some bad habits that had been worked on pre summer holidays are back, can’t wait to get back to private training. #scottishkickboxing #scottishtaekwondo #iliveibreatheitrainikick #ikickmartialarts
The most awesome day yesterday at the @wkcscotland Open at Braehead Arena yesterday. My body and voice are broken from running around the arena stands to see matches and yelling constantly! It was a different experience as parents and spectators weren’t allowed on the fight floor with the kids so we had to let go and trust in the amazing @ikickmartialarts coaches to care for them in between fights and during without being as close, it was actually a wonderful thing as the team stuck together, cared for each other and kept each other going even with many hours between matches and events during the long day. I couldn’t be prouder of all of them, they were so beautifully behaved and performed with such heart especially as for many including Ryley it was their first kickboxing event and a massive one to boot with over 600 competitors. Incredible to see. Ryley came away with Silver in points fighting and Bronze in Continuous and I couldnt be prouder. Team I-Kick gained 20 medals amongst a team of 13. Incredible work. #wkcscotland #braeheadarena #kickboxingkids #soproud #bestteam #ikickmartialarts #martialartskids #scottishmartialarts
Post squads training for sparring, we slow down for pattern training. Ryley is learning Won-Yo. His most complex pattern yet, he will need to rely on muscle memory for this one. Repetition repetition repetition. @ikickmartialarts #wonyo #taekwondoitfkids #itftaekwondo #iliveibreatheitrainikick #ikickmartialarts
So proud. Lots of hard work but double green belt achieved in both kickboxing and taekwondo. He was exhausted and not as sharp as usual after a whole weekend at Cub camp. And that’s a shark temporary tattoo on his face 🤪 but, he did himself proud. Now on to the details and the little things that make a beginner learn, even after over 5 years learning. #iliveibreatheitrainikick #ikickmartialarts #tkdkids #kickboxingkids #taekwondokids
One year since he started squad training. He was tiny, almost underweight for his age, infinitely shyer, far, far less confident, scared of “teenagers” In fact half scared of his own shadow. One year later, he’s won 11 medals, most of his favourite people in the world are teenagers, he is a healthy weight and so strong. He is so much stronger mentally, so much happier, so much more fulfilled, less agitated and anxious and just doing so well. What a difference a year makes. #adhdtkd #putyouradhdkidinmartialarts #adhdsuccess #taekwondokids #iliveibreatheitrainikick #ikickmartialarts

I-Kick Saturdays! Six hours training today (with lunch of course) Ryley is finally getting some aggression about his sparring. So proud of him. Nunchucks are a new thing at the club! Much fun had with those for the coaches 😂 playing online chess with Ms Ashley and PT with Mr Walker to round off the day. Took him for a new Funko Pop cos he deserved it after a strong workout day. #iliveibreatheitrainikick #ikickmartialarts #taekwondokids #martialartskids #proud

Ryley’s pal and training partner got the most awesome martial arts gym built in his garage - and after the two of them finished their lesson this afternoon training continued. Nothing beats watching them work together, trust each other, move with each other and improve. I couldn’t be prouder #tkdkids #ikick #ikickmartialarts #trainingpartnersforlife
R is in full training mode over the next four weeks for his first senior belt grading. 4.5 hours of group classes per week plus private lessons with his training partner Arran every week. He has some well needed positive motivational mat chat from his head instructor this past weekend and is ready to smash it. Im so proud of him and so happy he has something he loves and people within it who have supported him so well for well over five years now. #martialartsmum #ikickmartialarts #taekwondokids #kickboxingkids

When I started the club back in 2013, one thing I always had in my mind was not just to teach and develop great students but also to grow and develop future instructors. I’m so proud of the coaching team we have in place right now. We have a good mix of experience and personalities which allows us to successfully cater to our members needs. The bond between myself and the team is strong and we all work well together to get done what needs to be done - especially under current circumstances. Here’s hoping we can continue to grow our team in the future and build @ikickmartialarts to be a strong, thriving club in the local community for many years to come. 🧡😃
Training Tip 💡 It’s important to ask questions as by doing so you get the advice and support that you need in order to learn and develop better. Never feel silly asking something. You don’t know what you don’t know, so there’s only one way to learn and find out and that is to ask! Your Instructors and Coaches are there to help you become the best version of yourself and get you to where you want to be. One of the ways they can assist with that process is by answering any questions that you may have. A good coach will always make time for questions. So don’t be shy, ask and extract as much knowledge as you can from your Instructor. The more you know, the more you grow. 🧠💪🏻
#ikickweekendchallenge Each weekend throughout lockdown we’re putting up a new “challenge” for our members and followers to try. We want to help inspire you to keep active during lockdown. 😃🙌🏻 There’s lots of things that we can’t control in life but one thing that we can control is our actions towards our health and what we choose to do with our time. This week’s challenge is to try and perform x100 Squats. Let us know if you gave it a go by tagging us in your posts or stories on social media; Facebook, Instagram & Twitter. 📱
Training Tip 💡 Visualisation is one element that we should all be paying more attention to within our training. Mental training is just as important as the physical. If you’re looking to take your game to the next level then mental rehearsal is vital. Imagining and playing out different scenarios in your head - for example when it comes to sparring - will help you to bring those thoughts to reality. How? Because you’ve already “experienced” ‘xyz’ in your mind. As a result, this helps to improve your fight IQ and also helps you manage your emotions better when you find yourself in that situation. So make time to practice visualisation. Like with everything, the more you practice it, the better you’ll get at it and the more you’ll reap the benefits. 🧠💭
We’re ready for another week of Online training. Keep sticking at it. Progress stops for nothing (not even COVID-19).👌🏻
Team @ikickmartialarts enjoyed the @soloveyteam online seminar. Thank you Solovey family for a great session. 🥊🙏🏼

Training Tip 💡 One thing that is important in order to achieve success at anything in life is having the ability to persevere. It doesn’t matter how “talented” you are, what shape or size you are, what gender or race you are or even where you come from. Success isn’t selective by any of these means. Success, comes to those who don’t give up, to those who are willing to keep their ‘eyes on the prize’ and push forwards even when things are tough. Implement relentless perseverance with whatever it is you’re doing and you’ll start to succeed at a lot more things in life. Apply the same mindset to your training and your progress will go through the roof! 🙌🏻
A little inspo’ for ya! 🥋😜
Training tip. 💡 To turn quicker when performing a spinning kick of any kind, you have to focus on your footwork. 🌪 👣 Take the combination in this video as an example... Once the students have performed the first kick (side kick) with their lead leg, that foot is then immediately placed facing 180 degrees away from the target that they just kicked (in this case the black bag). By doing this, it allows their hips and shoulders to turn naturally so that their back is now facing the target. This stops the need to pivot on that foot whilst you’re then trying to perform the second kick (back kick) and thus speeds up the kick. It also helps to mitigate the risk of the students losing their balance and allows them to not only turn faster but also kick with more power from a more stable position. 👌🏻
“We rise by lifting others.” 🙌🏻
Wow, what a first week back after the festive holidays! That’s also the first week of the new lockdown complete too and our members have absolutely smashed it! 😆👊🏻 It’s been so good getting back to training and back in to a proper routine again. Between holidays and lockdowns we’ve most likely got very used to basically living in our pyjamas and eating chocolate for “breaklunch”. 🙄🤭 Our number one piece of advice at the moment is to try and get some structure in your life. We all cope better with some form of routine as it helps to keep us productive. When we have something to concentrate on, it takes our mind off of the negatives and allows us to focus on something positive that’s going to be beneficial to us (e.g. training in Martial Arts helps to improve your physical and mental health) rather than something that could be detrimental to us (e.g. sitting watching the news and worrying about things in the world that you can’t control). At @ikickmartialarts, we have a full timetable of online sessions running that you could use as a starting point or guide to help you plan out your week and build a routine whilst in lockdown. 📒👍🏻 #ikickmartialarts #ikickonlineacademy #martialarts #martialartstraining #tkd #taekwondo #kickboxing #iliveibreatheitrainikick

Its been one heck of a year eh? 🤪 2020 hasn’t exactly gone to plan and frustratingly 2021 looks like it’s going to be much of the same, at least to begin with anyway. However, our Martial Arts training teaches us how to persevere and show indomitable spirit when things get tough. Our students, their families and our team have certainly demonstrated both of these qualities in abundance this year and we’re very proud of them for doing so. 🙌🏻 Thank you again to all of our members who managed to stand by us and support the club through these uncertain times. It’s been so humbling and we’re incredibly grateful as you know. 🙏🏻 Here’s hoping that very soon we can all get back to a more normal way of life and get back in the gym permanently to train together again as a club. We’d like to wish all of our members and followers a very Happy New Year! Keep safe, keep training and we’ll see you all on the other side with new goals and ready to tackle whatever life throws at us! 😉🧡🥋 #ikickmartialarts #ikickonlineacademy #newyear #2020 #2021 #NYE #HappyNewYear #club #glasgow #eastren #barrhead #taekwondo #tkd #kickboxing #iliveibreatheitrainikick

I would like to thank all of our members who have been incredibly loyal to myself and the club throughout this tough and uncertain year. Without a doubt, had we not had that support, @ikickmartialarts would not still be here right now. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you. It means the world to me and the team. 🙏🏻 I also want to thank my team; Christine (my Mum), Mr Brian (my Dad), Ashley (my fiancée), Mr Walker, Ross & Nathan for their patience with me and their hard work at the club. This has been the hardest year of business for us since we opened 7 years ago, with many tough decisions made and having to constantly adapt to the circumstances and obstacles that have been put in our way. However, one decision that I was firm with from the outset was doing whatever I could to keep the team in their jobs, as I couldn’t do this without them. 🙌🏻 This year has put a lot of things in to perspective for me. Aside from the COVID-19 pandemic we’ve had other major personal events that we’ve had to deal with this year too and I’m proud to have held it together (for the most part) for the team, my family and my students. For me, being a coach is about more than just teaching students to punch and kick or get fit. It’s about being a leader and a role model in life. I’m always working on educating and improving myself to be the best version of me that I can be. I always try to lead by example and I want everyone to know that no matter how bad or scary things may seem, you can get through it - I’m living proof of that. I don’t know what lies ahead in 2021 but I do know that if there’s any positives to take away from 2020 it’s practicing gratitude. I am now forever more grateful for all of the little things in life and don’t take anything for granted. Every day is a blessing. I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. We’ll send out info’ over the holidays about classes and what’s happening re: the next lockdown, but for now, rest up, stay safe, be strong and look after your nearest and dearest. 🎄🎅🏻 Ross (Mr Penman) 🧡 #ikickmartialarts #ikickonlineacademy #martialarts #martialartslifestyle #life #2020 #merrychristmas #grateful #iliveibreatheitrainikick

🖤 Meet our Members 🧡 Cameron and Daniel have been training with us for 5+ years each! They are both currently Blue Belt Red tags ranks in TaeKwon-Do and absolutely love the club. 😁 For them both, @ikickmartialarts has not only allowed them to; develop new skills, challenge themselves to discover new limits and meet new friends, but it has also given them structure, stability and a place of sanctuary, where they are surrounded with other like-minded people on a similar journey to themselves. We have watched them grow from young boys in to youths so far and will continue to do so as we play a part in their development as they mature in to confident, strong young men through Martial Arts training. Keep up the awesome effort boys! We love having you both at the club and helping you to believe in yourselves as you unleash your potential. 🌟 #ikickmartialarts #ikickonlineacademy #friends #club #meetourmembers #boys #training #team #family #proud #spotlight #eastren #glasgow #barrhead #ikick #tkd #taekwondo #kickboxing #iliveibreatheitrainikick

Training Tip 💡 What is one of the hardest parts of training? Adhering to it. Our biggest tip on how to stick to your training is to surround yourself with other like-minded people. People who have similar goals or are on a similar journey to yourself. Why? Because peer-to-peer support is powerful! Training with your peers or a coach is far more fun and motivating than going to the gym by yourself. Yes, there is a time and a place for self-practice, and it is necessary, but if you’re struggling to stay focused and keep on track then we highly recommend that you get involved in a club or hire a trainer to help ignite the fire in your belly and hold you more accountable to yourself and your training. 🔥🙌🏻 #ikickmartialarts #ikickonlineacademy #martialarts #martialartslifestyle #martialartstraining #team #peersupport #friends #family #club #life #glasgow #eastren #barrhead #tkd #taekwondo #kickboxing #iliveibreatheitrainikick

Training Tip 💡 When aiming to improve your side splits, be sure to not just focus on increasing your flexibility but also the strength in your muscles required to perform the splits stretch. This will allow you to reduce the risk of injury and see much better results because the muscles will be stronger in a stretched position. One of the ways you can work on this is by utilising your own body weight. If possible, try and work on getting in to the splits stretch without putting your hands down or leaning your body forwards. This will help to utilise your body weight effectively and engage all the necessary muscles required, thus helping you to make better progress. 👍🏻 Note - this is quite an advanced exercise, so whilst you’re building up to this level try and use a chair or something to lean on a little to allow you to keep your balance and your body upright. #ikickmartialarts #ikickonlineacademy #martialarts #stretching #splits #boxsplits #stretch #flexibility #strength #exercise #training #train #results #progress #flexible #flexibleguys #ninja #tkd #taekwondo #kickboxing #iliveibreatheitrainikick
