Good first night of the Escrima Club at London Fields Fitness Studio!

It was a great first training session at the London Fields Fitness Studio. Being the first night we were not sure what to expect or if anyone would even turn up. We were very happy that 5 people decided to give Escrima a try. Considering this was the first time the students had picked up a stick or even heard of the name Escrima, it was a success with lots of good feedback. Everyone worked very hard on basic strikes and movement and showed that even in a short time, Escrima is something that can be grasped relatively quickly.

Over the next few weeks we will be continuing drills to improve coordination (Katie i hope you are reading this :) ) and we will get them feet moving.

Looking forward to next week!

First session of The Escrima Club, this Wednesday 23rd March 2011!

This Wednesday is the first session of The Escrima Club at London Fields Fitness Studio www.lovelondonfitness.com in London Fields, Hackney. We are very pleased to be running The Escrima Club from London Fields Fitness Studio, it is a great location and the studio is run by people who have a passion for fitness and put the personal development of their clients at the forefront of everything they do. With the support of London Fields Fitness Studio we feel that we can deliver an exciting and specialised martial art to a part of London which has little or nothing at all in the way of Escrima. 

Violent Crime in London

 

The above stats are from www.met.police.uk/crimefigures and emphasise the levels of violent crime in London.  It's happening on our doorsteps and goes to show that its something that we can't escape from.  One of the benefits with Escrima Concepts and learning self defence is awareness.  So before being a victim of crime, an awareness of people, your surroundings and your own abilities can save you.
