Women juggle a number of roles in everyday life which can no doubt be really demanding. Add to that, the constant pressure to look good and to stay fit whether it is at the workplace or at a party because no woman wants to be told that she has cellulite or that she has put on weight. What\u2019s interesting to note is that, both men and women workout for different reasons and men tend to stick to their routines more faithfully because of their competitive nature. So why should women workout in the first place?<\/p>\n

The most important aspect about any workout is the number of health benefits it gives a woman. Even going for a walk can help immensely because it de-stresses the body naturally. A regular workout routine is also proven to increase one\u2019s life expectancy and boost overall health. It also improves one\u2019s immunity, increases energy levels and enhances self confidence as well. Regular physical activity also helps to reduce the risk of cancer, heart diseases and osteoporosis which is very common among women. Over the years, infertility among women has been on the rise and one of the reasons attributed to it is the fast paced life and lack of exercise which is again very common across age-groups. Adopting a healthy lifestyle ensures that such serious problems do not impact one\u2019s happiness.<\/p>\n

Women also tend to have more fat stored in their bodies as compared to men and develop muscles at a slower rate. That\u2019s another reason why a workout regime that focuses on strengthening the entire body is often recommended for women looking to lose weight faster. BTC\u2019s Taekwondo classes give you a workout that not only helps in shaping up your body but which also enhances flexibility and helps you become stronger as well. Not to forget, it also teaches you a set of valuable self-defence techniques which could even save your life. Now, who said that workouts were boring?<\/p>\n

Of course then I was in primary school and martial arts was mainly for fun, but over time I became more serious about my training. In 1992 I started teaching, and by 1998 I had opened my own club. Over the next few years the club continued to grow opening in more locations and adding more classes at the old locations. These were of course old school and church halls, and teaching children of all levels and ages together, and adults of all levels together. As the club continued to grow I started to feel that there had to be a better way to teach - you would never put year one and year seven students in the same class at school, so why did we do it teaching martial arts. Of course you wouldn't expect them to learn the same things either. I also felt that adults weren't getting all they could from the classes in a one size fits all format. In addition to this, I wanted to take a more holistic approach to training, looking at all aspects of physical and mental health. In 2002 I decided the way forward was a full-time facility that could integrate all these aspects of health, and that would allow classes to be split by age and experience level. It took two years and a couple of false starts to find the right location, and in late 2004 work started on BTC. In 2011 we purchased and custom fitted our own building. Since then the centre has continued to go from strength to strength and developed a solid reputation as a leader in the martial arts and sports industry. We have also managed to maintain a friendly family orientated and social atmosphere within the club. My personal background was originally in martial arts, although I formally studied Science at QUT. Over the years I broadened both my martial arts knowledge and general knowledge of health and well being. My aim is to help every student achieve their personal goals and exceed their every expectation. I believe the enthusiasm and desire for constant and never ending improvement that I bring to my personal life and to every class is infectious, and will ultimately help every student in achieving their personal goal. Further, the holistic approach I take to developing a person as a whole, and the martial arts I teach as a whole, has led to the development of a very unique, innovative, and modern approach to a centuries old tradition. Our classes include the best aspects of body mechanics, sports psychology, boxing, yoga, tai chi, pilates, diet & nutrition and much more. All of this has led to the creation of a fun, safe, effective, and easy to learn system of teaching and style of martial art. Of course much of what has been achieved over the past few years is thanks to our great team, and the hundreds of loyal and passionate members of all of BTC's activities.
