How do you like to spend your time, just after waking up in the morning and before you really begin your day? Most of us prefer to make ourselves a cup of aromatic coffee, read the newspaper or check e-mails and mentally prepare ourselves for the long day that lies ahead (or just chase around after the kids!). Does the sound of going for a morning jog, before you get dressed for work, appeal to you? The very thought of putting on our jogging shoes when we could do with a few extra minutes of sleep may seem too big an effort, but with a bit of determination and a regular routine, you\u2019ll begin to look forward to your early morning jogs. Need more convincing? Here are a few of the benefits you\u2019ll experience:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jogging in the outdoors with the wind blowing on your face is a great perk-me-up and will refresh you within minutes (especially this time of year!). Unlike the caffeine in a cup of coffee, this refreshed feeling will last you the whole day.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s a great way to burn fat and calories. Many people with regular jobs complain that they don\u2019t get time to work out but jogging is a great way to lose weight faster and to become slimmer. Plus, you\u2019ll have more reasons to smile when you see your toned abdomen.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jogging helps to give your body a fantastic workout inside out. It will not only strengthen your muscles and increase bone density, but also give you a lean and well toned figure. So, if you aren\u2019t into body building, but still want to look fit, then jogging is the answer.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As with any cardiovascular activity, jogging helps to keep your heart and circulatory system in top shape. In fact, you\u2019ll find a new glow in your skin, which probably wasn\u2019t there before!<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s best to increase the intensity and duration of your jogging sessions once it becomes a part of your routine. You\u2019ll find huge improvements in your stamina and body metabolism.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You\u2019ll find that your energy levels will remain high all day, and you\u2019ll be motivated to give your best in every task you undertake. \u00a0You will feel much more alert, sharper and take better decisions too.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you usually have trouble falling asleep at night, you\u2019ll find that jogging in the morning helps you sleep better every day. Nothing like a few hours of sound sleep to give your body and mind the rest it needs.<\/p>\n

Sure, waking up early in the morning and getting started may feel like a punishment at first, but once you begin to feel healthier and better about yourself, you\u2019ll begin to enjoy each session. Take along your i-pod as company to catch up on your favourite tunes and don\u2019t forget your bottle of water either!<\/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.
