Comments off some of the previous course participants
" I'm a 26 year old girl that hasn't exercised for more than 5 years, so automatically I was afraid that I had thrown myself into a bigger challenge that I could handle. But I insisted because I had read somewhere that everyone could participate, even beginners and I was right, don't get me wrong it was hard, but if I had trouble with any exercise Cris or Kerry would change it so it was adjusted to my level. This helped me not only facially but also mentally, because it showed they cared and they made it hard for me still, but on my level. This is the way they teach, we started with the basics and took it up a level every time they felt we very were ready. The week went by so fast, and the lessonÂs where great! Not only did we learn the basics, but also about other relating sports, self-defence and some relaxing techniques. It may sound as a lot when you have in mind it only was a week, but I don't feel we rushed thru' anything at all, on the contrary.
To sum up, the week has definitely been the best week in Lanzarote ever and hopefully the course will continue next year, if so I will enrol again there is no doubt about that! "

At first I didnÂt want to sign up. My partner persuaded me. I was really scared of an injury, like 3 years ago training karate when I pulled my right hamstring. And I though that I would have no energy left for powerlifting. But I had and IÂm glad. The characteristic features of a true fighter spirit, is very modest and decent, down to earth people. I really felt welcome and could se a little part of me in all of you. I liked that not every training lesson was with an intensity of 100%. We all came with different physique and background. Instructions were good at all levels and easy to understand even for a bit rusty people like myself. 1½ hours of training is perfect. After 1½ hour you will have burned all energy and you will slack and canÂt concentrate right. I liked the fact that the class was not too large and there were no show-offs. It was a good thing that training was in the ring. I felt more like a fighter in these surrounding and it gave an extra kick. Master DTs training (The 1 day guest instructor) was also excellent. It was nice to have a bit of grappling and throws in the mix and tai chi as well.
We will definately come again next year.
Kind regards
