Punching Bag and Endurance Training

Quite a week behind us where a few things happened at dojo Burning Heart.

Both Saturday and partly Sunday can boast a growing number of athletes attending the bag and fitness training. Clap on the fire involved the number of athletes who indulged in bagging during the Sunday class taught by Mister Dojo, Jerry de Jong himself.

Virtually all available pockets were filled with enthusiastic members of Burning Heart.

Currently by far the best attended class at our dojo. Partly due to the large number of members at this popular class hour, accelerated action has been taken to increase the number of suspension brackets to the maximum. Our house contractor, Daniel van der Kamp, ensured last Thursday that our dojo houses the impressive number of 51 brackets. In other words, 102 people can train on the bags at the same time. Currently, another bunch of new bags are on order and will be delivered soon.

Logging into the fitness cum crossfight room is slowly but surely moving in the desired direction. However, too many people still have trouble opening the door. Therefore, once again, we ask you to wait 2 seconds after scanning your pass to open the door. Our new system needs some time to check the pass online. To clarify things, an intercom has been placed where our staff can pass on any instructions via our camera system. I would also like to request that when visiting the upper floor with more than one person, each person scan separately, it happens too often that the first person scans and others run after them without checking in with their provided pass. If for some reason there is no pass please report it to the front desk so we can manually log in. We absolutely want to know who is inside.

Very soon we will start with so-called instruction videos. It is the intention that with a frequency of once a week a short and clear video will be placed on our site with examples of how and what the correct action is for certain parts of a sport.

Responsible for these instructional videos is our trainers guild.

This allows one to see e.g. the proper way to place a liver strike and the like. Attention is also paid to practicing certain fitness equipment. Plenty of exercise material to make this a successful part of our gym. Think of it as a bonus to what Burning Heart has to offer. Featured are Kickboxing, Boxing, MMA, Judo, Fitness and Crossfight videos.

Personally make these instructional videos and do my best to make them look professional and slick.

Until my next blog,
