New Pressure Bench Fitness

Blogtime, we write Thursday morning, normally I have three quarters of my weekly blog on paper, if not this time. Normally I have a hard time collecting items about our dojo, a week goes by in no time, but this time I have less trouble. I want to avoid repeating articles as much as possible because I think my blog should be as up-to-date as possible. Also the pictures that adorn my blog are not always available but usually it works, I owe that to my companion René Taling who usually conjures up something beautiful out of the hat.
In the past few days I have spent every free hour on my hobby of filming, especially getting the hang of making film images with multiple cameras.
As you may know, I intend to capture the performance of our dance school in theater Gooiland on film, and photographer Michel Muis will also make a photo report.
I don't just want to film the performances, but really make something out of it that people can look back on afterwards and that requires quite a bit of preparation.
This was again the weekly introduction, this time to the items concerning our dojo.

New printing machine

We expected it earlier but it arrived this week, the 2nd printing machine.
Because it has become a bit busier at the gym, Jerry took this printing machine because of the fact that there was a need for it. Sometimes people were waiting for the printing machine to be free and knowing Jerry he wants to prevent that as much as possible, hence this beautiful 2nd copy.

Great news about our dojo

It had been known to me for a long time that an expansion of our dojo in the form of more space was coming. This week, Jerry posted the announcement of the expansion of our building on Facebook. Our downstairs neighbor Autotaalglas is moving to another location and we, dojo Burning Heart, are going to take over this vacant space. The contracts will be signed this week and things will change after the summer.
In particular, our small dojo where judo takes place will undergo a complete metamorphosis. This space will be the same size as our current gym.
It has not yet been determined what will happen to the current Autotaalglas on the ground floor, but judging by the reactions on Facebook, there are plenty of suggestions.
These reactions range from a swimming pool, which is in the pen but is still too early at the moment, to a crypto space, moving the Octagon to the list and so on.
But there is no doubt that it will be an amazing expansion! Read my newsletter every week and you will stay fully informed.

Warm Air Hand Dryer

It has been an eyesore for a long time, wasting paper from the holder hanging in the toilet room. Every day the trash can is packed with paper and not only the trash can but the floor around this bin is littered with shredded paper.
In comparison, normally the role lasts a minimum of 2 weeks, but a maximum of 2 days on our dojo. Sometimes meters are pulled from the roll to dry your hands. That's why we decided to replace this holder with a warm air dryer.
The holders in the fitness and course room will remain in place.

Hanging brackets main dojo

They have kept it up since the foundation of Burning Heart, but last Sunday they managed to break down due to wear and tear of the suspension ring.
Talk about the hanging brackets in our 'old' dojo. See attached photo. The credit that this event deserves belongs to someone I expected it from.
Don't go mentioning his name, but this person has a hefty build, although he has lost quite a few pounds lately. Almost every week he manages to destroy a bag.
This man does not hit a bag but pounds it, with the result that Ab can recover again.

Next Sunday Mass

This Sunday's Sunday Mass will be led by our youngest trainer, Ronnie Stuivenberg. Both Jerry and Abman will be in Ireland this weekend where they will be putting the flowers outside with some other companions. I would also like to mention that due to Samantha's departure on Friday, the youth lessons will be taken over by Kervan Boom. As everyone knows by now, Samantha doesn't do youth anymore because of setting up her own gym.
Starting this Friday, Kervan will take care of the lessons. When Kervan is unable to attend, the lessons are taken over by Salih or Mourad.
We wish Kervan the best of luck with his own hour of Youth.

Until the next blog
