    EXERCISE Technique: Diaphragm Breathing

    Breathing. Seems simple right? This is a critical part of your Martial Arts training! There are many benefits of controlling your breathing not only when we train but during everyday life. Breath gives your technique explosive power. In stressful situations it can help relax nerves & lower stress levels, helping you be more calm. Diaphragm breathing also known as hara breathing (Japanese) is going to help you gain control of your breath. The goal is to fill the entire lungs from the bottom up & then to completely empty the lungs from the top down. By breathing deeply you more effectively oxygenate the blood stream this not only benefits the heart & lungs but ....

    The IMC Healthy Eating Guide for Beginners - IMC Engadine Martial Arts Centre - Karate - Kickboxing

    We know it can be tough to have a healthy diet when you’re working or parenting. Being healthy takes time, and like Martial Arts, if you put in the time, you will get better and be rewarded! You might have heard the saying – “You can’t out-train a bad diet”. So let’s make those training sessions count with a few changes to your diet plan… Avoiding Packaged Foods The first thing you need to be mindful of when it comes to healthy eating is packaged food and processed food.

    27 Feb 2020

    8 TIPS TO HELP YOUR CHILD PASSES THEIR UPCOMING GRADING AT IMC ENGADINE - Karate/Kickboxing School

    1. Positive Mindset As a parent, its fine to want your child to succeed – we want them to succeed too! However, from our experience, children don’t cope well with pressure. Make sure your encouraging them to “enjoy yourself” and “do your best”, rather than saying “try harder” or overloading them with advice. 2. Maximise Class Time The best place to be, to ensure success is in IN THE DOJO! In the lessons coming up to grading, classes will become slightly more intense to make sure IMC students are as prepared as possible. The more often you can make it to class, the better your child will perform. 3. Syllabus Our official ....

    Martial Arts
    comes with an inherent and admittedly well-earned reputation. Most people think the sport is synonymouswith combat or physical fitness which is true to some extent, however the real benefits of Martial Arts, particularly for Children
    ,
    is the psychological and social stimulation. 1. GOAL SETTING AND ACHIEVING

    5 Reasons Your Child Should Do KARATE at IMC Engadine NSW - Martial Arts Training - Engadine 2233 - Karate & Kickboxing classes!

    REASON #1: THEY WILL BECOME MORE ACTIVE This is the obvious reason kids should do martial arts in this day and age – to get active and moving. In case you haven’t noticed, we have an epidemic when it comes to our nation’s obesity problem. We’re also increasingly unfit in addition to being overweight. The problem is particularly alarming as it relates to our kids. Youth sports and physical education programs are great, but not every kid is an athlete. At IMC Engadine, we offer many benefits, but when it comes to fitness, becoming a true Martial Artist means becoming a supremely fit person. REASON #2: THEY WILL LEARN TO FIND FOCUS AND SELF-DISCIPLINE Of the ....

  • DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE ATTENTION OR LEARNING ISSUES? HERE ARE 5 WAYS MARTIAL ARTS CAN GIVE THEM THE EDGE AT IMC ENGADINE
    13 Nov 2019

    DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE ATTENTION OR LEARNING ISSUES? HERE ARE 5 WAYS MARTIAL ARTS CAN GIVE THEM THE EDGE AT IMC ENGADINE

    We frequently have doctors refer parents to IMC as a means of development for their child that may be dealing with learning and attention issues. Here are five reasons that Martial Arts makes a great match for them:
    Martial Arts focuses on individual growth, not on team competition. Many kids with learning and attention issues struggle with the pressure of having to compete with other kids. So traditional sports may not appeal to them. But at IMC, the focus is on self-improvement. There’s no “letting down the team”.
    There is an emphasis on self-control and concentration. Attention is central to martial arts. Kids must stay focused to learn and to perform. As they are ....
