Goya-Ra-Ru martial arts
- general lesson content
Introduction
This text gives a brief introduction to the main components typically covered during our martial arts lessons. It is by no means an exhaustive description of the variety of physical and mental techniques available through continued martial arts training.
Warm up, Stretching and Conditioning
At the start of each lesson a short warm up is undertaken followed by stretching exercises. This is primarily to help prepare the body for the main training session as well as improving cardio-vascular fitness, muscle tone, strength, stamina and flexibility.
Basic Defence Techniques
These are the building blocks of our martial art and consist primarily of powerful strikes and defensive actions. Holds, locks, throws and 'self-defence' techniques may also be practiced. These may be done free-in-air, against targets (e.g. focus pads & target shields) or with partners. Basic techniques are often combined into set sequences which progress as students become more advanced.
Freestyle Martial Arts
Freestyle (sparring) could be described as a controlled spontaneous interchange of actions and reactions between two or more people. During all types of freestyle, an emphasis is placed on safety and as a result, even very minor injuries are extremely rare in our martial arts classes.
Hard strikes are directed towards punch bags and target pads, not each other!
