  Golf is considered one of the hardest sports on earth and as soon as you swing a golf club it is easy to see why. It requires precision striking and complete control of your body, one millimeter off the sweet spot and your ball is going in the wrong direction. You are hitting the ball from a standing start, everything must be aligned, hips, shoulders and feet. Head must remain relatively still. Let’s compare it to darts, with the arrows, you have a fixed target, same distance, no wind, no atmospheric differences, no water or trees in front of you. You can see how much more difficult golf is and notwithstanding the 6000 yards you have to walk. A golf course is played over 18 holes with an average hole being around 250 yards, so just one or two bad shots can ruin an entire round.

This is a question I get quite a lot and a recent thread on a popular martial arts forum has compelled me to write a short article about it. I  want to take this opportunity to write a short article about how to take care of your leather boxing gloves , because if you do it in the right way then you will have a pair of gloves that will last you for years. Boxing gloves care is not rocket science and there are not really any hidden processes of taking care of them. Most of the time it's just down to good old common sense. A lot people ask how do I prevent the leather cracking on the gloves and reduce glove smell? The short answer is that you air the gloves out and wipe them down after each session. The derogation of boxing gloves leather happens because of the acidity contained in perspiration. Leather is a natural material and when it comes in contact with something that acidic such as sweat it will begin the breakdown. This might be sending up red flags in your mind; and you maybe

Our company as well as its snippet would be certainly incomplete in the absence of telling its formation story. This company is an epitome of the hardships faced by our founder, which made him tough and dream to make it big. The year 2010 turned his life upside down with the demise of his Aunt in the beginning of the year and a boss who was extremely cruel to his situation. The one thing which acted as his tool of sword was his training in kickboxing, which he had attained since childhood. His tough coach trained him to learn the skills of  kickboxing  in a great traditional fashion, which made him, stand out in the crowd. There also came a point when he was sitting on the fences about whether to continue with the training in kickboxing or just leave his training bag in the cupboard once and fo

Reason 1: Gyms can be boring! Let’s face it, going to the health club can be boring. Doing the same exercises, for the same reps and sets. There is no non-public attention, no direction, and, let’s be honest, gyms are designed to make you fail. Their commercial enterprise depends on it. Boredom is something you certainly won't experience with kickboxing. Every session is different. The heat-up will change, the classes change and the strategies taught will change. There are actually heaps of viable techniques, combinations, and workout routines to master. Plus your trainer is there to inform and assist you each and every step of the way. You will by no means do the identical type twice, and boredom will in no way be an issue. We assure you that each session you attend will be different.
