THE POWER OF A MASSAGE We all know that getting a massage is good for you, but how often do we spend that little bit of money on ourselves. The average massage costs about $80 an hour, a lot less than most of us would spend on the average Friday or Saturday night out, yet we probably only get 1 or 2 massages a year. Until recently I admit that was the same. I always classed a massage as a luxury rather than a necessity. That was until about 4 months ago when I started getting them every 3 weeks. The change I have noticed in my body is nothing short of miraculous. When you train a lot, especially using the fast twitch muscle fibres as in boxing and kickboxing, you knot up all your muscle fibres. Stretching afterwards helps to straighten them back out but lactic acid still gets trapped in there and causes the muscles to harden. This limits the range of motion in the limbs and the power those muscles can produce. Regular massage breaks down all the hardened muscle and realises the full potential of your body. It allows more blood to flow through the muscles and therefore more oxygen. It also allows longer leaner muscles to develop and better separation of the muscle fibres. What does that mean? Well to put it simply not only will you notice your posture improve and the benefits of how your body feels, you will also look better. So I urge you all to stop thinking of massages as luxuries and start thinking of them as necessities, not only will you look and feel better you will be able to train harder and longer. If you don't believe me just try it, get a good sports massage every 3 weeks for about 3 months and I promise you'll be amazed by the results. CONGRATULATIONS K-Box would like to offer huge congratulations to Nick and Zac Wyatt-Smith and Marc Hassan, who all recently competed in two martial arts tournaments including the World Cup. - Considering this was their first competition everyone performed incredibly well. In fact Zac came 2nd in the World Cup and 1st in his other competition. If anyone is interested in joining these guys and competing speak to either Anton or Jeremy about how to get involved. GRADING The last grading of the year is on sat 29th Nov, if you wish to grade then put your name down at reception. Remember if you want to start sparring then you must have graded at least once. CHRISTMAS DRINKS To celebrate another fantastic year of training here at K-Box Studios we will be going out for drinks on Sat 6th December at the newly renovated Burdekin Hotel on Bourke Street - 7.30pm.
