The Gillmeister takes up ML Admin Role

2011-03-01T00:57:00.000-08:00

Hi , Im Andy Gill, aka the Gillmeister, I have recently taken up the position of administrator for Martial Lifestyle.
A little bit about me.......
For those who don't know im Sharons (much) bigger brother.

I started martial arts when I was 10 alongside Sharon and we both trained together for quite a few years, I unfortunately was not so dedicated as Sharon and I stopped training when I was 16, whilst Sharon carried on and has gone on to achieve all the great things that she has achieved.
I train again today, although just for fitness and pleasure.

I think the founding of Martial Lifestyle between Andy Cleeves and Sharon was truly a great event, they have hugh amounts of experience and knowledge between them, alongside the passion to turn Martial Lifestyle into the Southwest's greatest Martial Arts names.

I have seen Martial Lifestyle grow from day one, into the massive success it is today, and I am extremely proud to be associated with everyone who is a member of the club.

As Administrator we aim to give everyone a great experience from Martial Lifestyle, bringing you the latest news updates, competition news and results, and the fun activities we try and run as often as possible at the club.

Enough about me for now, keep an eye out for the Gillmeister :-)
see ya all soon

NO BLOGGING FOR A WHILE!

2010-12-02T02:06:00.000-08:00

I haven't dissapeared! Just been very busy refurbishing the gym so havent been around the computer as much. Never the less as you know I dont do excuses so I should have checked in with some updates as lots of exciting things have been going on.

Firstly I hope everyone is enjoying the new look of the gym with a more comfortable reception area and slicker training room?

Unfortunately I am sure you have already heard during sessions that we have had to change the Xmas Interclub and Grading around so please check date changes on the website.

We set some training plans for our top fighters at training last night which should help make improvements through into the new year ready for our first comp in Watford and then on to Athens early Feb. I am really excited about both our Adults and kids team for next year as the kids are flying and improving every week and the adults seem to have regroupped and very enthusiatic for the new year.

I hope everyone will make our end of year presentations and xmas parties including the adult activity day which should be a scream!

thats it for now but I will continue to make extra updates from now on!

BORROWING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN LESSONS

2010-11-15T04:24:00.000-08:00

Dear Student/Parent

We have decided to make some changes to our equipment policy at the Martial Lifestyle gym. We currently provide protective equipment for students who are starting out to borrow during lessons in order to take part in sparring.

It has recently been reinforced by our governing body and specialised martial arts management company that there are a growing number of health risks associated to sharing equipment in lessons. At martial lifestyle our student’s safety and also facility hygiene are treated with high regard. Gym equipment is maintained and cleaned to a very high standard and we feel that it is no longer practical to pass protective equipment between students during lessons.

For these reasons students will no longer have access to borrowed gloves, head guards and feet pads during lessons from December 2010. Therefore students will be expected to purchase and use their own protective equipment if they wish to take part in sparring.

We currently offer a very price competitive range for those of you that don’t already have equipment. If you do wish to purchase equipment from an external supplier please check the suitability of the product with your instructor before investing.

We trust that you will view this decision as a sensible change and appreciate our ongoing efforts to improve our facilities, classes, programs, policies and instructors.

If you have any queries regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact us.

I have just returned from a few days in the Cotswolds with my fiance and friends.

I am now locked in on work, training and diet all the way to christmas! Dream, Believe, Repeat!
