Customised fitness and self defence classes for everyone
All abilities are welcome. When it comes to quality fitness classes, you can rely on Bucks Pro Mai if you are in Amersham, Chesham or Aston Clinton. Our classes follow a similar structure including a warm up, preparatory stretch, different training drills forming the main body of the class, followed by a cool down and post workout stretch. We also include simple but effective conditioning exercises that improve muscular strength and endurance in all the major muscle groups.
Drills and exercises will be demonstrated by the instructor before you perform them
The majority of our training drills involve working with a partner however it does not matter if you come alone. We pair people up and rotate the pairs between drills during every lesson to ensure no-one is left out. All drills or exercises will be demonstrated by the instructor before you perform them. We understand that as a beginner everything is new and only so much can be remembered at one time. You will be encouraged to ask questions as many times as you need to until you feel confident.
How can I progress?
There are 9 levels or ‘Grades’ in our syllabus from beginner Grade 9 White Belt to Grade 1 – Probationary Black Belt. If you achieve full Black Belt rank, you can then train to move up through the Black Belt Grades. Progress between the grades is by way of assessments held 4 times a year. Your first assessment takes place in your class with your instructor when you are eligible – usually after about 12 lessons.
How can you make it realistic without risking injury?
Pro Mai is not a martial art geared towards competition, so we practice a form of non-contact sparring, which develops:
- Co-ordination
- Balance
- Agility
- Reaction time and speed.
There are no winners and losers in our sparring drills. In sparring you will practice your tactics, i.e. what you are going to do, where and when – without making actual contact with your partner. This approach complements our ‘Power Drills’ where we use equipment such as focus mitts and kick shields to ensure that you are able to safely practice applying your techniques at full power. From years of experience, we know that this approach can and does work.
By combining the various elements of our syllabus, we ensure that you can train safely week on week while developing effective self-defence skills.
