ENDURE was a really awesome day, i found it very tough, the hot weather being the biggest obstacle, but totally worth it.
We covered so much and it was great having all the different instructors throughout tthe day, who were all knowledgeable.

Amazing day, totally loved it, will definately be doing the next one. Was really hard in parts, but that is the idea right? To Endure!
We start the day with a meet and greet and then a gorgeous hike into the Prestbury countryside. This is a great way to ease into the day and get to meet everyone, coupled with some stunning views and scenery.
Along the way there may be a little pulse raising elements to add some challenge to the morning, these are always enjoyed by all who take part.

Jump in with the rest of the CDA lunchtime Kickboxers, instructed by Head Coach Lee Trunks.
The session will be a mix of pads, sparring and movement drills. With a big focus on basics that work, and strategies that make them work even better.
Expect a hot and sweaty session!

Our last guest instructor will be running us through the details of the Muay Thai Clinch. Looking at knees, throws and escapes.
Iain have been studying and competing in Muay Thai in London for over a decade, under Team Tieu.
This will be focused on finding the useful aspects of the clinch for not only sport, but also self defence.

Lee will be running through a specific element of the CDA Self Defence programme, either focused on multiple attackers, striking, ground work or weapons. You will be provided with any necessary kit for the session but we advise brining your own gum shield :)
We will be training concepts and gross motor skills, so no former knowledge is needed, it needs to be easily taught, understood and retained, and fun too!

We always end ENDURE with a trip into nature and a nice physical finishing session to empty the tank fully.
It will not be a race, but will need you to dig deep, and draw on the last of your reserves to push through for pride and glory!!
There is usually a beer for those up for it at the end, so well worth getting this far!
