Meenal Prasad—Team leader Legal Services

 

I tend to try a lot of different things and usually lose interest in them pretty quickly and move on to new projects. This hasn’t happened with kickboxing though.  I’ve been training with the VUW Kickboxing club for two and a half years now and I still enjoy every training session. 

 

The club has some fantastic trainers who put in a lot of time and effort in everyone’s training.  They are very inspirational and they teach you to go beyond what you think is your limit.  I love learning about the technical side of kickboxing (eg all the different processes involved in throwing a good punch, knee or kick) and find that both Mark and Jonny are excellent at explaining all the different steps involved.  You can definitely see that they are very passionate about the sport and this comes across in the way they teach.

 

I’ve found that kickboxing is both a mental and physical sport and I’m continuously having to push myself all the time.  My fitness has gone up since I started and I’m a lot stronger now as well.  Plus I’m definitely liking the increase in my speed and power.

 

I would definitely recommend training with the VUW club as it caters for all levels, weather you’re interested in fighting or just increasing your fitness and strength.  The club also has a fantastic team culture and are very supportive of each other.
