Unfortunately for Rafal in the closing seconds of the session, twisted his knee. He is normally the quiet one in the class but his banshee wailing were heard in his homeland of Portugal.
It was quite worrying, however after he was carried out and iced down, got medical attention from hospital he was sent packing as all was okay. better safe than sorry.
Level 2 sparring, which will teach aspects of low leg kickboxing as well as advanced ring craft will be open for registration on Wednesday night after the final session of the 6 week course.
The contact level will be exactly the same throughout as it was in level 1 and the emphasis is on techinque not brawn.
This class is just a sparring class NOT a fighters class and is designed for the kickboxing enthusiast who wants to step up another level and have a sparring session with the understanding that it is in a controlled environment and a class for non competitors - IMPORTANT, if anyone wishes to become a competitor please talk with your instructor.
The class starts from 6pm - 7.00 pm and takes place at Prokick HQ, Wilgar Street.
(Competitors please stick to fighter classes only`)

Something i have found myself doing since joining Prokick..
I am a bit of an internet head,so i hunt through it and ive found myself being drawn to all types of martial arts, like thai boxing, muay thai, and ufc, yet the thai boxing looks absolutly brill, and i think (correct me if im wrong ) very similar to kickboxing, but without some of the strikes, like the ones to the back of the neck etc.
im now wondering just how many variations of boxing/martial arts have been developed, through not just history of the battles of asia but also in the modern world whether for sport, protection, or indeed the ultimate infliction of it on a person.
Does anyone know what the very first art was, when did it begin and how was it developed?
its a whole world unto itself and full of intrigue.
