Summer is the perfect time to continue your hobbies and sports, advance your skills, or simply learn something new. Kids and teens don’t have to escape the city heat. Instead of long lazy days of April and May ahead, they could spend their summer days at the gym and get into activities that are a reflection of their own unique talents.
MetroLifestyle Fitness Center & Spa staged its Summer Classes at NCCC Mall of Davao – Activity Area on March 5, 2011, with a continuous show of talents and skills that tickles the creative child in each one of us.
Deftac Ribiero Jiujitsu’s Head Instructor, Paolo Miguel Javier gave a brief orientation on mixed martial arts and jiu-jitsu. Deftac Ribiero Jiu-jitsu is represented by Jiu-jitsu students DA Elmore, Fidel Ballesteros and Julia MacIntosh. They gave a demonstration on basic self-defense moves showing how the principles of leverage can work to your advantage whether you’re big and strong or, a male or female with smaller frame.
Training Schedules for teens and adults are open every Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu with Gi from 8pm to 10 pm. No-Gi Grappling and Wrestling on Thursday and Friday from 8pm to 10pm, while Open Mats training every Saturday at 7pm to 9pm. Enroll with an annual fee of P600 and a monthly fee of Php1,500.00. Upgrade jiu-jitsu class with use of gym facilities at Php1,850/month, or package rate of P4,750 valid for 3 months. Shell-out P350.00 only, if you wish to try it on a per session basis.
Bushido Karate and Muaythai followed to showcase their Summer Program for Kids and Teens. Martial Arts Head Instructor Nell Jone Astudillo further explained that Bushido Karate is a good foundation for kids to encourage physical fitness, discipline, self-defense and character building. In Muaythai, they will learn the application of self-defense moves in actual sparring without undergoing the rigorous belting requirements.
Kids and parents as well, have to be willing to take risks as they learn new skills. As soon as kids recognize an obstacle, they can think of many different solutions and try to find a way around, rather than giving up. Either way of learning is winning in life’s battle.
Summer classes start on April 4 to May 21, 2011 with morning classes from 10 am to 11:30 am; and afternoon classes from 3:30 pm to 5:00pm. Rates for the whole summer program is at Php2,500/class or avail of Combo Package at Php4,000 only. A registration fee of P600 includes a shirt uniform with new design for Bushido Karate or Muaythai.
Mommies in black and red attire proved their prowess in MetroStrike, which dominated the afternoon program. MetroStrike is MetroLifestyle’s group fitness exercise which incorporates basic aerobics exercise and martial arts movements into an effective self-defense, non-combat fitness craze. The one-hour group exercise was led by Group Exercise Instructors Nell Jone Astudillo and Bonn Sarabia. Catch the group exercise for FREE at 7pm, every Tuesday and Thursday at NCCC Mall of Davao.
Adding up to the hype and power of the afternoon’s presentation is the special hip-hop number by Rhythmic Illusion. As Davao’s crowd cheered on for this group who recently got the most coveted ‘yes votes’ of Pilipinas Got Talent, MetroLifestyle is proud to offer its hip-hop and other dance classes.
