Over 40 martial artists / HIIT /Crossfit junkies

very hard as expected, but fun... we didn't really have a break for 45 minutes after the warmup..(apart from when I grabbed the odd 10 seconds here and there..)..

I started off with the 24kg - but dropped to the 20kg towards the end, but happy tho :)
Good work mate, not bad for an old fella... [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Due to my girly hands, i can’t get my fingers round the handle of anything bigger than 16kg :(

maybe have a look online (in you're interested in buying some) - as some brands have thicker handles than others (to an extent).. as a guy at the kettlebell class doesn't like using the reebok ones we have, but prefers the more generic ones we have.. :) ebay have loads... and I don't have massive hands either.. :D
 
41 in April. Black belts in Tae Kwon Do and Kickboxing.

I have to ask, but what is the purpose of having belts in Kickboxing? I assume you don't wear gis or doboks like in Judo, Karate, TKD, which require a belt to keep them shut.
 
I think they are worn for decoration/ranking rather than function.

Just a grading system and roughly denote student ability. Correct, no gis, just shiny trousers and t-shirts :D
 
And to be honest, i’ve had enough of the strictness of traditional martial arts.

I had that for circa 12 years, and that was enough. The bullshit politics didn’t help.
 
I assume it is a very western thing to keep the paying public happy?

My club doesn’t force people to grade. Plenty of people don’t.
