Hey everyone,

It's been an amazing year teaching you guys kickboxing and I've loved every moment of it despite it being a difficult year! But it's time for me to put down my reigns and pass them on. So a big welcome to Olga Mazurek and Maryam Ramzan the society's new co-presidents! Olga will also hold the role of the treasurer and was the treasurer last year (2019-20). Maryam is also the secretary and is new to the exec! They both have a passion for kickboxing so the society is in safe hands to have a smooth transition back to normal sessions!

We're still in need of a couple coaches to teach kickboxing so if you're up for the challenge then let either myself, Giorgia, Olga, or Maryam know! Being a coach is a great opportunity to increase you confidence, show off your skills, be in charge of the sessions, be a role model to the members and be part of an amazing team and society. If you ever want to know more about what coaching involves don't hesitate to get in contact with myself of Girogia 😊

I can say for myself and Giorgia that we've enjoyed every moment being on the exec this year. We have one last time to teach in our last session of the academic year tomorrow night! The link till to the tickets will be uploaded tomorrow so keep an eye out.

We hope everyone has had a great year despite the unusualness of it. Have an amazing summer and be ready to kick off 2021-22 being badass kickboxers! 💪🔥🥊

**LISTEN UP**

IN-PERSON SESSIONS ARE A GO!

To make up for not having an in-person session yesterday, we are having one **TOMORROW** (Thursday).

The session will in **Brandrigg room** in Cartmel. If you don't know where there is I can give you a link to the campus map that shows you where it is or you can message me and I'll meet you out front.

The session will be **5:30pm to 6:30pm**, but we have the room booked from 5pm to 7pm so if we go over that's fine.

**You need to book a ticket** to attend this session so that we know how many are coming. If you don't book a ticket and you turn up you won't be allowed to attend so make sure you book a ticket as we'll be asking to see these. The tickets are free and you can book yours here using this link: https://lancastersu.co.uk/groups/lukickboxing/events/indoor-session-10-06-21

They're capped at 5 so it'll be a first come first serve basis!

Please bring a mask, a water bottle and gloves (if you have them, if not we have our own you can use). Hand sanitiser and antibac spray will be available.

Have a great day and I'll see some of you tomorrow!

Hey everyone,

I hope you’ve all had a great Easter break and are ready to get back to becoming badasses!

We will be doing online sessions again this term with 3 sessions a week. 2 of the sessions are kickboxing sessions which will be done live on Tuesday’s at 6pm to 7pm, and pre-recorded/live on Thursdays from 6pm. Plus a cardio/conditioning session every Saturday which is pre-recorded and uploaded in the afternoon. If you can’t make these times then don’t worry all the videos of the sessions are available on our private group and if you are a complete beginner (which is completely fine we welcome all abilities) then all you need to do is scroll down back to October and do the first week or 2’s videos which go over the basics and you’ll catch up in no time!

Also, there’s the possibility of running in-person outdoor sessions from May 17th (if it all goes to plan) and these will be the cardio/conditioning session and we can have up to 30 people. This is the plan so far and we’ll update you guys closer to the time.

For anyone who wants to release some exam stress then come along to our sessions and I promise you, you can release that stress and get fitter at the same time! If you’re interested either search/find our private facebook group called “LUKS Members 2020-21” or drop us a message!

Have a great day!
Emily
