Just a reminder of this month’s fee increase – this is £2 per month across the board.
If you pay by standing order, please make sure you have amended the amount paid to Carisma each month; if you haven’t done it in time for the February fees, please give the outstanding £2 to Massimo at the next lesson.
If you pay by chash or cheque, you can use this as an opportunity to change to the more convenient (and cheaper!) standing order option.
We would like to invite all of our members and followers to watch the Varsity 2009 Kick Boxing fights on the 20 February 2009. Nine members of Cambridge University Kickboxing Society (CUKBS), both male and female, will fight against Oxford opponents in 3 x 1.5 min rounds Light Continuous Kickboxing.
The show will be held at the Cambride Union and tickes will be available soon at their office. CUKBS members remember your termcard for your discount.
As known CARISMA is the official coach for CUKBS and this is the opportunity of seeing several CARISMA members in action so please come and support us.
There won’t be a sparring session tonight as the manor community college is closed due to snow: will you please notify anybody you know to avoid extra disruption.
Ben Hudson, long time personal friend of mine, is a top professional boxing trainer and former professional boxer with a career of 49 fights. Ha has been boxing for over 20 years and training under his guidance is a great experience for both the amount of practical skill and knowledge he manages to pass onto his trainees.
Ben agreed to run a boxing session for CARISMA, on Thurs, 15 January, at Kelsey Kerridge: this session will be based purely on boxing, including pad work, offensive and defensive strategies, so just bring your boxing gloves, hand wraps, trainers and focusing mitts for those who own a pair.
For kickboxers this is a great opportunity to maximize your own boxing skills and, for the most advanced, to refine them with input from a true expert.
The Combat Kickboxing Academy has recently announced a new Light Contact Continuous competition in Thurston (near Bury St. Edmund) for the 15 March 2009.
All members interested in participating should notify Massimo by Email, as soon as possible, indicating their weight, date of birth and number of fights to date. Each participant must be prebooked and he/she will be prematched with opponents of similar weight, ability and experience in order to maximize fairness and the quality of the competition itself.
