so today I’m talking about kickboxing
revelation I mean revolution people ask
or what is kickboxing people ask what is
it about you know is it a real big
kickboxing when you listen to the music
and then you just follow along is it
whether it’s kickboxing Fitness or you
as tree have equipment on and then you
sp you know punch the equipment and
partner up or is it actually for elite
athletes only it’s actually all of the
above and I think today we have gone
past there just talking about domino
effect just you know where does meet
level where does watching me as a sport
and I think in this recent years we have
seen how key boxing has really impacted
not just athletes not just people like
you and me but really just beyond that
okay you understand what I mean ice we
carry on okay so that’s all right so how
an idea was birth my love but you don’t
really know how we started but go with
it so you always remember the day you
have the idea that a hot woman and at
first we were actually starting out just
as a mobile company so mobile company
means we had no physical space about all
we started out at Hilton hotel I don’t
know if you know where that is okay
nobody really knew knew about us just
doing classes small groups anyway moves
on to actually having a shared studio we
will call sharing a space where I shared
a chiropractor so you can imagine like
daytime you know car park I was doing
his business night will come in and then
there after that came about active life
center which was bought in January 2014
this was actually really a big turning
point for us as a business owner I think
during that time I was just 23 I’m 28
now it was a huge huge step to take we
had to pay lots of money to get
everything started but I mean to this
day was just about don’t worry like it
still here and after beyond that we have
gone to be actually moving on as the
Association so we actually have a
kickboxing Federation at Singapore so
that’s why we move on to so many other
things as well not just a physical
business great way all right so this is
just a little story about myself as you
can see over here I’ve been in sports
actually all my life so I was a former
sprint
I did hundred 200 4×1 longer than
Stern’s have I taught the national
records I have I used to be a classical
belly dancer as well for 10 over years
and as you can see the picture over
there I just wanted to show how myself
was a domino effect as well and this was
taken in 2011 when I’m still doing
fashion blogging I was doing fashion
blogging professionally for two years so
working with big brands going out there
mingling with the fashion people but I
never really actually had a good time as
you know fashion you know that’s that
stereotype so hey guess what size was I
in debt pence make a guess
okay actually I mean yeah maybe we’ll
say oh no my friends well actually I was
a UK trover UK 14 during that time so it
was a change for me as well though you
know I was featured in magazines are
having write-ups but it wasn’t really
something that fulfilled me so as myself
I think before you impact others you
need to also know that you are dominant
change yourself alright so this is one
of the people that we actually really
get along with so her name is Miss Lin
Chu I’m not sure if you’ve seen her
before if you’ve been in Singapore for a
very long time you would then remember
77th Street that’s where you get all
your punk rock Apparel’s
they used to be at five’s Plaza so she’s
been around for a long time and anybody
like Korean barbecue okay good
she owns the Korean barbecue I’m King
junior have you heard of that okay
that’s one at seoul high as well this
one at scape yeah so I mean no no
discounts if you go down and say my name
okay but we’re just introducing to you
so she has been a change in the industry
especially impacting all the young
people as well I still consider myself
young so being young I think when we are
speaking to her she has really taught us
a lot and a domino effect is not just
stopping at yourself not just you know
take that few steps forward but I think
really just learning from elders as well
people that have been there before you I
think in young generation now it’s
harder to reinvent learned because
sometimes we don’t want to learn from
people that walk the road before us and
I think it’s so important because you
know they are inside the wisdom
in grief so I always say if you don’t
dig their brains or you can’t get
anything I mean you don’t get the money
but you can if you don’t dig their
brains for wisdom then I think that’s
really a pity okay so I do kickboxing
people say how do I do it or how can
kickboxing Medina actually we have done
personal training small group training
group class we’ve done in schools as
well so one of the Domino effects that I
would say that we actually went to issue
in secondary school I’m not sure I’ve
known about them they were the news for
a bit because they had really like bad
bad kids but fall okay no no pun
intended but for there we actually
helped to unite the whole school and we
had about 120 plus students doing
kickboxing as a whole and we set the
Singapore Book of Records for the
biggest group of kickboxing group doing
at one time alright and after we went to
corporate wellness and also the
Association so other stuff that we have
as well as the demographics so this is
the wire you will see that that will go
beyond the domino effect able bodies
just like you and me in general public
students and outs the one I really want
to highlight is a special population so
in the recent years a lot of people
don’t know about this but we have
actually really impacted the people at
Parkinson Society Singapore I’m not sure
if you watch this video called steady
boxing okay this is in the States so
it’s a group Parkinson people going in
doing kickboxing and you know for
Parkinson’s is the breakdown of the
neuro system in the brain so we actually
had a really hard time breaking into the
scene for helping Parkinson people
because it’s not the people that need
convincing you know those people had
Parkinson’s the doctors the physios and
after one and a half years we were
actually really brick true and had a
domino effect where we actually really
helped a lot of Parkinson people go
through you know their illness and
actually give them confidence through
kickboxing stroke association even
people with special needs and we do if
people that have depression coming back
from cancer and so those are the things
that actually we don’t we don’t really
do
able-body there’s actually lots more to
there as well and of course not
forgetting that you need in high
performance alright so this is just a
view that we took a few years ago
it’s a typical class of what we do so
that means you can see what’s about okay
I’m not sure this sound okay nevermind
okay as you see our talk so over here is
a typical class where actually people do
partner work so not necessarily it needs
to have fun okay I used that blonde hair
yeah I have that kinda yeah it’s a warm
up and then the partner ah they do a lot
of punches whether it’s power whether
it’s P and we go to go through
conditioning then I’ll get me to watch a
video of us
okay
okay the answer is it’s all females okay
so we actually used to have a male and
female target audience by no recent
years we realized that females really
needed that platform to really just do
kickboxing safely you know punch me
goalie well you know you don’t have to
answer for you know punching or kicking
and I think it really went beyond the
domino effect because a lot of women
actually feel more empowered when they
can really feel strong some people have
come to us when they are through their
breakups some people have come to us
through a lot of painful times in your
season I realized that with that I mean
I’m not excluding men okay a man still
to come to us or kickboxing but they do
personal training but I think majority
of population in Singapore are women and
we really need to give them a space we
need these have a platform to really
just be themselves be who they are and I
think this has really helped the
community a lot are in the terms of the
people that we deal with okay so before
I play this video I was talking you of
Hocking sense right so they have been
training with us for about one and a
half years close to two years they do
exactly what we do in class so some
people will say no I don’t think they
can do kickboxing you know they’re just
doing it with the music but these people
are actually holding the equipment
they’re actually putting on the boxing
gloves and all we do is just teach them
and we actually just stand and count and
they are doing all the work and they
have improved I should tremendously over
the years
so this just a short video of what
okay as you can see over here do they
look like they have Parkinson’s no right
oh when we first start out with them
they could UK they could barely remember
any movements they could barely move
their hands they could barely even move
their licks so means even for them to
just do a knee it was really difficult
for them because I took them about one
or two minutes to actually register and
you know we have people that were
actually freeze up in class and they
can’t do anymore kickboxing so over the
years when we actually have trained them
it really gave them that confidence
after many months of training so they
could move like that and now we actually
go we have a few of us at the braver
ones we go out there to a community
event and we actually do kickboxing
performances for other people as well to
educate people about Parkinson’s so this
is what I mean by going beyond that
domino effect I was just the general
public anymore because I don’t think
it’s just about us I think it’s just so
many other people in our community that
don’t have a voice because nobody would
speak up for them so it’s really a
privilege and honor that we know we have
been able to work with people like that
okay so this is just a client testimony
I think no point that I say you know I
gained weight I lost weight but I think
from people that have really experienced
keep boxing as well okay so for hush she
said that she started that kickboxing
craze it’s a lady okay I’ll call sandy
because she doesn’t want to be named so
sandy actually took kickboxing to
de-stress you know gradually push her
push her body he wasn’t me I realized
that she was mentally she can be
stronger to deal with day-to-day life
and he has been really a journey for her
okay so this is the picture so she used
to be the one on this side of picture
okay now she is on K my left all right
so for her she’s actually a mom of two
all right she has a busy job she knows
she works a government job but she still
makes time for exercise and I think
empowering yourselves is that that’s
where you can be an influence or change
to empower others as well I know the
simple saying goes you always want to
love other people right but I think the
trick is that
learn love yourself first then that’s
where the love can push onto other
people and you can really impact lives
as well okay
this lady here my name is Amanda I think
you have seen that here she’s pretty I
gave all the ladies roles on Valentine’s
Day so for our ladies right we actually
really make sure that they feel loved so
on Valentine’s Day we always make sure
that every single of our clients get a
rose okay so I think even their husbands
don’t even give them but you know it’s
okay we will give them a rose okay to
know that they are appreciated and loved
so for her you may think that she
actually has you know a typical story or
whatnot but for her she’s someone that
has been very brief you know she has a
long-distance relationship with her then
fiance now husband but during the whole
journey of doing exercise she actually
suffered a miscarriage prior I think
earlier in this year but I think that
didn’t stop her from really exercising
that didn’t stop her you know from doing
so many other things and I think
exercise is one thing or even kickboxing
in the methodist one thing that really
has helped her law and you know the good
don’t be so sad because the good news is
you know she actually conceived again
about three months three months after
and now she treats with me regularly all
right doing gym exercises and she’s a
little scared to do kickboxing but you
know it can be done so you can see the
people over here they have so much hope
so much inspiration they just go off and
go on I think the domino effect really
has to go out there and as we continue
impact lives continue to impact the
people around us I think we really need
to walk the talk if I was someone that
you know was skinny my whole life I
don’t think I want to stand here and
talk about it because I don’t think I
understand what people will go through
whether it’s meals whether it’s females
I think everyone has a journey and I
think you need to really as all the
speakers I’ve shared today you really
need to be the influence or change you
really need to allow people to speak
their minds because every person has a
story so I just want to leave off
everybody with just two quotes when I
put this together I kept thinking of
what hope so I think we need to really
learn you know like the first point I
say we must accept a disappointment but
I know but we must never lose
and I think it’s very important for that
because if we keep I know like one
person have shared you know the robotics
you feel and then you learn and I think
that’s true as a business person that’s
not mean that have not felt before in
our exercise journey with our clients
not that our clients have not felt
before I think if you have hope that’s
the strongest thing that you can ever
have and I think humanity really needs
to as well and the next one is optimism
is the faith at least achievement
nothing that can be done without hope
and confidence and I think Domino
effects we need just starts from having
that hope having that confidence and we
just really glad that you know where we
have been doing kickboxing for so many
years we started with humble beginnings
but now just really going out there and
we actually teach the young the old our
sharing with one person our youngest
clients actually seven about oldest
client is 63 62 now we have clients that
are in their sixties and it can do
burpees like non-stop so I think the
domino effect really just goes out there
just beyond so many other things that we
I just hope that you know over here even
though if you forget everything that I
said I just remembered that hope is
really important and you should always treasure that thank you
revelation I mean revolution people ask
or what is kickboxing people ask what is
it about you know is it a real big
