Dan Edwards wins in Thailand

Posted by  | Categories: News

on the 17th of July Dan Edwards was in the Super Muay Thai 80kg 4man tournament out in Thailand.

Dan’s first fight in the tournament was against Alexandr Orsini of France who he knocked out in the second via a right kick to the head.

Dan went on to win the whole tournament by beating Thai opponent Thaneelek. Due to the fights being televised live in Thailand the stream to final was cut short as they had run out of air time. I’m hoping the final will be uploaded in it’s entirety at some point but for now…here is Dan’s semi final fight….enjoy.

Super Muay Thai 80kg Tournament: Dan Edwards vs… by Khun_Yun

K-Star Legacy's Josh Page wins.

Posted by  | Categories: News

On the 16th July Josh Page entered The Contender Cup 70kg tournament at the O2 Arena in London.

The Contender Cup is a tournament where only people who have had less than 10 fights can enter. Depending on how many people register you could potentially have 3 fights in one day to become The Contender Cup champion for that year.

Josh usually fights at 64kg but due to the on the day weigh procedure we opted to enter the 70kg, just so that he wanted weakened at all by any weight loss.

The favourites to win the 70kg tournament was between Josh and another fighter called Colin Chu from the famous Team Tieu gym on London.

When we arrived at the O2 we were told that due to the high standard of both these guys, that they would be taken out of the tournament and made to have a stand alone fight against each other. This was because is was deemed unfair as they would have tore through the other lads and just ended up fighting each other anyway. The idea of these tournament is to build experience for the future generation.

The video below is a great technical fight between to future stars.

New circuit class starting at K-Star Legacy.

Posted by  | Categories: News

We at K-Star Legacy are always looking for new ways to improve our members experiences during their training.

On Saturday 6th August we will be starting a brand new circuit class, giving our members another alternative and fun way to get fit, get toned or lose weight.

Here are 5 benefits to circuit training:

1. Get Maximum Results in Minimum Time
Unless fitness is your job, nobody has hours a day to spend in the gym. Circuit training is the perfect workout for the time-crunched fitness fiend. You can set up as many or as few stations as you like (Get a quick tutorial here) and then continue through the circuit until your time runs out. You can fit it in effective, total-body workout whether you have 15 minutes or an hour.

2. Challenge Your Whole Body
Ever found yourself just wandering around the gym floor and winging your workout? (It’s ok, we’ve all done it!) By incorporating individual “stations” as part of a whole-body circuit, you’re guaranteed to hit every major–and minor–muscle group.

3. Mix Cardio and Strength Training
You love cardio but know you should do weights too (or vice versa), and forcing yourself to do an entire workout you don’t enjoy can be tedious (and much easier to skip). Circuit training offers the best of both worlds by allowing you to combine intervals of high-intensity cardio with heavy weight lifting for a comprehensive–and seriously kick-butt–workout.

4. Send Your Metabolism Soaring
Thanks to the many benefits of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and heavy weight lifting, circuit training kicks your fat-burning furnace into high gear. You’ll torch more calories in 20 minutes than you would in an entire hour on the elliptical reading a magazine. Plus, the afterburn effect will have you torching calories for up to 48 hours after your workout ends.

5. Beat Gym Boredom
Because circuit training is such a flexible format, the options in how you set up your workout are limitless. Whether you like to stick to one routine for a while to measure your progress or prefer mixing it up every time you go to the gym, having a plan will make you more confident and efficient.

See you all on the 6th August
