The programme has been carefully developed to give instructors the skills to teach a kickboxing style class that will be challenging and fun for their participants. By studying basic techniques and identifying different options, various class formats will be identified to cater for all skill levels at different clubs. Attention will be paid to correct technique and the modifications necessary to make the workouts realistic.

High intensity, effective sessions – either in a circuit or an ETM type format. The two-day module covers:

•Basic punching and kicking techniques that are suitable for health related exercise

•Benefits and suitability of Cardio Kickbox classes

•Safe design and formats for an effective Cardio Kickbox session

•Adapting and updating teaching skills

•Health and safety issues associated with teaching Cardio Kickbox classes

INSTRUCTORS – DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION ACT

Although sport & leisure providers have always had a social & moral responsibility to include people with disabilities in their programmes, the gradual introduction of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) since 1995, means that sport and leisure providers including governing body and clubs now have a clear legal responsibility to fully include people with disabilities in facilities & programmes.

What would you do if a person with a disability arrived to participate in your class?
Under the DDA you might be breaking the law if you turn them away.
Would you know how to cope with this situation?
Fitness Northern Ireland are organising a disability awareness workshop.
