Bodycombat 61 Q3 Workshop in Melbourne!

The Melbourne Q3 workshop coincides with my trip there, so, I didn't waste any opportunity to attend it! Was really a good experience and the people I met was awesome!

The workshop was held in Virgin Active Bourke St in downtown Melbourne CBD, and it is easily one of the most impressive gyms I've ever been to. I had to quietly take the photos because picture taking is prohibited in this "highly private" gym (wtf).

This is Nathan Jones!

This is Ann-Marie!

 Instructors from Malaysia (that's me!), Perth and Melbourne

BODYCOMBAT 61 Review

My thoughts on Bodycombat 61, after yesterday's Kuala Lumpur LESMILLS Quarter 3 Super Workshop..

In general - this is one EPIC EVIL release! Trust me, in all 17 releases since my training, this is THE monster.. Release focus is heavily on SPEED..

Track 1a - Upper Body : Wrecking Ball 4:19mins
Uplifting music.. Already there's capoeira moves in warm-up, WHAT?! But this is one song you definitely can sing to! There's plenty of jabs and uppercuts and hooks. Let's not forget plenty of legs workout in upper body warm-up!

Track 1b - Lower Body: Beautiful Monster 5:10mins
From upper body, we straight go into the lower body with plenty of squats! OUCH! Core-activation, get lower, get lower with shoot lunge.. and plenty of it.. 16 back kicks to work the bumba.. and goes into a kick kata combo, transitioning straight into - Muay Thai.. It is in warm up, yes, you're right! Muay Thai knee is here to stay! The song is so upbeat and before you know it, your legs will scream...

Track 2 - Combat 1 : Shot Me Down 4:02mins
Yeah, this is where your legs will continue its scream.. Balance balance balance! Slowwww... then into speed! This is no joke.. When the kicks are not done, there's the knee-side kick combo!

Track 3 - Power Training 1 : Every Breath You Take 5:34mins
The jabs are too fast.. you can run if you want to.. Seriously.. it's about SPEED..

Track 4 - Combat 2 : So What 5:06mins
Unlock the real speed potential in karate and TKD.. Plenty of karate punches non-stop, throwing the punches far and fast.. Of course, track 4 is always a traditionally jump kick track, that's what you'll have..

Track 5 - Power Training 2 : Stairway To Heaven 6:28mins
If you think this is your normal T5 track, man, you are seriously wrong... this is as goooooood as a typical track 8! The combo and the speed, the arms will fall off by the end of this track, and it's only track 5! Wait till you see what Track 8 packs later... 3 rounds of epic arms jabs and hooks and uppercuts.. You can imagine how much there are.. Oh god...

Track 6 - Combat 3 : Get Low 3:18mins
Don't look down on 3 minutes of track 6.. For a few reasons..
a) It is NOT a recovery track
b) Your legs will cry, maybe surrender
c) THIS IS NOT A RECOVERY TRACK
d) Lunges, switch lunges, esquiva, squats and shoot and just like the title of track suggest, GET LOOOOWWWW... yea, there's no chance for you to even stand up.. NO CHANCE... at all....

Last but not least, this is NOT a recovery track, but only if you do it right and well!

Track 7 - Muay Thai : Ready To Rock 7:43mins
Again, one of the longest MT track! Are you ready to rock?? Superman punch is back.. with plenty of knees.. Yeah, there's also running man! It's not easy especially after Track 6.. Not easy at all..

Track 8 - Power Training 3 : Like A Rainbow 7:47mins
Normal track 8 has just 3-5 rounds, but guess what, there are 13 rounds! Yes, 13! It goes down in the 15 years history of BODYCOMBAT as the record Track 8! This track will leave you fatigue and shattered!
6 on each side, with one final round front stance..
So what did they do to this track? It's a power training track after all! If you think your arms survived track 5 earlier, don't be so sure now..

They don't call this track EPIC for nothing..

Track 9 - Conditioning : Watch Out For This 3:55mins
Watch out for this conditioning track! Be a jaguar stalking its prey.. The animal kingdom rules this track.. from a baby jaguar into an adult jaguar ... and oh ya, how's your arms? Wait there's push-ups! AND ends with pike crunch, firing the lower abs like no other track 9 has ever fire the abs!

Track 10 - Cooldown : Heart of a Warrior 3:15mins
You'll need this.. Stay for the cooldown..

Together, it's one of the longest track 1 ever in BODYCOMBAT, over 9 and a half minutes! In over 56 minutes packed with speed and power, this is the most epic ever release.. like seriously, coming from me where I said the past few releases weren't that "awesome", but this is..... mother of all release probably...

Mother.

Of.

All.

Releases.


'nuff said..


Coming soon to a club near you..



Last but not least, I would also like to express sincere appreciation to Reebok in association with LESMILLS for the instructor privilege.. It gives us instructors a discounts at Reebok stores! How cool is that! LESMILLS does not make it's own clothing anymore, and it's all been rebranded with the Reebok logo now..

Thank you Reebok

Replacement Class in Celebrity Fitness Bkt Rimau

It's bad luck?

The gym I was teaching in Port Klang is now being suspended for not having proper license from the local town council.

Which means I have no class to teach and in return no income.. Projected incomes all haywire and I am in some financial shit thanks to it..

Sigh.. hopefully it will reopen soon...

Replacement Class in Celebrity Fitness Bukit Rimau

Replacing Damien on 11 June (Wed) 8.20pm in Celebrity Fitness AEON Bukit Rimau.

The Boosters' Lose Weight Event

Last Saturday I was doing a class in conjunction for a Lose Weight event in Y-Centre Puduraya..

When I arrived, I wasn't prepared to see an old sound mixer that only accepts CD and thumbdrive, can't blame it.. cos the centre belongs to the kementerian aka government..

The mixer looks exactly like this.. so old that it doesn't even have a bass and treble dial! 

Which instructor these days still uses CD and thumbdrive to conduct class these days, perhaps 10 years back.. So we fumbled to fix it, make shift mic to ipod which provided temporary solution until an audio cable was gotten.

Instructors these days use ipod, if not ipad to play the musics.. It's a given thing..

It was a high energy class nevertheless as I can feel the participants were pushed to give their very best.. At 700 kcal, what more can you do to burn those calories?

Looking forward for more such events to come!

New Slots

Thursdays 8.35pm - TM Fitness Centre, Taman Kota Pendamar, Port Klang
Fridays 8.35pm - TM Fitness Centre, Taman Kota Pendamar, Port Klang

Infinity Fitness & Beyond sealed off by building owner

March 31.

Instructors, staffs and members arriving at Infinity Fitness & Beyond at Sooka Sentral this morning were greeted with a notice saying the gym is no longer in business.

Apparently the rental wasn't paid and the building owners MRCB sealed off the gym.. But what happens between the leassor and leasee shouldn't have affected its payroll.

All of us are in a quandary what's next.

Lost hope

Many times I've look back and I think I have lost hope in LesMills and BodyCombat.

Look at BC59. While they kept screaming epic, best-ever, ask yourselves, is it REALLY that best-ever?

For me, the best ever were in the days of releases 30s. No releases can ever beat that. It was those releases that make me fell in love with BODYCOMBAT for the first time, around 8-10 years ago. That's what I am talking about!

Members kept asking for very old releases because they enjoyed it most. And whenever a recent release/song was played, they go, "awww, not again, can change?".

Now that's the problem.

Veteran instructors will understand what I am trying to say here. I'm sure you have had requests asking for old releases and that new ones were sucky. Trust me, I know, even if you don't want to admit it.

AND WHEN GYMS START TO PULL OFF LESMILLS license, it's clearly also they have lost hope.

If you feel like giving up, remember why you begin in the first place

I'll always need to remind myself of this, because at times I feel like, why the hell am I doing this?

Then I remind myself why I started in the first place, 4 years ago.

It has been a journey of 4 years.. I have taught at many gyms, and gone through many moments of glory and gory.

But I still enjoy what I do. Just that sometimes the GXM can be really fucked up and pain in the ass - that's just sucks, you know?
