Iron Squids

New Class starting Xmas school holidays.

There is a blaring deficiency in the physical education of our youth. As a father of 2 children, each in pre-primary and primary school respectively, I have seen and met many children at pre primary, primary and even high school age that do not possess the physical aptitude to perform basic human movements like a squat, or hinge or crawl. Movements I know they could perform as younger toddlers, as we all did, but have already lost. If they are to continue down this road, we condemn them to a lifetime of playing catch up with their bodies. Exactly like you are now (most likely). We must teach them the joy of physical freedom, for it is not something restricted to only the youthful.

“But they do sport and physical education at school” I hear you retort. Well yeah, they do. But I’ll be damned if I know what they do with that time. Playing watered down ball sports and running “cross country” does not equate to using and learning the skill of strength and body mechanics. There wasn’t even 1 single legitimate field event at the last “sports carnival” I attended.

In the Iron Squids class, I teach children ages 6-12 the skill of strength. Once they know how to practice this skill, it will serve them for life. I will teach safe and effective biomechanics for basic movements like the squat, lunge, gait, hinge, twist and breathing. All while having a blast. I will improve your child’s “physical IQ”, working on proprioception, balance and strength using games, gymnastics, kettlebells, and wrestling. The kids will also be trained in self defence and anti-bullying. We will raise brave, physically and mentally tough leaders who can protect themselves and the weak, as well as maintain their composure in stressfull situations. The Iron Squids class will be the reason your child picks up seamlessly and can play any sport they wish in their future as the skills I bestow upon them are transferable to most every aspect of life.
