2. Calisthenics: Bodyweight exercises and calisthenics play a crucial role in building strength, endurance, and functional fitness. Fera Academy’s program includes a range of bodyweight workouts tailored to each individual’s fitness level, ensuring gradual progress and optimal results. We train our bodies to withstand and deliver impacts, increasing mobility, and strength. All of these factors increase the ability to act in a self defense situation allowing us to further utilize and expand our skillsets. This also increases our mobility bringing benefits to everyday life in getting out of a chair, running, and other activities.
3. Stretching: Flexibility is a cornerstone of this training program. Regular stretching sessions not only increase flexibility but also reduce the risk of injury. Participants will experience improved mobility and posture, allowing them to move with greater ease and fluidity. These longer muscles facilitate higher kicks and easier movements when learning new strikes. It also helps increase blood flow and increase the level of relaxation by removing tension in the muscles.
4. Breathwork: Focused breathwork techniques are integrated into the training to enhance lung capacity, oxygenate the body, and reduce stress. Learning to control and deepen one’s breath aids in achieving mental clarity, heightened focus, and overall relaxation. These practices are extremely important in learning to manage our emotions. Through our mindful breathwork training, we teach our martial artists to gain a control of the most important thing, themselves. We train various breathing techniques for different situations. Through out program, you will learn which one fits where.
5. Meditation: Mindfulness and meditation are central components of the Mind, Body, and Spirit Training. Regular meditation practices promote mental resilience, emotional balance, and increased concentration. Participants develop a greater sense of self-awareness and learn to manage stress effectively. Practicing single pointed focus in our meditation increases our awareness, calmness, and increases our neural plasticity. Through meditation we may further our knowing of ourselves helping our understanding grow. Instilling endless calm through the river of chaos that is life, our meditation caries us where no other tools can. It is very difficult at first, but if you keep going, it becomes something you want to do.
