PCYC Free Health Talks by the Natural Vibrant Health Team

Gold Coast PCYC in partnership with the Natural Vibrant Health Team have been holding monthly health sessions on Saturday mornings at 10.30am. They are directed by wholistic and integrative Doctor and author Valerie Cole.  These health experts offer these talks to empower you to maintain or regain your health naturally. The invaluable information offered in these sessions are absolutely free as a community service to you.

Saturday the 7th of May, we heard from Karen Phipps N.D Ad Dip. HSc.M.C.M.A who is a qualified Naturopath and extremely knowledgeable on a broad range of health issues.  Karen explained to us how the toxins can build up in your body and how you can address the various problems.

Doctor Valerie Cole went into details about the hormones in the Male and Female body and the health issues you would face if you were suffering an imbalance. Some of the root causes of fatigue were given for example: low thyroid and adrenals. Women and men's hormonal imbalances were discussed as to how to balance them naturally for optimal hormonal health.

At the end of the session we asked people to leave comments about the session and this is what they said:

Lonie Taylor popped in while her children attended Gymnastics and Tennis Classes.  We didn't get time for a photo but she said:  "I heard the second half of the presentation.  It was really interesting and I am sorry that I missed the first half."   

Isabel Brunmayr - "I really enjoy these health sessions.  They are extremely helpful, educational and friendly.  I plan my Saturdays around these talks now."

         

Claudine Lombard - "I found both information sessions very helpful. I would certainly be interested in following up in hair mineral analysis.  Thanks to PCYC for making these presentations available."

Dylan Zack - "Both the hormonal and the toxicity were very informative and fairly easy to comprehend. Time well spent."

John Emanuel -"Very informative, valuable information that everyone should know."



THE NEXT HEALTH TALK WILL BE ON SATURDAY THE 9TH JULY 2011 AT 10.30AM.

Savate - The Thinking Person's Kickboxing

When we think of ring combat sports Boxing, Mauy Thai and Mix Martial Arts generally come to mind, however there is another ring art that has, for the past 170 years, had a major influence in Europe - this art is called Savate.  An evolutionary  product of Western thought the development of Savate can be traced back to the second half of the 18 century.  During the 1830s Savate would undergo changes that would come to have a major bearing on its primary skills sets and training outcomes.  Influenced by the aristocrats thirst for anything new along with Savate practitioners cross training in English boxing, Parisian wrestling and cane fighting these changes resulted in the arts emphasis shifting from one of the street combat to sport.

Today the sport component of Savate is practised as a French kick boxing method with the emphasis being placed on constant movement, clean kicking techniques and amateur boxing principles.

The pace of Savate competition is fast, constant and tactically challenging, sometimes referred to as "the thinking person's kickboxing" its rhythm can best be described as a continuous connected sequence of movements based on timing, distance and opportunity. 

Savate training provided at the Police-Citizens Youth Club focuses on learning the correct skills sets along with exercising against heavy bags, focus mitts and Thai pads.  Savate promotes cardio vascular fitness, stress release, reflexes and enjoyment.  When working with a partner it is mandatory to control all techniques, this promotes technical skills over bashing.  If your interest is in keeping fit or enter in competition then Savate has something to offer everyone. 

Craig Gemeiner is the current Savate Coach at the PCYC, he is a silver glove (the highest technical level in Savate) and has been training in the system since 1985.  In 2005 Craig won the Asian Pacific Savate Championships in the 65-70 kg division and in 2008 captained the first Australian team to compete at the world Savate Championships in Paris. 

Savate is ideal for men, women and also teenagers 15 years and above. 

Equipment - You need to bring boxing gloves and sports shoes.  The coach will provide boxing gloves for the first few lessons only.

Monday Night Basketball Under 16 Mixed

Our Monday night under 16 mixed basketball session is pretty casual, not blowing the whistle too often builds confidence and a love for the game.  We have young people of different height and skills but everyone plays together making it a positive experience for everyone. 

The game is sociable and a lot of fun.  It runs from 6.30pm - 7.30pm at the low cost of $7.  We warm up, practice a few skills and then into a game.  I coach this session whenever time permits and I hope to see you all soon.
