Sai's Studio 2000 Muay Thai Fitness

Website is moving to http://www.saisstudio2000.co.uk/

Dear Students, All,

As you should all be aware by now this weekend is the Pride Park Show and because of this there will be no Open Class 1-2pm on Saturday 13th, all other classes are running as normal.

Chok Dee to all fighters and I hope you all have a great night

what a hectic few months we have had at Studio 2000 and the reason for limited updates to the website also.

Anyway the madness is out the way for a short period which allows us to recap on the months past.

First off we were celebrating Steve and Sean Clarke's 10 year anniversary at Studio 2000 and Double Red arm band.

Loyalty, perserverance, enthusiasm, dedication, such words are easily said but very rarely truly demonstrated. Giving 10yrs of your life in pursuit of something you hold dear is a character trait Steve and Sean posess that is missing in society today. These 2 young men are and should be an inspiration to anyone with a goal, a dream, a vision of a better life. They've achieved so much in their lives so far and will continue to achieve all that they wish for because of one thing. A strong mental constitution, built over many years of unrivalled effort. They represent all that is good in life, all that is Studio 2000, past, present and future, and it is my great honour to call them my friends. Look and learn people, look and learn. Amen.

Then we had two new fighters taking part in their first ever Muay Thai fights at Gatecrasher night Club in Birmingham, along with one of our top Instructors Steve Clarke who has a few more under his arm band.
This was a top event and as always Studio 2000 bought along some great support for the occasion, both Elliot Windmill and Ross Singyard had decided to test their Muay Thai skills in the ring for the very first time. Ross giving away an advantage to a late replacement fighter with many more fights after his original opponent did not show.Both Elliot and Ross came away with win's however Steve was caught in the first round by a vicious low kick rendering Steve unable to continue, going to show just how dangerous the sport of Muay Thai can be.

This was then followed by a very special moment for Studio 2000 with Sai and Emma announcing the arrival of their beautiful baby daughter, Scarlett Maria Varley on Tuesday 3rd May weighing 7lb 4oz


No sooner had Sai changed his first nappy he was then off to the British Championships on Saturday 21st May, Studio 2000 had 6 Juniors fighting in the Championships in Birmingham. Harry, Sally, Coke, Reece, Jacob and Harry Heyse with Sally and Reece becoming British Champions on the day.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the British Championships and all the kids who took part.

And a special thank you to Sai Varley , Steven Clarke, Sean Clarke and Marc Sargeant for giving up their family time today for such a special moment for Studio 2000.

Studio 2000
are happy to announce the return of the Tuesday night bag sessions from 7pm till 8pm, these session have proven to be popular so we now have bag sessions running Tuesday and Thursday 7 - 8pm and Saturday 12 - 1 pm.

This gives all our student with busy working lives the chance to stay fit and health with studio 2000

Sai's Reverse psychology for 2011

Ok, so rather than tell you that you should try and lose fat over the holidays, I've got some tips for those who are dangerously UNDER-weight and desperately need to fatten up in order to prepare for their "before" pictures ;).

IMPORTANT! This information is strictly intended to be humorous!
Do not attempt these strategies unless you really, really, REALLY feel like it and want to get fat!!!

I'll level with you...as a personal trainer, I always like to see people put on as much weight as possible leading into New Years Resolution season. It gives me more to work with when they come to me to lose it. :)...heck, without holiday weight gain, I might be out of a job :)

So if you find yourself amongst those who are dangerously underweight this holiday season (like you can still see your feet, for example), fear not...help is on the weigh!! (Phun intended)
These tips will help you to maximize your assets to the fullest extent possible in the limited time you have available.

1. Nap After Every Meal

This includes breakfast. This is a favourite trick of the Sumo wrestler. The idea is to eat as much as possible then go directly
to sleep, a time when your body doesn't use much energy and has a greater tendency to store food as fat. Turkey and warm milk for
dessert will help you accomplish this if you're not tired enough.

2. Follow Fatty Meals With a Sugary Dessert

What's the best way to make sure that fatty food isn't wasted by burning it off?

Eat 12 (or more) sugar filled cookies! The sugar will help raise your insulin levels, helping to push that fat directly into your fat cells where it'll be safe and warm and not floating around in your bloodstream where it'll be cold and lonely and prone to being burned off.



3. Stay Away From Veggies

Vegetables have WAY too much fiber and nutrients in them and will leave you feeling too full to eat enough dessert afterwards to
really maximize results. Even a good, rich dip won't be able to compensate enough for this problem. If you love the taste of dip,
save it for the crisps. Not only do crips have more calories, they are shaped more like scoops than vegetables and you'll be able to get more dip per chip.

4. Gravy is the Fifth Food Group

To really maximize your weight gain, your food pyramid should be floating in a lake of gravy. Gravy is loaded with life-giving energy in the form of fat and corn starch (a wonderful, high-glycemic sugar that will help ram that fat right onto your hips).

5. Reduce Your "Running Around Town" Levels

This is especially true when shopping for presents. You will burn off way too many calories trying to fight the crowds at the shops
for you to effectively gain weight. Hire some neighborhood children to fetch things for you or rent a golf cart. If you must walk around when shopping, be sure to stop at the food court or cookie stand every half-hour to refuel.

6. Drink Alcohol Late At Night

Only do this if you are of legal age (Jaz), of course, and never drink and drive.

Drinking is one of the best ways to increase your unlean body mass that there is. Each gram of alcohol contains 7 calories per gram instead of the pathetic 4 calories in a gram of regular carbohydrates. On top of that, alcohol has the added bonus of turning off your fat burning hormones. And all of this accomplished at night when your metabolism is at it's slowest...what could be better??!!



7. Skip Breakfast, Have a Light Lunch and Hog Out At Dinner

By skipping breakfast and depriving your body of fuel, you will help slow your metabolism early in the day when it normally would
be at its fastest. This will help set up your expansion plans!
The light lunch should consist mainly of sugary foods to help skyrocket then plummet your blood sugar. This will help you to feel much hungrier when you sit down for the big feast of the day.

Dinner should consist of fatty meats, gravy, lots of butter, egg nog, cookies, and something fried. If you must have a salad, save it for last after you've finished up with your higher-calorie selections. And be sure to cover it with enough dressing so that you can't tell what color of food you're eating. And if you can somehow arrange to have that salad fried, even better.

8. Save the Exercise For the New Year

Exercising will only burn off precious calories. It will also help build muscle mass, which is a definite no-no if you want to put on as much fat as possible. Muscle will burn up those valuable calories that you've worked so hard to accumulate all day long.

9. Don't Leave The Table During Holiday Get-Togethers

A great weight-gain strategy is to park yourself at the table all day long. Let someone else clean up the breakfast dishes, wait there for snacks to be served, start into lunch soon after that, lie back and have a snooze (provided you've planned ahead and pulled a recliner up to the table), then wake up in time for dinner. This will result in a favorable lethargy-to-gluttony ratio.

10. Start The Santa Claus Racket in Late November...

Beginning in late November, tell your children that they need to leave milk and cookies for Santa starting early this year. When
they go to bed, drink the milk, eat the cookies. Do this every night until mid-July...

So those are my top ten holiday weight gain strategies...put these into effect and I guarantee there will be more of you to love come January 1st:) oh and more pain for you while you have to loose the extra pounds in the New Year :)
