Hello everyone!
We hope this newsletter finds you enjoying a tropical summer to the full. Here at Taus Gym, we’ve had a wonderful few weeks; as well as lots of successful classes, we held a lovely members’ barbecue! We look back on this with great pleasure, of course, and it gives us plenty of energy to get stuck into the new season.
In this newsletter, you’ll therefore find out what you can expect from us in the coming period. As well as the addition of a new lesson, we’ll be taking part in Meet the Marines and the Viking Run. We would also like to inform you about the free workshops, a special (sports) first-aid course, discounts for loyal members and changes to the timetable.
MEET THE MARINES
Last year, members of Taus Gym took part in “Meet the Marines”, an event in which participants had to work together relentlessly for 24 hours to complete physically and mentally demanding missions. These missions are set by the elite of the Dutch armed forces. During these missions, you discover where your limits lie and how to deal with them.
Working as a team, the passionate Taus Gym members rose to every challenge! We’ve received some very enthusiastic feedback from everyone who took part. We’re also incredibly proud of these fighters. For these reasons, we’ve decided to take part again next year!
During the ‘Meet The Marines’ event organised by 23 May 2020 We’d like to have a team ready to go again. The event starts at 09:00. The cost of the event is €135 for the first 10 participants. The venue is yet to be announced. Would you like to take on the challenge with us? If so, please sign up HERE On!
VIKING RUN
For anyone who’s been training at Taus Gym for a while, the “Viking Run” is no stranger. For a number of years now, we’ve been taking part in the best “Obstacle Run” in the Netherlands alongside our highly motivated members. This year, too, we want to take up the challenge once again and, with a group of warriors, tackle a Strong Viking obstacle run.
Strong Viking is an organisation that organises a series of obstacle runs between August and October. These events challenge participants to push their limits through themed courses, such as water and mud. The philosophy behind Strong Viking is inspired by the Vikings, who are known as adventurous and strong warriors who fought side by side as brothers.
We would therefore like to invite our brothers and sisters from Taus Gym to take part in the “Brother” edition of Strong Viking. During this unique challenge, you will not only be put to the test physically and mentally, but you will also need to demonstrate excellent teamwork. The “Brother” edition of Strong Viking will take place on 12 October in Amsterdam. We want to put together a team to take part in the 13km run. Taking part costs around €69 per person, The costs vary depending on when you enrol.

KIDS KRAV MAGA NOW ALSO AVAILABLE IN BREDA
Exercise is good for children – we all know that. Through play, they develop their muscles and stay healthy and full of energy. But what makes Krav Maga so special? Through the Krav Maga classes at Taus Gym, children aren’t just focusing on their physical development, but also on developing important social skills. In a group setting, they learn how to respond in threatening situations and learn about respect for others. By teaching them how to stand up for themselves, we also help build the children’s self-confidence.
Thanks to the success of the classes, we’ve decided to offer these courses in Breda as well! The classes are for children aged between 8 and 12 and will every Monday taking place 5.45 pm to 6.30 pm.
A free workshop will take place on 26 August. To register your child for a free workshop, or for the lessons, you can HERE Sign up! (or via our Taus Gym Facebook page). Please include your child’s name and age in the message.

(SPORT) First Aid Course at Taus Gym
We will soon be organising a sports first aid course at Taus Gym for our instructors and members. In line with our core principles, we believe it is important that we look out for one another. The first aid lessons will equip you with the skills to save lives, which we regard as an incredibly valuable life skill.
The course is delivered by Safetyschool, an organisation certified by NIKTA. They specialise in delivering short but intensive safety training courses. The course consists of an e-learning module and a practical session, including an exam. The practical session and the exam last a total of 4 hours. During this practical session, particular attention will be paid to sports injuries.
This class is intended for Taus Gym/IKMF instructors and members. It will take place on Sunday 15 September from 1.00 pm to 5.00 pm at our main site (Taus Gym Professor, Romeinstraat 11a).
