We are already in the final stretch of the year. This means we are entering a time of both reflection and renewal. This year has challenged us – and you – like never before, which is why it is particularly important to take stock of our progress and areas for improvement. We’re delighted to see that our members are in good health and are working with us to make the gym a safe environment. We really appreciate the fact that you’re adhering so well to the measures and helping us find appropriate solutions. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!
THE CURRENT SITUATION
Thanks to the loyalty and solidarity of you all, we can still say that Taus Gym is a safe and hygienic environment. We are still able to run classes and continue to follow the advice and measures issued by the RIVM and the government to the letter.
Following the press conference on 13 October 2020, we have had to introduce new measures. We urge you to this page by reading on, so that you know what these measures mean for you. Only together are we strong!
FREE T-SHIRT
To thank our members for their cooperation and support for Taus Gym, we’d like to give you a one-of-a-kind Taus Gym T-shirt. Most members have already received theirs. If you haven’t got one yet, or if you’ve only recently joined, please ask an instructor and we’ll make sure you can take one home too (while stocks last)!
ALL INFORMATION ABOUT CURRICULUM TRAINING, PRE-TESTS AND EXAMS
We’re keen to help you become the best version of yourself. During the classes, we offer you as wide a range of exercises as possible, but sometimes it’s necessary to zoom in and dot the i’s and cross the t’s. That’s why we’ll be offering the curriculum training from 2021 onwards. During this training, we’ll cover all the techniques you need to know at your level and help you execute them perfectly.
We will also be holding three pre-tests a year for all age groups from now on. Would you like more information about the curriculum training, the pre-tests and the official exams? Then take a look at our new exams page.
GROUND FIGHTING COURSE
The broader your skill set, the better you can defend yourself. That’s why we’ll soon be offering the Ground Fight course! During this course, you’ll broaden your knowledge and skills relating to ground fighting. Techniques we’ll be practising include submissions, positive takedowns, dirty fighting, ground versus standing combat, and escaping from submissions.
The ground fighting classes are offered as a course. The course will consist of a series of 10 classes, with each class taking place on the first Sunday of the month (except in August and December). The course will only go ahead if the COVID situation allows.
You can find more information about the Ground Fight course at this page. If you’d like to enrol on the course straight away, you can do so via this link.
Date: From 3 January
Time: 13:00 – 15:00
Costs: €150 (can be paid in 3 instalments)
Location: Professor Romeinstraat 11a, Tilburg
To give you an introduction to the ground fighting course, we are organising a workshop where we will cover the techniques.

Time: 13:00 – 15:00
Costs: €15,00
Location: Professor Romeinstraat 11a, Tilburg
WOMEN-ONLY COURSE
Please note! Due to the new measures introduced by the RIVM, we have decided to reschedule the Women Only course to 17 January. This course will take place every Sunday (09:30 to 10:30) until 14 March. Had you already paid for the upcoming Women Only course? If so, we guarantee you a place on the course starting on 17 January. Would you prefer a refund of your registration fee? Please let us know by sending a message via the contact page.
This course focuses on specific situations that women may find themselves in during everyday life. Women often experience violence in a different way to men. Think, for example, of sexual harassment on the street or whilst out on a night out. It is important to recognise unwanted behaviour at an early stage. We also work on building greater self-confidence and a self-assured demeanour. In a course comprising 9 lessons, we offer you the full spectrum of self-defence!
We are also offering new taster class dates: Sunday 3 January and Sunday 10 January, from 09:30 to 10:30. Participants who register before 10 January will receive a discount on the course registration fee. Visit this page for more information or to sign up! Please note: The course and taster sessions will only go ahead if the current situation regarding COVID allows.
ANNUAL CHRISTMAS RECEPTION
Temperatures are dropping again, the trees are turning orange, and we’re slowly approaching the end of the year once more. At a time that’s all about togetherness, gratitude and conviviality, we always enjoy spending time with you, our loyal members. After many successful Christmas get-togethers, we’re looking forward to them again this year!
The event will, of course, be completely “corona-proof” whilst retaining its usual friendly atmosphere. The Christmas drinks party will take place on Friday 11 December from 8.00 pm. The cost is €10 per member. We look forward to seeing you at Taus Gym (Professor Romeinstraat 11a, Tilburg)! Please register for the drinks party via our contact page. The drinks reception can only go ahead if the current situation regarding COVID allows it. We’re keeping a close eye on developments and will let you know if anything changes!
