Tournament Update                                                               April 2011



Hanmadang Saturday 18 June
First Technical Tournament for 2011
Hanmadang Poster 121010The Factor10 "Hanmadang" Technical Tournament has always been an exciting experience for all students.  The more energy focused events include timber board breaking, fly side kick and high kick with the higher level technical events of Poomse and Self defence providing students an opportunity to reach that bit further. 

Factor10 members are really encouraged to participate.  Mums and Dads always attend the tournament and watch their children do some incredible things, and parents often say they are surprised their children have advanced so far in their Martial Arts development.

Entry will be available on-line shortly - so pop this date in your diary as it's a great day not to be missed.


  
Factor10 Great Parenting                                           Who's the Boss? 



What Should I Say?  
One of the greatest challenges of successful parenting is to know whether it's your turn to decide what your children are going to do or if it is their chance to take the lead and decide for themselves. So how do we know when to let them take the initiative and make decisions for themselves?       Read more of this article ....

Factor10 Lifestyle Eating                            Know What You're Eating 
  Food and Fitness Log
I often have people ask me for simple tools they can use to help track what they are eating on a daily basis.

I found this great website that has a Fitness Log that you can complete. It's a very cool website - well first of all it's free and that's a great bonus - but secondly it is a great way for you to start to track exactly what you eat and know how many carbs, fats and protein you are eating and how this compares to what you should be eating based on your level of activity.

Once you start entering the food you eat you'll start to learn the sorts of foods you can go with and the ones you need to eat less of or even stay away from.  Have a go and see if a self driven approach will help you.
