資深教練 - Matthew
Interview with the lead coach - Matthew
Q: 點解開始學習泰拳？
A: 當初學泰拳算係誤打誤撞，不過學咗啲基本技術之後就越來越有興趣，後來成為正式教練，而家已經有5年了。
Q: 好多女士近年都鍾意打拳修身，你會點幫佢哋呢？
A: 以泰拳減肥絕對有根有據，因為泰拳好多動作，包括拳、腿、肘、膝嘅反覆運用，可以利用身體每一部份嘅肌肉，不斷努力嘅練習加上我哋Devil Fitness嘅爆汗課程，一定可以燃燒多餘嘅卡路里同埋脂肪。以減肥瘦身嚟講，每個人都有不同需要，加上資質、經驗都會唔同，所以我哋主要以小班教學，方便我可以就每個學員嘅需要同埋程度作出適當嘅指導，協助大家達到目標。
Q: 教泰拳嘅趣事？
A: 我發現好多新學員初初會好怕醜、好尷尬，或者見到高級學員練習嘅時候會好驚，我會多啲同佢哋傾計，分散一下佢哋嘅注意力，等佢哋無咁緊張。
另一方面，我最鍾意同一啲資深學員練習，因為每個人嘅打法都唔一樣，我都可以從切磋中學到新嘅技術，同大家一齊進步
Q: How did you start practicing Muay Thai?
A: It was a happy coincident that I started learning this sport, but once I’ve mastered the basic skills I realized I’m already in love with boxing. That’s how I’ve become a coach for over 5 years now.
Q: More and more ladies look to boxing to get into a better shape, how do you help them?
A: It has been proven that Thai boxing is a very effective weight-loss sport, since repetitive moves including punch, kick, elbow, knee utilize every muscles of the body. At Devil Fitness, our sweat-inducing course is designed to burn excessive calories and fat, and since we tend to teach in small class, I can help each student according to their special needs and skills.
Q: Any stories to share with us?
A: I find that many students are very shy when they first started, or are intimidated by our experienced students, which is where I step in to chat with them, distract them, so that they will get used to our training quickly. At the same time, I like to practice with our experiences fighters, which is where we all improve by fighting different styles of combat.
