Guide to Tennis Rackets

June 24, 2020September 17, 2020 - by John Katu

Tennis can be an exciting sport for people of every age group. There is little or no equipment necessary to play tennis, but what there is certainly, is extremely important. When you begin to try out or learn tennis, you need a place to learn and employ. Many schools have tennis courts that you just will be able to use when school isn’t in session. You can also find courts at local parks, private clubs, and sometimes community centers. Sometimes usage of these courts will be free, while maybe they will often charge a small fee. Once you have found a location to try out, you will want comfortable clothing and running sneakers (or sneakers), a tennis ball, and most importantly, a tennis racket.

My Perspective on Being Overweight and Overage in Taekwondo Training

May 25, 2020June 3, 2020 - by John Katu

I have recently trained in the Korean martial arts, and to be frank, it appears that my training appears to be completely fruitless – and it is not because I am unwilling to learn taekwondo, but rather It’s due to two important factors which have placed me on a handicap: being overage and being overweight. As much as I have untapped potential which can be used to serve a larger community, sadly these two factors are bringing me down like a prisoner carrying his heavy burden all day and night.

January 17, 2020February 20, 2020 - by John Katu

Swimming is one of the best ways to spend your summer vacation. There’s nothing like jumping into ice-cold water on a very hot day. But there are dangers that you need to be aware of before heading to the local swimming pool. One of the biggest (and quietest) threats is dehydration.

Dehydration

Dehydration is a disease that causes an extreme electrolyte imbalance in the body. This happens when you don’t take enough fluid to replace what is lost through sweating and urinating. While dehydration is a danger during sports physical activity, it becomes more during swimming. This is for two reasons, first when you exercise, you sweat. When you are in swimming water, you do not realize that you are still sweating and thus lose fluid. Second, because you are surrounded by water, your brain is tricked into thinking that you have all the fluids you need and does not …

As the 2 year countdown kicks off across the UK the world’s medal-hopefuls are gearing up for the start of the London 2012 Olympics and construction of the site is well underway. Kevin McCloud has already been busy taking a peep and has spied a “hint of awe-inspiring architecture” amid the numerous challenges that lie ahead. Zaha Hadid’s Aquatics Centre – titled the ‘Pringle’ thus far to the organisers’ slight consternation – may turn out to be the architectural star of the show especially when Danny Boyle works his magic as Artistic Director at the opening ceremony, but who will be the sporting stars? Will there be another rising talent like Amy Williams’ incredible gold medal victory at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, or will ‘veteran’ Sir Chris Hoy be the one to watch in the cycling velodrome – and while we’re at it what makes such a sporting success …
