But! Slagskeppet also want to show us students how fun martial arts is so besides free access to their gym and sessions they’re also offering us a unique private session in thai boxing especially designed for us at KI with their head coach in thai boxing Peter Lööf, Sweden’s foremost thai boxing trainer with 40 years of experience in martial arts both as an active athlete as well as a trainer. Peter has a unique sense for the biomechanics of the human body and over 30 years of experience when it comes to treatment and rehabilitation of exercise-induced injuries and will also go through biomechanics with us during the session.
HOW FUN DOES THAT SOUND? So much fun! So, bring all of your friends and come to Slagskeppet for two hours of endorphin raising, ass-kicking exercise where you can take out all of your aggressions over school! Two birds with one stone!
