• 7:44
  The events featured 3 leagues in a round Robin format, teams
• 7:48
  battling for places in the semi finals and the chance to compete
• 7:51
  for trophies and medals. Organise organizers hailed the
• 7:54
  competition as a big success and a great showcase for inclusive
• 7:58
  sport in the city. And these are your sporting
• 8:01
  headlines this evening on PCR Sports.
• 8:04
  Thank you, Caroline. Stacks of things happening in
• 8:06
  our city as always in on all levels, grassroots all the way
• 8:10
  up to professional level Posh. I know you're an avid Posh fan
• 8:13
  and I am indeed. We've not spoken for a while on
• 8:16
  Posh to be honest. So obviously the season started
• 8:20
  off fairly miserably, but there's been some great recovery
• 8:23
  and Luke Williams is is turning things round, generally isn't.
• 8:26
  He yeah, he's he's a very good manager and he speaks a lot of
• 8:29
  sense. He's quite logical I think in
• 8:31
  his thinking. The team seem to have gelled and
• 8:34
  they seem to want to play for him, which I think makes a huge
• 8:37
  difference in football. And they've all seemed to have
• 8:41
  come together. We've lucked out quite a lot of
• 8:43
  injuries over the last couple of weeks.
• 8:46
  Hopefully you know, the the teams are starting to sort of
• 8:49
  like come back, but some of the players they've they've stepped
• 8:51
  up and it'll be hard I think for the injured players to come back
• 8:54
  in to the starting line up. It won't be easy.
• 8:57
  But yeah, Leyton Orient tomorrow will be tough and then obviously
• 9:00
  home to Rotherham on Tuesday and then away at Wimbledon and they
• 9:04
  won quite nicely in the week Wimbledon.
• 9:06
  So that'll be a tough game next Saturday.
• 9:09
  Still a chance of playoffs, maybe.
• 9:11
  I think they've just missed it, to be honest.
• 9:13
  I don't actually think they're probably quite strong enough
• 9:15
  this season either. I think Luke Williams has got
• 9:19
  great guidance and I really hope that he sort of stays with with
• 9:22
  Peterborough and nobody comes along and pinches him, which
• 9:25
  obviously, you know, is is classic isn't it for Posh,
• 9:27
  unfortunately, when players or managers do do well.
• 9:31
  But I think he's there for long term.
• 9:33
  And yeah, we'll we'll see what the next sort of like few weeks
• 9:36
  bring. But I think they've just
• 9:37
  unfortunately missed, missed out on playoff places, but they
• 9:40
  won't get relegated, which obviously.
• 9:42
  Which is a great recovery from. Weather, yeah, I mean, obviously
• 9:44
  in October we're bottom of the league so you've got to take it.
• 9:47
  It's been nothing but positive. The crowds are slowly increasing
• 9:50
  again, fantastic away support. I mean I go to most away games
• 9:54
  as well and the support there doesn't seem to be whining which
• 9:57
  is which is good. Brilliant.
• 9:59
  Good stuff. Well wish Posh good for the rest
• 10:01
  of the season. Thanks, Caroline.
• 10:03
  Right, let's just take our first break here and afterwards we'll
• 10:06
  be speaking to Ian and Shannon Parker, who are from the Martial
• 10:09
  Arts Fitness Academy, MPSK Martial Arts Fitness Academy,
• 10:12
  talking about the club there and what they do and the great work
• 10:15
  they do for the community. And Marie Ames, one of their
• 10:17
  students is also with us in the studio and she'll be speaking
• 10:20
  from her perspective for the experience and what she achieves
• 10:24
  at the club. So stay tuned PCR.
• 10:27
  You're listening to PCR. Sports.
• 10:39
  Welcome back to the PCR Sports Show.
• 10:41
  Myself, Dipam and Caroline this evening and our guests tonight
• 10:44
  are from MPSK, which is a martial arts fitness Academy in
• 10:48
  the heart of Peterborough based in Breton.
• 10:50
  And they've come to talk about their club and what they do and
• 10:53
  the great stuff they do for the community.
• 10:56
  So I'm joined this evening by father and daughter team Ian
• 10:58
  Parker and Shannon Parker and one of their students, Marie
• 11:01
  Ames. Good evening to you all.
• 11:04
  Thank you for joining us this evening.
• 11:06
  And Shannon, if I can come to you first, I mean, I've read a
• 11:11
  bit about what you do at the club.
• 11:13
  It sounds very impressive. You know, tell us a bit more
• 11:16
  about the club, you know, how long it's been around and and
• 11:18
  the services you offer and what you do.
• 11:20
  OK, so we are based in Breton, opposite the ice rink in
• 11:24
  Peterborough. We've had the current location
• 11:28
  for around 12 years now. So that's our full time centre
• 11:31
  that we operate from now. But in all, I think my dad's
• 11:35
  been teaching in the area for 37 years.
• 11:38
  Yeah, about that, yeah. And I've been teaching 16 years,
• 11:43
  training since I was like 2, so a long time.
• 11:49
  Yeah. And we just offer a mix of.
• 11:51
  So our traditional style is Tangsudo, but we've sort of
• 11:55
  moved with the Times Now and you know, based more now on like the
• 11:59
  reality side of our street self defence.
• 12:03
  We do ladies only kickboxing, children's classes, fitness
• 12:06
  classes, we do weapons training and yeah, all ages.
• 12:12
  And then we have our sense sessions that we do.
• 12:14
  And we've just started our Let It Up a Let it Out program,
• 12:18
  which is base flight teens that are on reduced school timetables
• 12:22
  out of education. Yeah, sounds really good.
• 12:26
  We'll go into detail about each of those aspects throughout the
• 12:28
  show. You mentioned about reality
• 12:32
  star. What does that actually mean
• 12:33
  there? The reality, it's more like for
• 12:35
  the street defence outside, you know a lot when you're attacked.
• 12:38
  I mean the art side of it is completely different to the
• 12:42
  reality side. The reality side is nasty, dirty
• 12:45
  and you know where the art side is beautiful to watch with fancy
• 12:49
  kicks and stuff like that. But I I believe that now you
• 12:54
  need to know that reality stuff, you know, to get by.
• 12:57
  Just basics, kind of. If you are getting into any
• 12:59
  trouble anyway, you can defend yourself, can't you?
• 13:01
  Yes, yeah, of course. Yeah, absolutely.
• 13:04
  Shannon, you mentioned that it's open to adults as as well as
• 13:06
  children and and no age restrictions within reason and
• 13:10
  obviously long as you can walk, I suppose we.
• 13:12
  We take, we take on from 3/4 and then I think our oldest student
• 13:17
  we've trained was 75. Yeah, 70.
• 13:20
  So yeah, there's no there's no limit and there's no right or
• 13:23
  wrong. Age 70, he did.
• 13:25
  Yeah. Did he really?
• 13:26
  Yeah, he did. Yeah, I'll tell you age.
• 13:27
  No limit then, is it? No.
• 13:29
  Fantastic. And on a personal level for both
• 13:31
  of you, if I, if I, if I can't stay with you for a moment,
• 13:33
  Shannon. And you've had a great deal of
• 13:35
  success internationally, haven't you?
• 13:37
  With. With the sport.
• 13:38
  Yeah. Oh, art.
• 13:39
  Good art. It's called art, isn't it?
• 13:40
  Rather sport. Yeah, a bit of both, yeah.
• 13:43
  Tell us more about that. Well, like I say, I've been
• 13:45
  doing it a long time and I've been competing since the age of
• 13:49
  about four. So it's sort of always just been
• 13:51
  with me. And then I've gone on to compete
• 13:55
  sort of all over the world, won world titles, British titles,
• 13:58
  European titles, and still going now you.
• 14:02
  Still compete now. Yeah, still competing.
• 14:04
  I keep saying oh it's going to be my last one but.
• 14:07
  I can't give it up. Can.
• 14:08
  You no, I haven't got that to that point yet where I'm like,
• 14:10
  right, I'm done. But yeah, and.
• 14:12
  What about yourself in what's your personal journey been like
• 14:14
  in the sport? I know as Shannon mentioned
• 14:16
  earlier, you've been teaching coaching for 3637 years, but
• 14:20
  obviously it started for you well before that.
• 14:21
  Yeah, I started when I was 7. I'm 63 now, so long time.
• 14:26
  Yeah, I've, I've trained a lot of places with some top
• 14:30
  instructors. You know, my, some of my masters
• 14:33
  are the like the best there is. My personal journey is I just
• 14:39
  love what I do. And if I can help somebody,
• 14:42
  that's what it's about, isn't it?
• 14:44
  It's giving, giving back, you know?
• 14:47
  Yeah, it's not all take, it's giving back.
• 14:49
  No. And we've had other martial arts
• 14:51
  clubs or individuals on as guests before.
• 14:54
  And as I say, say a similar thing that I think there seems
• 14:57
  to be like an ethos or or about on martial arts where you learn
• 15:00
  it and then it's all about passing that knowledge on and
• 15:03
  continuing that. Of course.
• 15:04
  Yeah. And not just keeping it yourself
• 15:06
  and and putting it to good use so that you help other people.
• 15:08
  Yeah, sometimes it can be a little bit tricky, you know,
• 15:12
  because some people don't want to share their knowledge.
• 15:14
  They want to keep it just for their sort of school.
• 15:18
  Like we've got a sister club in Hampshire called The Husk now
• 15:22
  they're traditional Shutter can, but they're our sister club.
• 15:25
  They've come under my umbrella so we work together.
• 15:28
  This is different styles mixing, which I think is brilliant.
• 15:32
  It's just the way forward. And then during your kind of in
• 15:35
  personal career, did you compete as well like?
• 15:37
  I did, yeah. Yeah, I've won a few world
• 15:39
  titles and British titles. And that.
• 15:41
  But you know, it's just what you do and it, when you're young and
• 15:45
  you know when you get older, you've got to sort of relax now.
• 15:48
  I leave it to Shannon now and the team.
• 15:51
  You guys sound so modest. You're like, we're in the
• 15:53
  presence of, like, martial art royalty here, and you're just
• 15:56
  like, oh, yeah, we just want a few world and European titles,
• 15:59
  people. Yeah, well, I know I can see
• 16:00
  that, Absolutely. But the fact that you're humble
• 16:02
  about your achievements is incredible.
• 16:04
  We don't often get world champions in this studio, I'll
• 16:06
  tell you. We just love what we do and pass
• 16:09
  on knowledge that is. Yeah, to me, that's a gift.
• 16:12
  Yeah, yeah, I definitely think it's more rewarding for me
• 16:16
  seeing like our students hit their goals and their
• 16:20
  achievements then me going, winning a title like that means
• 16:22
  more to me than me personally winning a title.
• 16:26
  That's incredible. And that that kind of really
• 16:28
  sets a great tone at the actual Academy itself and how you wish
• 16:32
  to run it and and the values you put you promote there as well.
• 16:35
  Yeah, I mean, we're very lucky because anyone that we sort of
• 16:38
  have joiners, they will say like it's not like a club.
• 16:42
  We we are like one big family, you know, everyone is there for
• 16:45
  each other. And yeah, it's just not like a
• 16:48
  an average club that you might walk into and everyone sort of
• 16:50
  just doing their own thing like, you know.
• 16:53
  Which I have seen when I've been about.
• 16:55
  Yeah. And my journeys, you know, they
• 16:57
  keep you sort of at arm's length.
• 16:59
  They don't want to bring you in. It takes a long while.
• 17:02
  Where as soon as you walk into our place, you're welcome.
• 17:04
  Yeah, arm around the shoulder and come in and join us.
• 17:06
  Type. Thing.
• 17:06
  Enjoy and enjoy what we do. Yeah, yeah.
• 17:09
  And that's how it should be, I think with any club, with any
• 17:11
  sport, to be honest, because you, if you want to get the best
• 17:13
  out of people, then that's what it should be to make you feel
• 17:15
  welcome and feel at home. Yeah.
• 17:17
  So on that note, Marie, if I can come to you next, You're, you
• 17:21
  are a, a member of the Academy from a, from a sort of record it
• 17:24
  from a customer perspective. You like, you're one of the
• 17:27
  students and, and you've got children who are students there
• 17:29
  as well. And Yep, have you find it, You
• 17:32
  know, how long have you been associated with the Academy?
• 17:34
  So my son's 15 and I think he started when he was about 6 or
• 17:39
  7. And then my daughter, my
• 17:42
  youngest daughter started when she was 3, 3-4.
• 17:47
  And then I started probably about 4-5 years ago.
• 17:52
  Yeah. It was kind of like my son dared
• 17:54
  me. He said I really wouldn't dare
• 17:55
  do that. And then I was like, yeah, I
• 17:58
  would. Yeah, I would.
• 17:59
  Wow. That's.
• 17:59
  Kind of cool. Called his bluff.
• 18:00
  Yeah, going from there. And have what's your experience
• 18:03
  been like for the last few years?
• 18:05
  I love it, Absolutely love it. Yeah.
• 18:08
  What do you love about it? Everything.
• 18:10
  So like Shannon said, we are just one big family.
• 18:13
  I do the ladies classes and the circuits and I mean the ladies
• 18:17
  classes are brilliant. I mean, we just all shower like
• 18:21
  encouraging each other and one of the ladies gives us stickers
• 18:24
  at the end. So yeah.
• 18:26
  No, it is. It is brilliant.
• 18:28
  And what, what classes do you get?
• 18:30
  What sort of which art do you sort of participate in?
• 18:33
  Because obviously Shannon, you mentioned yeah, yeah.
• 18:35
  And what about in terms of the martial arts?
• 18:37
  My daughter does the Tang pseudo side of it, my youngest
• 18:41
  daughter, my eldest is does the ladies kickboxing and then my
• 18:45
  son does Shannon's letter out programme.
• 18:48
  Fantastic. So you've got kind of your
• 18:51
  family has experience of multiple aspects of of what they
• 18:54
  offer for the Academy. Son did originally start by
• 18:57
  doing the Tang pseudo that as he's got older he's had to come
• 19:01
  away from that and no, that's why he's doing the letter out
• 19:03
  programme. And in, in terms of what it's
• 19:05
  done for you and your family, then not just from a technical
• 19:08
  perspective, obviously you'd learn the arts technically, but
• 19:11
  yeah. But has there been other aspects
• 19:12
  that that of kind of disciplines or other things that have
• 19:15
  improved your life generally well?
• 19:17
  It's definitely improved my fitness, but it's, it's like
• 19:24
  it's that woman. It's it's brilliant.
• 19:25
  It's you know, these guys are amazing.
• 19:27
  They're there for you, not more. Like, I don't know, I can't
• 19:31
  explain it. They just read for you there in
• 19:34
  a in every sort of way. Yeah, in a so like in an
• 19:36
  emotional way as well. You know, my son, bless him, he
• 19:39
  hasn't had the easiest ride. These guys have been amazing,
• 19:43
  absolutely amazing. So kind of it sounds like like,
• 19:45
  like like Ian said that it's a family sort of feel there and it
• 19:49
  gives people a good sense of belonging and, and, and so feel
• 19:52
  like they're part of something and just a community feel there.
• 19:55
  Yeah, definitely. We are just one big family,
• 19:57
  aren't we? We are.
• 19:59
  Amazing stuff, right? Let's just take a short break
• 20:01
  then. We're back talking a bit more
• 20:03
  about MPSK as a martial art Academy and finding a bit more
• 20:07
  about, again, talking deeper about the services they offer
• 20:10
  and and what takes place in the club.
• 20:12
  Stay tuned, it's PCRM. You're listening to PCR.

• 21:03
  So no excuses for missing any of our show, especially the sports
• 21:06
  show on a Friday night, 6 till 7, right?
• 21:10
  We're in the company of Ian Parker and Shannon Parker from
• 21:13
  the MPSK Martial Arts Fitness Academy, along with Marie Ames,
• 21:17
  who's one of their students. Ian, Shannon, if I come back to
• 21:21
  you, just want to touch on something you mentioned earlier,
• 21:24
  Shannon, around the offerings that you have at the club, you
• 21:28
  mentioned about do for send children and and make it sort of
• 21:31
  inclusive for for for all comers.
• 21:34
  Tell us a bit more about that initiative and, and, and the
• 21:36
  sort of the idea and the concept behind that and why you decided
• 21:39
  to offer that service. So we was.
• 21:41
  Already doing like a sensory circuit you was running that
• 21:45
  wasn't you. But then lockdown happened and
• 21:48
  you know, we we couldn't run the normal classes.
• 21:50
  We could. And then it was like trying to
• 21:52
  build it in again. But it was something we was
• 21:54
  really passionate about. So we made a decision, didn't
• 21:56
  we, a few months ago that it's something we really want to
• 21:58
  start up again. So we do a children's up to 11
• 22:02
  on a Monday, and then we have like 11 up on a Friday.
• 22:07
  And it's just a bit of a space where they can come just, you
• 22:10
  know, like the little ones, they'll just run ragged for 10
• 22:12
  minutes. And then we just do like some
• 22:14
  basic little pad work, just basic little things to sort of
• 22:17
  keep them engaged. And yeah, they have a great
• 22:20
  time, don't they? They do, yeah.
• 22:21
  And do you like to see them little kids faces?
• 22:24
  It's worth £1,000,000 to me. Do you know what I mean?
• 22:26
  When you see them walk out and they're smiling and happy, I
• 22:29
  wanna come back next week and it's lovely and.
• 22:33
  In particular, you know, I guess they must face challenges in
• 22:36
  life in whatever capacity, of course, and this gives them
• 22:38
  something that again like going back to the earlier sort of
• 22:41
  conversation, a belonging, a place that they feel comfortable
• 22:43
  and and welcomed and, and I love to really place for.
• 22:46
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is absolutely fantastic.
• 22:49
  Yeah, my. One of my friend's sons has got
• 22:52
  special needs but unfortunately he's he's a teen gone past a
• 22:56
  teenager, he's like 2324 and she's finding it very difficult
• 23:00
  to find somewhere for him to go or to do something.
• 23:04
  My son works for Youth streams project and they do a lot of CPE
• 23:08
  in schools and holiday clubs and obviously it's only up to sort
• 23:10
  of a certain age. I think it's like year 8.
• 23:13
  And then obviously, you know, my friend's done things with her
• 23:16
  son up to about 18, but he's hit 18 and there's just nowhere
• 23:19
  really for her to take him. And it would be interesting to
• 23:22
  know what is out there for, for adults like that.
• 23:25
  So we do have. As I say, like the Friday
• 23:28
  session, so that includes sort of adults as well.
• 23:31
  Yeah, but we're. More than.
• 23:32
  Happy for anyone to come and try just out who you are our.
• 23:36
  Sessions in the. Evenings or on that with like
• 23:39
  our Let it Out programme, it is based more on children that are
• 23:43
  out have education. But I'm finding I'm getting a
• 23:47
  lot more people interested with your sort of situation.
• 23:52
  So they want to take like the one to one training option.
• 23:54
  OK. And.
• 23:56
  Yeah, that's just gone crazy busy.
• 23:58
  So we we have quite a lot of options.
• 24:00
  There's just doesn't seem to. Be a lot out there.
• 24:02
  Yeah, I know. That's.
• 24:03
  Sort of. It's a gap, isn't it, between
• 24:05
  like it's a fine line of, of obviously teachers, they're not
• 24:10
  in schools anymore, so nobody can teach them, can they?
• 24:12
  But and then obviously like clubs come along, but they
• 24:14
  probably feel a bit that they can't participate because they
• 24:18
  can't do some things that other children or other adults can do.
• 24:21
  And I think it's probably quite a lonely sort of time for them.
• 24:24
  But it's nice to know that people can come to your club and
• 24:26
  be welcomed and and received and can just get on with it because
• 24:31
  as a minor. If somebody is is receiving
• 24:33
  special educational needs and, and, and being met that way, but
• 24:36
  once they like, they leave school and they're an adult put
• 24:39
  out into the world and you kind of lose that support, don't you?
• 24:42
  Of course, but there's nothing. In the adult world because he
• 24:44
  can't really find a job or do anything like that.
• 24:47
  So but he can't just stay at home no all the time either.
• 24:50
  So it'd be nice to know if there are things out there for for
• 24:53
  other people like anybody. It sounds like if.
• 24:55
  You're a speaking friend and MPSK could be a good place to
• 24:58
  start for them. So that's that's brilliant.
• 25:01
  You touched on there about the Let it Out programme, again,
• 25:03
  another sort of initiative that you offer, which again is is I
• 25:08
  think a niche in the market. And I'm not saying it from a
• 25:10
  commercial perspective. But again, like we talked about,
• 25:12
  there's gaps there because you know, I know people who
• 25:14
  homeschool kids and they have a certain routine and how they do
• 25:17
  things. But you know, there's there's
• 25:19
  another dynamic here now then isn't it for what you offer?
• 25:21
  Yeah, so. It's been sort of in talks for a
• 25:26
  couple of years. I've been doing the one to ones
• 25:29
  with Marie's son. And then from there, me and
• 25:31
  Marie, Marie would always say to each other, we should you should
• 25:34
  really start this. And I'm like, yeah, but
• 25:36
  obviously life happens. And then one day I just said,
• 25:39
  you know what, we're just going to do it and see how it goes.
• 25:41
  And it's been running for a month now and near enough every
• 25:44
  day I'm booked in with one to ones, we do group sessions.
• 25:48
  And I'm finding it's not just children who are home schooled,
• 25:52
  it's children that are on reduced timetables.
• 25:56
  It's children who might have been sort of kicked out of
• 25:59
  mainstream school for behaviour. And then now it's gone on to
• 26:02
  more where I'm being contacted by like the council and other
• 26:06
  local authorities to help with their youths.
• 26:09
  And yeah, it's just gone crazy. But they all come and they love
• 26:14
  it. And you know, I've had parents
• 26:15
  cry. I had a teen the other week and
• 26:18
  his mum walked in and she was like he won't speak.
• 26:21
  He's not spoke in like 3 years. Wow, not a single word.
• 26:24
  Only to his. Parents and his sister and by
• 26:28
  the end of the class he was chatting away.
• 26:29
  He was asking me questions. She sat in the corner and she
• 26:32
  was sobbing. But straight away I rang you all
• 26:34
  didn't ask, crying and I'm like, this is what me like, this is
• 26:38
  what it is about and that's what like you said.
• 26:40
  Ian, just to see that thing happen, you know, either like I
• 26:43
  walk out, walk out of the place with smiles on the faces or, or
• 26:46
  the example that Shannon just gave there.
• 26:49
  That's priceless, isn't it? It is, yeah.
• 26:51
  And this is. What I say, I could teach
• 26:52
  anybody anything. If you've got the mindset, I'll
• 26:55
  help you and we, we will do it together.
• 26:58
  You know, this is this is my goal to, to help these kids that
• 27:02
  are left out. You know what I mean?
• 27:04
  We'll take them, don't we? And it's just amazing just to
• 27:07
  see somebody's life change, you know, just because you're giving
• 27:11
  them a bit of time. There's not enough people.
• 27:13
  Like you, probably I don't. Think there's enough options for
• 27:16
  them either it is you know, I'm not knocking the way that you
• 27:21
  know the the world runs, but I think it's kind of if you're not
• 27:24
  on that route, there's not many more options for you.
• 27:28
  I think you've. Kind of.
• 27:29
  I was just thinking along the same lines there that the world
• 27:31
  works in systems and if you don't conform or fit into a
• 27:34
  system, then you're kind of discarded or you've forgotten
• 27:37
  about. And it's brilliant that you're,
• 27:40
  you're finding people who need that.
• 27:45
  I won't say extra help or support, but certainly perhaps
• 27:47
  don't preach, don't want to be part of the system or can't be
• 27:49
  part of the system. And therefore you're, you're
• 27:51
  supporting them in a different way.
• 27:53
  But it sounds fun, yeah? Absolutely.
• 27:54
  Like, you know, and every, everybody needs a bit of fun,
• 27:57
  don't they? Everybody needs something to
• 27:59
  look forward to. So that is a.
• 28:01
  It's like. Yesterday I had.
• 28:02
  A new student in and he got upset and he started to cry.
• 28:06
  And he said, I don't think this is for me.
• 28:08
  And I goes, listen, you keep saying to me it's impossible.
• 28:12
  I've got to say. And I always go, listen, it's
• 28:14
  not impossible. It's I'm possible.
• 28:17
  Yeah, you put an apostrophe. There becomes a different word I
• 28:19
  said so just. Think that I said carry on and
• 28:22
  you know, by the end of it he'd come out and he went I want to
• 28:25
  come back to his mum because I want to come back next week.
• 28:28
  That's priceless, isn't it? And just staying with you
• 28:33
  though, and then Shannon touched on earlier about children or
• 28:37
  people that perhaps have behavioural challenges or
• 28:40
  issues. You know, we've spoken to boxing
• 28:42
  clubs in the past and it must be similar to what you're what you
• 28:44
  do there is that it kind of harnesses some of that behaviour
• 28:47
  and and turns into a positive, doesn't it?
• 28:49
  Yes, it does, yeah. And.
• 28:50
  It changes people. 'S lives that way, in the right
• 28:52
  way. Yeah, yeah, definitely 100.
• 28:55
  Percent. My son comes out of those.
• 28:56
  Sessions. Oh, my son comes out of those
• 28:59
  sessions and he's calm and he absolutely loves it.
• 29:01
  He loves going and it's it's something.
• 29:04
  That it gives them something to look forward to every week or
• 29:06
  every, every whatever days they attend.
• 29:08
  It just gives something to look forward to and and again, be
• 29:10
  part of something. Yeah, definitely.
• 29:11
  No, it's it's dinner does him the world of good in.
• 29:15
  Terms of other clubs that you might have, you know, been with
• 29:18
  not Percy but for your children for example, how does MPSK
• 29:21
  differ? Have your club, have your
• 29:22
  children try to try to sort of associate with other clubs,
• 29:25
  other sports, other activities. My son did.
• 29:29
  Start when he was younger at another club but it didn't work
• 29:32
  out and he was being bullied at school.
• 29:36
  So Ian spoke to my husband and said I'll bring him along, you
• 29:40
  know, we'll we'll help him. And then we've been there ever
• 29:43
  since. And what would you?
• 29:45
  What would you say to, if there's parents out there or or
• 29:47
  children that might be listening and they're kind of ringing
• 29:50
  about martial arts and not sure about it, what, what advice
• 29:52
  would you give them? Try it and.
• 29:54
  Try it at MPSK, that's quite straightforward.
• 29:57
  And direct advice and then why, why would you say we obviously
• 30:00
  know MPSK is a wonderful Academy, but in terms of try,
• 30:04
  why would you say that because I never.
• 30:07
  Thought I would and now I've got my level 1 fitness so if I can
• 30:11
  do it, anyone can do it. Sound advice.
• 30:13
  So if you're if you're teetering on the edge, then just give it a
• 30:16
  go. Shannon, if I come back to you,
• 30:19
  if there are again, if there are people out there that are
• 30:21
  potentially interested, how do they get in touch touch with the
• 30:24
  so with? Academy Find us on Google
• 30:27
  numbers, emails, everything's on there.
• 30:30
  We're also on Facebook and Instagram.
• 30:32
  MPSK martial arts We're also on Tiktok.
• 30:36
  MPSK Martial arts Fantastic. So you've got lots of options
• 30:39
  that you can reach us and then on our website as well.
• 30:42
  We do have a contact form which comes straight through an
• 30:44
  e-mail. So excellent and in terms.
• 30:46
  Of that initial engagement and onboarding, what can people
• 30:49
  expect once at the first moments they engage with the Academy?
• 30:53
  What sort of onboarding, any initial trainings, what sort of
• 30:56
  things do you do? So we basically.
• 30:58
  When people come down, we'll ask them sort of what is it they
• 31:01
  want to do because obviously we offer a lot of different classes
• 31:06
  and we find individuals might like set, set classes, they
• 31:11
  might not want to do all of them.
• 31:13
  So we give two weeks free just to come try tasters, get a feel
• 31:18
  of the different classes. And then after there we just
• 31:21
  have a bit of a chat and find out what it was they sort of
• 31:24
  liked, what they didn't so much like.
• 31:25
  And then we just sort of base it from that.
• 31:27
  Excellent. And in terms.
• 31:28
  Of equipment or clothing or anything like what what?
• 31:31
  Just comfy clothes. And a drink.
• 31:34
  Joggers. T-shirt and trainers type thing.
• 31:36
  We've got gloves. We've got everything else that
• 31:38
  they need to to stop. Brilliant.
• 31:41
  Do you have to do fundraising? Or like, do you have like
• 31:45
  provisions so that you can cater for all these things?
• 31:47
  Do you buy your own equipment or just obviously you so.
• 31:51
  We do a lot, but we have a sponsor who's Brian Thompson
• 31:54
  Windows, and he's been, he's been amazing, you know, Kitted.
• 31:59
  Our Dojo out with equipment and he's Ashley and and Rebecca
• 32:04
  they're they're brilliant people you know you don't often meet
• 32:07
  people like they like them They they just give do you know what
• 32:11
  I mean because they they know that it's going to a good cause
• 32:14
  yeah. So yeah, we've been really.
• 32:16
  Lucky with that. Fantastic.
• 32:17
  Good stuff. Right, let's take our final
• 32:18
  break and we're back again with Ian, Shannon and Marie and
• 32:23
  myself and Caroline in a few minutes.
• 32:24
  Stay tuned. It's PCR FM.
• 32:27
  You're. Listening to.
• 32:28
  PCR Sports. Welcome back to the PCR Sports
• 32:41
  Show with myself, Dipam and Caroline.
• 32:43
  This week we're in the accompaniment of Shannon and Ian
• 32:46
  Parker from the MPSK Martial Arts Fitness Academy and one of
• 32:50
  their students, Marie Ames. If you've missed the show so
• 32:52
  far, it's an absolute belter so you can listen back.
• 32:55
  Fear not, after 7:00 on our website pcrfm.co.uk, the show
• 33:00
  will be up there for a week until the next show so you can
• 33:03
  have a chance to listen back to it because it's been a superb
• 33:06
  show so far. Coming back to yourself, Ian and
• 33:11
  Shannon for a moment. So you mentioned about the
• 33:14
  classes that you offer. We talked about offerings for
• 33:17
  for seven children and young adults, the Let It Out
• 33:21
  programme, which is for children on either home schooling or
• 33:24
  reduced hours at school. But obviously you cater for all
• 33:27
  ages. We talked about ladies
• 33:29
  kickboxing earlier, but there's a variety of things that you do
• 33:32
  there isn't there in terms of individual classes.
• 33:35
  Tell let's go into a little bit more detail about tell us what
• 33:37
  what you do. So we do a lot of traditional.
• 33:39
  Karate, you know, like the the tanks, you know, we do like the
• 33:42
  forms for tanks, you know, and the flashy kicks and and stuff
• 33:46
  like that. We also do weapons training.
• 33:48
  So we teach sword stuff, sticks, nun chuckers, lots of different
• 33:52
  weapons. We have football wrestling there
• 33:55
  on a Sunday. That them guys are awesome,
• 33:58
  aren't they? She does like the ladies
• 34:02
  kickboxing. I do the ladies kickboxing on a
• 34:04
  Friday. Yeah.
• 34:05
  It's strange to have a man in there.
• 34:06
  Do you know what I mean? Because normally we used to say
• 34:08
  no men allowed, but now we do that.
• 34:11
  So. Yeah.
• 34:12
  And then we do that normal kickboxing, don't we?
• 34:14
  Yeah. So like.
• 34:15
  Pads, sparring, pad drills. We we are going to be doing a
• 34:20
  lot of work with G9 Boxing Club. We're we're coming together.
• 34:24
  So we're going to be like doing stuff with each other as well,
• 34:26
  kind of collaborating and yeah. Yeah.
• 34:28
  And doing sort of overlaps with them.
• 34:29
  Yeah, Yeah. Can you start there?
• 34:31
  If you've got no experience, so if you've never picked up a pair
• 34:33
  of pads or never even been into like any club or anything, can
• 34:37
  you literally start from scratch?
• 34:38
  Yeah. And this is what we.
• 34:39
  Say there's no sort of it's never too late to start, we like
• 34:43
  to say, because it doesn't matter.
• 34:44
  Like I say, the our oldest student, I don't think he
• 34:46
  started till near 70, didn't he? And that's right.
• 34:50
  Yeah, she's. Looking for something
• 34:51
  retirement, Yeah. And he now he's.
• 34:53
  He got his black belt and he competed.
• 34:55
  He fought in, yeah, and. He got a European.
• 34:57
  Title and yeah. Yeah, so it's never too.
• 35:01
  Late and so would you say that? The offering that you have at
• 35:04
  the club is, is is multi level in terms of if somebody wants to
• 35:07
  just do it as a fitness thing, they can do it.
• 35:09
  They can do it as a hobby, yeah. If they want to be more kind of
• 35:13
  serious about it and compete and try and get to elite levels,
• 35:15
  you'll you'll offer them, offer them that as well.
• 35:17
  Yeah, we do, yeah. Or like with the.
• 35:19
  Traditional side, if they wanted to not compete in things but
• 35:22
  they wanted to grade for their belts, they can do that.
• 35:25
  We've brought that in with our fitness classes as well.
• 35:27
  So now they can actually do their levels of fitness
• 35:30
  gradings, just gives them something to sort of work
• 35:33
  towards. Yeah.
• 35:34
  So that option's there or they can just come and train.
• 35:37
  So, yeah, so it's kind of. Open to anybody and everybody
• 35:39
  isn't really. Yeah, you go different.
• 35:43
  Thanks, Caroline. Come and give it a try.
• 35:45
  Yeah. Absolutely you.
• 35:46
  Never know, you never like. It Yeah.
• 35:47
  Absolutely. Who knows?
• 35:49
  Who knows? Wonders never cease.
• 35:52
  Marie, if I come back to you again, just sort of a reminder
• 35:55
  of your kind of experience you've had at the club.
• 35:58
  You've been there a few years, four years, I think you
• 36:00
  mentioned. Yeah, about four years for.
• 36:01
  Me What was it like when you. First joined, what was your kind
• 36:04
  of induction on boarding sort of experience?
• 36:06
  I had 0. Fitness.
• 36:08
  I couldn't even do a proper sit up.
• 36:10
  And like I say, I've just got my level 1 fitness.
• 36:14
  But yeah, it's just welcoming. You know, I'd watch some of the
• 36:17
  classes anyway because they are before or after the children's
• 36:21
  classes. And yeah, I started off just
• 36:24
  doing the sparring classes and then got into ladies, then got
• 36:28
  into circuits. So yeah, do a bit of everything
• 36:32
  and you got in because. One of your children dared you.
• 36:34
  Yes, that's right, brilliant and and obviously don't regret any
• 36:39
  moment of it. No, you don't regret anything.
• 36:41
  Yeah, and and what's? Your kind of future ambition,
• 36:44
  how, how do you want to kind of continue with it?
• 36:46
  I'll keep. Going and doing my level 2 and
• 36:48
  three and then hopefully she'll become.

• 36:59
  for the club then what's ambition?

• 37:02
  number of years, some great work there, a couple of new
• 37:05
  initiatives obviously started recently.
• 37:07
  Anything else you'd want to able to share at the moment about
• 37:10

• 37:13
  To pass leave. Don't we that a bit, But watch
• 37:16

• 37:19
  Continuing to help people like we do and making sure it's an
• 37:23
  enjoyable environment for everybody that attends.
• 37:27
  So just quickly. We just like every year we go to
• 37:29
  the gathering of the World Masters which is 6070 grand
• 37:34
  masters from all around the world meet and there's probably
• 37:37
  5-6 hundred people there. We just train together.
• 37:40
  There's no egos, it's just friends sharing a map and
• 37:44
  sharing their knowledge. Is that UK based?
• 37:46
  WAS? Overseas.
• 37:46
  It's in Bridlington, OK. In Bridlington?
