Bodycombat 29 Launch @ California Bugis, 7 September 2006

KT, Fiona & myself went for the Bodycombat 29 launch at California Fitness Bugis branch last Wednesday evening, 7 September 2006. The launch theme is "back to school" and the team comprised Ayesha (team lead), Cheslyn, Roger & Alif. Ayesha roleplayed as the school teacher or something like that, while the rest were her students.

The studio was packed, but not as packed as we expected it to be though. Believe the launches at Raffles or Orchard branches will be badly packed. Anyway, we managed to find a good spot near the stage (fortunately as well as I helped Roger took quite a number of photos). There's some refreshing changes in this new release, for one, the total duration of the tracks is shorter than previous few releases. There's also lots of jumps in this release. But in my opinion, the toughest portion is the double side kicks, cos we have to balance ourselves on one leg while doing 2 consecutive side kicks.

Overall, though we've felt there's a lack of rapport amongst the launch team members, the launch was still great fun nonetheless. During the launch, we felt that this release didn't have that "punch". However, as we attended a few other combat classes after that, it is a different story altogether.
