Kickboxing! A Gather - Grow - Play event.
About this Event
Beginner Kickboxing with a trainer from Champions Martial Arts Academy. A Gather - Grow - Play event.
Welcome to Gather - Grow - Play, Heart x SPINE's biweekly community events.
Every two weeks, we get together to connect, empower ourselves and try something fun - often something we might not normally think to go out and do.
This time we're teaming up with Champions Martial Arts Academy in North Vancouver for a beginner-friendly kickboxing experience led by Joel Zapata and Ryan Conroy! Joel is a 4th degree black belt who has 3 ring fights and is undefeated with all wins coming by knock out! Ryan is a black belt instructor at Champions.
GATHER
We'll meet at Waterfront Park (near the dog park) in North Vancouver at 1pm, Sunday, September 13th.
We'll start by giving everyone a chance to arrive, meet each other and connect before getting into the practices that begin every Gather - Grow - Play experience.
If you're new to personal development, mindfulness exercises or martial arts, that's all good!
Come by yourself or bring a friend!
GROW
Every Gather - Grow - Play event includes three simple personal-growth practices:
Gratitude practice.
Goals practice.
Breathwork practice.
And, of course, we'll get in a little Nerf-style target shooting for some fun before moving into the martial arts portion of the afternoon.
PLAY
This is the part that changes every time.
For this experience, we're joining Champions Martial Arts Academy for a beginner-level kick boxing experience led by their instructors.
You don't need any previous martial arts experience. This is an opportunity to learn, move, challenge yourself, have some fun and experience something you may not normally think to go out and try.
It's going to be awesome.
Gather - Grow - Play is about getting together, working on ourselves a little, meeting people and experiencing things we might otherwise never think to try (or haven't gotten around to in a while!).
What to Bring
- Comfortable clothing you can move freely in
- Water
- A small snack if you'd like one
- An open mind
- Your sense of openness and adventure
When: Sunday, September 13th, 2026 at 1pm
