sporttain.net, essential skills for a healthy & enjoyable lifestyle

Train in and with nature, as Takiken is meant to be, optimize your natural inborn skills, and apply them intuitively. Taikiken is not only effective as a martial art, but can be applied in everything you undertake in your daily life.

The Japanese call it 'Shinrin-Yoku' - ‘Forest bathing' and forest air not only feels fresher and better, phytoncide inhalation seems to functionally improve your immune system. It is proven that it reduces your heart rate and blood pressure, reduces your stress hormone production, boosts your immune system, and improves your overall feeling of well-being.

'Kangen ryoku,' training with the omnidirectional forces in nature. Relaxation by effort, intense moving, and at the same time de-stressing your hectic modern life.

SPORTTAIN - DISCOVER YOUR PERSONAL STRENGTH WITH A FRIENDLY SMILE

Sporttain is a network for people who are both private and professional looking for more knowledge and insight in the field of Selfness, self-defense, and life vitality!
Sporttain connects people who are physically, mentally, and spiritually engaged in the essential elements of life, such as sustainability, health, and happiness.
The approach of Sporttain seminars, workshops, and training is sustainable and innovative, sometimes confrontational, but always with a liberating smile.
For example, you can take the challenge to work with a personal trainer on your "to-do" wish list (Bucket List), a step that you on your own might not have the strength and motivation for. You can do book a single, double or triple personal training! Then you go according to your choice alone, in pairs or three to work on a challenge and realize a dream together. Seminars and workshops can give you more knowledge and insight on some life issues that you struggle with. Of maybe you just want to have a martial arts or qigong workout with a group of like-minded people. Sporttain has a wide range of activities and if we can’t fill in your wishes ourselves, we have a wide network of fellow trainers, coaches and speakers available, which is a benefit of over forty years of training and coaching experience.

Fedor Emelianenko MMA

Bellator MMA: Fedor vs. Bader The Perfect Ending To The Heavyweight Grand Prix. It’s not the ending everyone expected, but a Fedor Emelianenko vs. Ryan Bader match-up makes so much sense for everyone involved.

When Bellator announced its heavyweight tournament at the start of last year, it was met with tons upon tons of responses. With speculation about who would win, and what the final match-up would be. As the year 2018 has gone on and we finally have our final match-up for the Bellator heavyweight championship, we can absolutely look back and say that this is a fantastic ending to what was a weird tournament.

Being on opposite sides of the bracket it was always known that Fedor Emelianenko and Ryan Bader could fight, but it always fell into the weird category of fights that could come in the final. It was also far from expected. 

Ryan Bader vs Fedor Emelianenko fighting for the Bellator heavyweight title on January 26 at The Forum in Los Angeles, California.
