TaeBo® Basic Instructor

Together with Billy Blanks, the creator of the TaeBo Aerobic Kickboxing Workout from the US, IFAA has developed a comprehensive training concept offered exclusively by IFAA in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and the Benelux countries. TaeBo is a unique power-orientated training for the whole body. It is an ideal way to improve fitness, co-ordination and flexibility, combined with a lot of fun.

TaeBo classes contain almost no choreography and are also well-suited for studio clients who have been rather skeptical towards group training so far. TaeBo offers great variety, thus making it an ideal supplement to the conventional studio program. Therefore it should not be missing from any studio course plan.

Training target:
With the TaeBo Basic Instructor License, you are able to safely give classes on your own. You will learn how to safely execute the different techniques and how to expertly incorporate them into your classes.

Ensuring quality:
The IFAA TaeBo Education Concept was designed on the basis of the movement techniques developed by Billy Blanks and it was adapted to European standards. Therefore, the training in the studios largely differs from the workouts shown in the videos. The studio courses and particularly the education are very challenging concerning strength and flexibility and put a big demand on the teaching instructor in terms of the time devoted to training. The courses are suited for motivated, fun- and performance-orientated studio clients. For clients with health risks the training can only be recommended after consulting a physician.
