Bravura
Noun
- Great technical skill and brilliance shown in a performance or activity.
- A display of great daring.
Our Ethos.
Harbored deep within each and everybody is the robustness and ability to achieve feats of great endurance and physical hardship. This is an idea that has been nurtured by the Team Bravura co-founders, two serving Royal Marine Commandos, who constantly strive to prove that everyone has the ability to push themselves that little bit further.
One of the most limiting factors holding the majority of people back from daring to believe, or even try, such challenges is their own self-imposed limitations. We aim to re-adjust and break down these mental barriers and facilitate the ‘breaking out of the shackles of mediocrity’.
Our aim is to provide a platform for anybody and everybody, from beginner to the experienced athlete, from which to strive towards any goal. Through concise information and training ideas, as well as races and events, Team Bravura aim to show you that when it comes to the body and its limits, anything is possible!
In a world fixated on instant results and quick fixes, it easy to get lost in a plethora of information. Here at Team Bravura we believe in the age-old idea that hard work, simplicity, as well as doing the basics to a very high standard, will never lead you astray.
What is key to remember is that truly remarkable and lasting fitness in any area will take the most precious of commodities to accomplish: TIME. Rome wasn’t built in a day and the same can be applied to all past winners, regardless of sport. Tangible results take months, and more often than not years to achieve. On the other hand it is hard work and pure determination, which can occasionally lead to something even more special – greatness.
This idea has been lost over the recent years with the overwhelming and growing might of the media/internet, and the wealth of ‘knowledge’ that it brings. This never-ending maze of conflicting ideas and information does little more than to overcomplicate what should be an individual and largely instinctive process.
At Team Bravura, instead of ignorantly cutting out the science behind training and competing (information that has been gathered by some of the most prestigious scientists, coaches and athletes) we aim to take a back to basics approach. To simply translate the information and make it proportionate to everyday athletes of all levels, from beginner to ultra, with a single concise place to obtain the necessary tools to succeed – essentially a one stop shop of information, knowledge and ideas.
So are you brave enough to step up, dedicate your valuable time and efforts towards a meaningful and fulfilling challenge? The results can be remarkable if you go about it the right way…
Go on we dare you!
Team Bravura
