Afternoon training event and grading 16th August

Steve is in Talks with Mike Rowling, from South West Kickboxing about the return of the 2 clubs meeting up for a joint training and grading day. More details are to follow but here’s a little back ground into the clubs events.

Both 4th Dan Steve Lilley and 2nd Dan Mike Rowling both trained together under 9th Dan Master Gary Harrison, for a number of years before leaving his organisation and both the South West Kickboxing Academy and Martial Arts and South West Kickboxing were formed in the years from 2008. Both clubs have met and run joint sessions in the past in Tavistock, but this year the plan is to get back into hosting a joint session and this time visiting the home of South West Kickboxing Bridport way.

Steve is really excited about going up to visit South West Kickboxing and looking forward to seeing what Mike has built. We have been talking for a few years about making it a more regular session and alternating venues, which is something we will be discussing going forwards.

More details to follow.

Steve Lilley’s BKBU Progress

Head coach 4th Dan Steve Lilley continues his progress towards becoming the BKBU heavy weight Semi-Contact champion. The SWKA are also in talks with Plymouth Judo club about running a Martial Arts day at Tavistock college, as a chance for people to come and try different arts and show case their skills.

Linked this we are also considering having some exhibition bouts based around one art or different arts showing their weaknesses and strengths which will be great fun. If you’d like to be a part of this let me know. There’s also talk of it being a charity event and we may have some well know National Martial Artists attend if we’re lucky.
