Charity Fight Night

On Saturday the 27th June Steve travelled up to Illminster to take part in a charity fight night. The fight night was in aid of supporting hospitals neo-natal units on the South West and was a great chance for Steve to Network with other local clubs.

Steve helped judge the fights thought-out the night, which I haven’t heard how much we managed to raise. Steve also fought on the show in a points bout. Where their is no continuous fighting, going down 15-10 to specialist and expert points fighter Mark Fry from Exeter. It was a first bout for Steve as it was the first time he took part in a bout taking place in a fighting cage rather than a boxing ring or on matt’s.

Throw Back Thursday- SWKA’s first ever grading

Since it’s a Thursday, I though I’d post a picture from the clubs first ever grading where Kerry Crowther received her 1st Dan Black belt in Kickboxing and Andy Miles received his red Belt.

Andy left the club in the summer of 2009 to go to university up country and Kerry went on to become an important coach and advisor in the clubs development during it’s early years. Kerry currently doesn’t train due to work and family commitments but has and always will be an important member of the club. It is interesting seeing all the old faces and how people have changed as well as the club.
