THE NEW WAVE OF TBKS TALENT HAS ARRIVED!

Today our newly announced TBKS fighters stepped onto the tatami — and they most certainly STEPPED UP!

An extremely impressive display across the board, with fantastic performances, positive attitudes and a strong competitive mindset from every fighter.

This is a new beginning for these young athletes. New challenges, new experiences and another opportunity to show exactly what the future of TBKS looks like.

They competed with courage, confidence, determination and belief — and represented the team brilliantly.

OXFORD CHAMPIONSHIP — DAY 1

What a fantastic opening day for the TBKS Fight Team! 🔥
Today was about much more than medals. Our fighters stepped onto the mats with courage, belief and a determination to perform.

We saw some brilliant performances throughout the day, but what impressed us most was the positive attitude and positive mindset shown by every fighter.

When things went our way, we stayed humble. When challenges came, we responded positively, learned and kept moving forward. That is what being part of this team is all about.

Every one of these athletes has earned this opportunity through hard work, commitment, sacrifice and determination.

To put on the Team England kit and represent your country on the world stage is a huge honour — one you should all be extremely proud of.

A massive round of applause and our HUGEST appreciation to absolutely everyone involved in today’s BKS Martial Arts & Fitness Interclub.

Today was about so much more than competition. It was about courage, confidence, development, respect and stepping outside your comfort zone.

To every fighter who stepped onto the tatami — YOU SHOULD BE PROUD! 🥋

For many of you, today was your very first experience of competition, and it takes real courage to step forward, face the nerves and put yourself out there.

You stepped up. You competed. You learned. You grew. 💪

Win, lose or draw — today was a victory in personal development. Every round, every point and every experience is another building block for the future.

A huge thank you to all the officials, volunteers and everyone working behind the scenes. Events like today simply don’t happen without people giving their time, energy and support.

Massive thank you to our main organisers Sophie Smith and nick sharpe

And to our spectators… WOW!
🏟️ A FULL HOUSE!

The atmosphere inside BKS was absolutely incredible. The encouragement, applause and positive energy you gave every fighter helped make today something very special.
Seeing our venue packed and hearing the support around the tatami was a proud moment for us.

THANK YOU.
You helped create an incredible day and memories that some of our young fighters will remember for a very long time.
One event. One community. One incredible atmosphere.

A massive well done and applause to everyone for the work during today’s team training session.

The attitude, commitment and work rate were outstanding. A huge sparring session with plenty of hard rounds, pushing fitness, technique, reactions and resilience.

Most importantly, there was plenty of positive feedback, learning and development throughout the session. Every round is an opportunity to improve, and today the team showed exactly what can be achieved through hard work and determination.

Keep working. Keep learning. Keep pushing each other forward.
