GB Fit - martial arts and fitness

Wow… what an a amazing week at the Wako junior European Championships in Turkey.

The standard of fighting was unbelievable with so many top athletes from so many countries.

As a GB coach, I am very proud of how the GB team performed and we managed to top the medal table for the week which is a tremendous achievement with 48 golds!👊🏻

From Team Bristol we managed to get 4 golds, 2 silvers and 5 bronze medals which is unbelievable, with Liam Holden also being awarded Tatami Male fighter of the tournament, which is one of the best achievements of the tournament!

Massive well done to everyone that competed or helped with the team in any way.
Well done to Liam Holden, Marco Casali and Cristiano Firth who are new Wako European Champions 2023 👊🏻👊🏻🎉🎉
All that hard training during the summer holidays definitely paid off! 👊🏻

Team Kickboxing GB Class of 2023
WAKO European Championships

Number 1 Team in Europe
48 Gold, 27 Silver, 22 Bronze.

What a great opportunity for the team last night to have a two hour Sports performance workshop with Paul Burden at www.perform well.co.uk.

Many questions were asked throughout the night from the athletes and parents to help deal with any issues regarding competing at high levels and keeping a clear positive mind for the upcoming Junior Wako European Championships.

As a team, we have worked with Paul quite a lot now, and every time had great results with everyone walking out the gym feeling positive and accomplished.

Massive thanks to Paul and all the parents for their support. Every time I attend one of his workshops, it teaches me something new, not only for myself, but to help the athletes when coaching too.

This is honestly one of the best and important things I have done for myself and the team 👊🏻👊🏻

Just got back from one of the best weeks in my life at the Wako World Championships in Jesolo, Italy. The standard was on another level again and everyone stepped up to perform.

The results were amazing and every athlete from GB Fit fought their hearts out every day.

We had some great results in 3 Golds, 4 silvers and 3 bronze medals.

Massive well done to Jack Sowersby who became double world champion in older cadets, in points and light contact and also Liam Holden who became world champion in juniors light contact.

Well done to everyone and also all parents who really helped to support and organise everyone.

Thank you for the support before we left for all the mental preparation with Paul Burden and the sports massages from Natasha Ryan, it all helped immensely, plus all the sponsors help too.

GB Fit would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported the kids in the GB team to represent this years Wako Junior World Championships in Jesolo, Italy.

Everyone has trained hard throughout the summer and are now ready and super excited to go and represent their country and to take on the worlds best.

We have raised a lot of funds and it’s really helped the team so much and everyone is truly grateful in helping them get to this Championship.

Now it’s time to get on those tatamis and do their thing…

Good luck everyone 👊🏻👊🏻

Great day of black sash weapons training yesterday with the Lau Gar masters. A lot of information picked up. Always got to keep training and improving. Thank you to Master Yau and Master Russell for putting the day on.

Well done to Liam Holden for winning two Bronze medals at the European University games in Poland last week.

At just 17 years old, Liam was the youngest participant in his division and was up against much older and stronger adults, so to win two bronze medals is absolutely amazing.

Well done Liam 🎉🎉🎉👊🏻

Good day with a load of our brown sash students up at the BKFA brown sash course, getting everyone ready for their black sash grading. Great turnout from GB Fit. Big thank you to Master Russell and Guardians Gary and Morag for putting the course on. It was really interesting and useful.

Well done to all the Little Dragons, kids and adults who have graded in Ashton today. A very hot grading, but a great effort. Very impressed. Well done.

Big thank you to Joe, Paul, Rosie and Freya for helping with the gradings.
