📍 Donnington Community Centre

OX4 4BB

10AM- 12PM Senshi Kids grading

12:30PM-3:30PM Senshi Adults grading

Please make sure you arrive on time and bring plenty of water.

🥋 Senshi uniform is preferred where you have it, but it is not essential. If you don't yet have a full Senshi uniform, suitable training clothing is absolutely fine.

Please also remember to bring any protective equipment required for your grade

Being invited to grade means your instructors believe you're ready to take the next step. The grading is your opportunity to demonstrate the technique, control, fitness, determination and attitude you've developed in training. 👊

🎟️ Still need to book your grading ticket?

If you've been invited to grade but haven't purchased your grading ticket yet, please get this done today.

Get a good night's sleep, come prepared and, most importantly, give it your best!

Good luck to all our kids and adults grading tomorrow. 🥋🔥

See you tomorrow!

- Coach Russell & the Senshi Team

Wishing our friend Deep Lahori the best of luck with his new club.

🤣 Well... I guess I owe everyone an apology! 🤦‍♂️

Sometimes you've just got to hold your hands up and admit when you've made a mistake...

Maybe promoters shouldn't be let loose on competition systems! 😂

I woke up this morning to message after message...

"Mark... the competition disappeared at about 9:00 pm!"

"Has the event been cancelled?!"

"I can't find it on Smoothcomp!"

Nope... it wasn't Smoothcomp.

It was me... I pressed the red button! 🔴👉🤣

Because quite a few of you missed out on the Early Bird price through my little "technical masterclass", we've decided it's only fair to extend the Early Bird deal until Sunday 2nd August at 11:00 pm (23:00).

So if you thought you'd missed your chance...

🎉 YOU'VE GOT ONE MORE OPPORTUNITY!

Keep an eye on this page... we'll let you know as soon as the Early Bird registration is back open.

Thanks for all the messages... and thanks for keeping me humble! 😅

⚖️ Bristol Open 2026 Weigh-in Information

To help make your competition weekend run as smoothly as possible, here are the key weigh-in details.

📅 Thursday 22nd October
🕕 Venue weigh-ins: 6:00pm to 9:00pm

Get weighed in the evening before competition and start your weekend stress free.

Friday’s schedule includes:
🥊 Advanced Light Contact
🥊 Advanced Kick Light
🥊 Tag Teams

For all eligible age groups.

If you can’t make the Thursday weigh-in, don’t worry. You can still weigh in throughout the weekend up to one hour before your division starts.

However, we strongly recommend weighing in first thing in the morning before any of your divisions. Competition schedules can move quicker or slower than expected, so don’t leave your weigh-in until the last minute.

Please remember:

✅ This is an international WAKO Kickboxing event, so there is zero weight allowance.
✅ Full Contact competitors must weigh in before fighting each day, in line with WAKO rules.
✅ Once registration has closed and the draws have been completed, no changes can be made if you miss weight.
✅ Before the draws are published, we’ll review all single entries and double starts and make any necessary adjustments.

We’ve been in your shoes. As fighters and event organisers, we know how important a smooth arrival is. That’s why we’ll be using all of our experience to make sure the arrival and weigh-in process is as slick and efficient as possible, keeping queues to a minimum and getting your competition weekend off to the best possible start.

We can’t wait to welcome you to Bristol! 🥊
