Amos Twins
TWINS
Tony and Joel Amos have literally fought for a holiday abroad
to ensure prolong their stay away from school!
The 12-year-olds landed a dream trip to Switzerland and will
go on a sight-seeing tour of Geneva in November.
But it won’t be a laid-back break for the duo for they
will be in central Europe representing a Northern Ireland
kickboxing team.
In preparation for their clash with a Swiss select, the Amos
boys demonstrated their talent at the Comber Leisure Centre
last weekend, tussling in an all-action five boy sparring
session.
The twins have never travelled beyond the Northern Ireland
coastlines. Proud dad Tony said his boys have “grown
into confident young men” since taking up the martial
art.
“The sport of Prokick kickboxing has really helped my
boys. I have seen them grow in confidence and I can’t
wait for them to travel to Switzerland. I am so proud of what
they have accomplished so far.”
The boys travel to Switzerland on November 4 with head coach
Billy Murray, the former four-time world champion.
Murray said: “I’ve never been outside Northern
Ireland with a representative team so young. It’s great
that the Amos twins are going together. It’s their first
big trip outside Northern Ireland and they will never forget
it.
“It’s an exciting venture too for Prokick Gym,
the kickboxers and their parents. They will be the guests
of Villars, a beautiful town in Switzerland. I lived close
to there for two years and I know this will be a memorable
experience for everyone involved.”
