Northern Ireland’s talented young kickboxing stars came out in force to
take part in yet another monthly fun day that tests their skills and
development in the martial art. The monthly competition has become an
important part of the ProKick calendar.
Coach and former world champion Billy Murray tests his students through a
variety of games that incorporate the use of kickboxing manoeuvres and
skills.
" We have three level of classes at the Prokick gym for kids every
Saturday – Beginners to yellow belts, then orange and green belt levels
and finally blue to brown belt experienced level. We started this a few
months ago and found it has helped increased the standard of the kids
not just in the class activities but in competition too.”
Murray added, “ At our Prokick Says day the aim is doing something
different for the younger members of the gym, which helps eliminate any
stress or built up aggression the children may have. This also helps the
children focus toward their grading syllabus. "They don’t see it as a
test they see it as an occasion to have a laugh and step outside their
disciplined class for a day and have FUN.”
Today's Medal Winners were:
Amy Donald
Jordan Eyre
Morgan Buchanan
Joseph McWilliams
Saskia Connolly
David Hagan
Tyler Atkinson
A massive well done to everyone who took part and we look forwad to seeing you all back at your regular classes next week.
