THE kickboxing wannabes were going full-throttle trying to impress the judges as almost 25 adults were tested on their kickboxing skills and a shot at the next step up the ladder of excellence by taking their grading for Yellow and Orange belt.

“Congratulations to all the adult members who passed their grades. It’s a mark of their hard work, talent and application for some of the lucky ones who passed their kickboxing grades.” Said one of the proKick instructors.

A grading is when Kickboxing students, non-contact and contact, are assessed through a series of levels / grades, with the base level being White Belt, through ten levels, finally reaching a Dan grade at black belt, which is equivalent, if you like, to a degree level in KickBoxing. This type of achievement would take, on average, between six and eight years.

A big well done to our Prokick member Chris McClosker who travels all the way by bus from Strabane, Co.Derry twice and sometimes three times a week, he has moved up the ladder of excellence to take his Orange belt - just seven stages away from the celebrated Black Belt!
