Mr Christie pictured here with his wife Nan and daughter Stephanie took the first place spot over twenty other advanced beginners. The gym’s newest kickboxing students aged from 16- 60 years of age all took part in a competition that tests their skills and development in the martial art.

The event, called Prokick Says, is based on the old playground game Simple Simon Says. Veteran 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 started the Prokick Says day with the aim of doing something different for our members of the gym, it helps to eliminate every day stress.

Our Prokick Kids club on Saturday mornings has a Prokick Says day long competition once a month. We found that not only does it help our junior members, but our adult classes also enjoy the competitive fun too. Hopefully Mr Christie will defend his title at the grading later this month.
