Fundraiser
This event held on 13th October was exceptionally supported by over 80 people contributing to the cause. The vibe was fantastic and up front and centre were the athletes prepared to represent their country: Jordan Clarkson, Danielle Kirby, Claire Burton, Lauren and Chloe Salisbury.
Alan Poole from Nutibombz alongside Don Gordon from Elite Nutrition powered up the participants with their respective healthy snacks and drinks. The athletes looked resplendent in their bespoke FIT2FITE gear sponsored by Sensei Tyrone Whyte of the T Shirt Printers. Paul Francis, brother of F2F founder Greg sponsored, via his company 3NESS Luxury Fitness Weekenders, the sound system. Thanks again to all those who contributed and an extra special thanks to F2F Instructor Ross Mathieu for an exceptional; donation.. £1157.00 was raised
International Competition
FIT2FITERS Lauren, Chloe, Jordan and Danielle competed in ther World Junior Karate Championships in Tenerifer from 24 – 29 October. With 95 countries competing they had their work cut out losing in the earlier rounds to tough opponents. The girls were back to FIT2FITE and karate training on their return understanding that ability gets you selected for a national team, , composure and coaching gets you on the rostrum.
Lauren and James Francis who also trains karate and F2F with Greg have both been selected for the European Junior Championships in Russia in February 2018. We wish them luck.

The next Bronze Grading is open to all FIT2FITE members. If not a member of your local FIT2FITE class ask your instructor when they are starting membership and how you can access these developmental opportunities.
