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.

World Champion

With that in mind congratulations to FIT2FITE Silver Instructor Claire Burton our resident Word Champion. Claire won the Drug Free Athletic Commission Body Building Championships (DFAC) in Miami on 4th November After dusting herself down from the rude awakening she had first time she entered, this time she got it right and posed the pants off of everyone. Claire we are all both proud and inspired by you.
