Elliot, Will and Aaron are now in their first stages to becoming a black belt in kickboxing. They will begin their trial instructing in March taking a small portion of the normal Saturday children’s class and progressively build to taking a full class before the graded class around May/June.

These 3 will be the youngest black belts the EKA has ever had. Don’t underestimate them however as they have trained the exact same as any one before them and we look forward to seeing how they take this in their stride.

For those in the club that are aiming for their second or third Dan and are interested in grading to their next level please speak with either David or James or alternatively email info@elemental-fitness.com to see if you are eligible to take it to the next level!

March was the first month in 2019 where there wasn’t a tournament scheduled. Our team were still hard at work training however to prepare for the tournament in April.

It has been great to see the team take shape since Aiden and Sanaa took over the fight club to help aspiring fighters realise their potential and go on to win medals for the club.

The next tournament will be the WKC Youth Championships (under21’s) at George H Carnall Leisure Centre, Kingsway Park, Urmston, Manchester M41 7FJ

If you are interested in competing speak with fight club coordinators Sanaa or Aidan and visit our Events Page to get more details about all the tournaments throughout the year.

Both Sam and Ryan have had lots of fun with the Kid’s Kickboxing Challenges. Run in a similar fashion to the Elemental Fitness Challenges the kids attempt the same challenge for a month before winners are decided and a prize of stickers are given out.

Sam has noticed a massive improvement in the other classes since implementing the challenges and the children love a bit of friendly competition whilst cheering on fellow club members. We hope to see a continuation of a brilliant standard across all abilities and members of the club

The EKA Spring Night out has been scheduled for Saturday April 27^th. Members will be meeting in the largest beer garden in Leeds at the Original Oak for 7:00pm.

We hope many can make this night out (which is obviously for the adults of Elemental Fitness and EKA) and hope it to be the start of quarterly gatherings for members of the club.

Catch up on the most recent blogs from staff and members of the EKA.
