Pictured below from left to right, well done to Steve Winter, Luke Brown and Russell Brown who all took part in the 2009 PKA National Tournament.
Steve Winter (Brown Belt) just missed out on a medal coming fourth in the under 90kg open grade category. Steve demonstrated a convincing and dominating first round win and showed tremendous skill in his fight for the bronze medal.
Luke Brown (Red Belt) did exceptionally well squaring up and trading punches with a much more experienced brown belt fighter. Luke took the fight the full distance before loosing on points. Luke showed great heart and determination and is definitely a fighter to watch out for in the future.
Russell Brown (Red Belt), shocked all spectators by taking the fight to a much more experienced PKA Black Belt fighter. Russell showed skills and experience far beyond his current grade and was leading on the judges score card until the fight doctor called an end to the bout due to a nasty cut on his nose. Disappointed but not disheartened Russell is back training hard and looking forward to the re-match.
Well done to all the fighters and the supporters who went along to the Tournament.

Scott Adkins Seminar - 22nd November 2008
Behind the acrobatics and movie showmanship, lie some very special techniques—moves very few people know about. Just by repositioning your feet, or even just by changing the way you angle your body can literally transform your kicks and punches.
Scott will show you in detail, how to punch and kick with real power and with ease; yet without you having to have any extraordinary skills or flexibility.
