Team Spirit

Team Spirit 

What is TEAM SPIRIT?

TEAM SPIRIT is open to all Kickboxkarate / SKF members regardless of grade or ability. The Team is aimed at those who wish to do competition. Please come along to experience coaching from some of the top fighters in the world. TEAM SPIRIT is a non-profit squad aimed to help students develop in competition all the funds received will go directly back into the fighters.

A message from Sean:

Hello all long time no speak. You all have my full apologies for nothing happening with Team Spirit recently. The reason for there being no squad training is that I have been busy with classes and other personal stuff. I have been working hard today organising the squad and trying to work out what is the best way to run things for the team and move us forward. We do face a problem in moving the team forward. The problem we face is that there are so many other things going on Sundays. There are tournaments, Squad Trainings and other events happening nearly every Sunday.

Solution:

A 1 hour Sparing session held at my sparing class 12.15pm to 1.15pm at Dorking Sports Centre on the last Saturday of every month. This will be a free session there will be no charge. It would be a good way to meet up on a regular basis as a team and bond.

I will try and get a squad training in at least once every two months. The first date I could get this year was 22^nd May and that was the closest date to February I could find where there is no other events taking place.

I am happy if a coach of team spirit can hold a squad training before the 22^nd May without colliding with other events. Please contact me if you as a coach could hold a squad training.

Team Selection:

I will be working on a formal selection process for the team along with all the other coaches of Team Spirit. More news will be coming soon.

I look forward to seeing you all at 12.15pm for a 1 hour sparing session at Dorking Sports Centre on the 26^th March!

Important update: No Classes Thursday 3rd March 2011

Sorry unfortunately the class will have to be cancelled on Thursday 3rd March 2011. Please arrange to train on another night. I tried my best to find an instructor to cover the class but I was unsuccessful.

The reason for the class being cancelled is because the club has been nominated for Team of the Year at the Surrey Advertiser Sports Awards 2010 held at Lingfield Park Racecourse.

Sorry for any problems caused.

On the 5^th and 6^th February 2011 Kickboxkarate students James Harris, George Harris and Kelly Thaxter went out to fight at the Athens Challenge in Greece along with the two Instructors Jacey Cashman and Sean McCarthy. Sean and Jacey were fighting along with three other team mates from the newly formed Team SAP UK who is sponsored by the martial arts brand SAP.

The Team Arrived on the Friday afternoon where we weighed in for our divisions and prepared for the competition over the next two days. Saturday was the open weight divisions and team event. All fighters fought in their open weight divisions but unfortunately did not place. Next up was the team event Team SAP UK won the first round with ease but narrowly lost to the Italian national team (Team Best fighter) in the second round. Team Best fighter placed 2^nd overall.

We woke up early on Sunday for the individual weight classes for both kids and adults. In the advanced kids section George Harris was first to kick off the day receiving 3^rd place for his efforts. James Harris won his weight class receiving 1^st place in the black belt section. Kelly Thaxter entered in the intermediate adults section and received 3^rd place. Sean McCarthy and Jacey Cashman both received joint 3^rd place fighting in the same weight class. Fellow Team SAP UK member Lee Thackrah received 3^rd place in his weight class as well.

It was a great trip and an excellent experience had by all. Thank you to Sue Harris, Richard Harris and Tony Cashman who was behind the team and supporting everyone over the weekend.
