INTENSIVE POINT FIGHT TRAINING BRISTOL

INTENSIVE POINT FIGHT TRAINING LEVEL 1
BRISTOL (ENG) 19-20 MARCH 



James Harris, George Harris, Kelly Thaxter and Sean McCarthy attended Intensive point fight training in Bristol held on the 19th and 20th March 2011. The session was held by Gregorio Di Leo from Italy who is 4x World Champion and 2x European Champion.

The purpose of the first level training is to acquire a technical, tactical, strategic and mental base of modern Point Fight. The content of the trainings are different each time so participants can take part as many times as they want learning each time different ‘intensive point fight secrets', this way gaining a better perspective to the Intensive point fight mentality

The structure of each training varies, depending on the athletes participating and their level of skills.

The training is for those who plan to improve their fighting style by working on basic techniques in point combat and learn how to use it in the competitive environment.

The training is also for instructors or masters who are open minded and want to learn new things in the methodology of Point Fight and try a new approach to fighting.

The training is for the talented young athletes who want to grow in a competitive environment and need to learn to fight in a high levelled training.

The Lingfeild Park Racecourse was the venue for the 2010 Sports Awards. Kickboxkarate were nominated for team of the year in early January other nominations included: Dorking Rugby Club, Westcott Cricket Club and Dorking Athletics Club in the same category. Sean McCarthy instructor of kickboxkarate was also nominated for sports personality. 

The results were sent out a few weeks before the awards night so Sean knew that Kickboxkarate  had won team of the year before the awards night. As a surprise Sean didn't tell the team the results. 

Nine members and people who help out at the club were invited to attend the presentation night. 

The night included a three course meal with complementary drinks all night. The awards was presented by Nicolas Owen the famous news presenter and a player from the England womens national cricket team.

Team Kickboxkarate would like to thank everyone who voted. Please have a read of the next dorking advertiser to see the write up.
