Class Updates

2012-02-08T07:31:00.001-08:00

NO CLASS Tuesday 14^th February 2012

Unfortunately there will be no class on Tuesday 14^th February 2012.

Apparently there is a problem with the lights in there that needs sorting and the contractors will need to put scaffolding up to access them. Unfortunately the sports hall is booked so I am unable to offer other accommodation. Please can you arrange to train at another class that week: Monday at Beare Green, Thursday at Ashcombe School or Saturday at Dorking Sports Centre.

For breakfast and evening meals, the hostel has a medieval style dining room that comfortably seats fifty people.

Upstairs is a lounge, originally rumoured to be King John’s bedroom, which is fitted out with comfy armchairs, a games cupboard and library. Downstairs there is a smaller lounge located in the old kitchen of the castle, which has three sofas and an additional eating space.

Situated in the quiet village of St Briavels, the hostel overlooks the Wye Valley, and is located away from busy main roads. The main castle area is surrounded by the original castle walls, making St Briavels Castle extremely safe and secure.

YHA St Briavels has a fully stocked bar selling local ales, cider and a variety of wines and spirits. Please ask about our barrels of local ale and cider.

Fighters:
Jason, Miles.B, Daniel, Callum, Ronny, Daniel.S, Liam, Cameron.S, Lewis, Miles.G, Cameron.H, Ellah, Chloe, Lewis, Tom, Gem, Andy.M & Dave

Please forgive me if any of the results are wrong or there is anyone who I did not mention as we had between Kickboxkarate and SKF about 40 fighters in total who attended. Thank you to parents, coaches and supporters for your help backing our fighters on the day.

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor souls who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt

Italian Open results:
James Harris- Silver
George Harris- Silver

These 2 fighters have been committed to getting up and training at 6.30am completing between 9-10 hours of training a week. They got silver in Italy but both of them were not far off gold. If they keep putting the work in then they will go far in future years

Level 1 Intensive Point Fight Training

Sean, James and George took part in Intensive Point Fight Training in Bristol on Saturday 1st October 2011 with World and European Champion Gregorio Di Leo. 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 pointfight secrets', this way gaining a better perspective to the Intensive pointfight mentality.

Cimac World Cup 17th July 2011

3 fighters= 1 x silver and 2 x Bronze

2nd Place Chloe Tullett- Great commitment to training paid off with a silver but still more work to be done back at the club if she wants to get the 1st place Gold.

James Harris- lost to the current World Champion Tom Evans by 1 point and has shown great improvement over the last year as he is getting one step closer to his current nemisis.

SKF Inter-club results and pictures 29th May 2011

2011-05-30T08:09:00.000-07:00

Kickboxkarate take 20 medals at the SKF Inter-club

Report by Jacey Cashman

The SKF Inter-club is an eagerly anticipated event on the club calendar for many students and this years event held on Sunday 29th May was no exception. The event was staged in Crawley at the K2 sports centre which hosted divisions for all ages of students and abilities with entries from all the branches of the club around the south-east.

At the end of the day feedback was very positive and included comments on a very well organised event, a very enjoyable day and such a high standard from both the children and adults especially from the beginner and intermediate grades.

For some it was their first inter-club and a new experience, for others they were returning this year to try and win their way into the medals and trophies and for the few their chance to retain previous years achievements. The Pee-wees junior fighting kicked things off with the children showing outstanding courage and a range of talent from children as young as 4 years old up to the cadet, teenage divisions. See list below for the awards & finalist for each division. The junior fighting followed with the traditional Karate divisions with displays of great focus, technical skill and courage coming up and performing individual patterns. Then the event moved to the fun and most enjoyable junior Tag-Team event which always goes down well and fun for the kids working as teams.

Before it was the adults turn to step on the tatami's there was a chance for everyone to sit back and spectate the SKF challenge fights. Unfortunately during the last stages of the build up to the event Asil Miralay (Bromley) due to fight Lee Mikrut (Crawley) "unfinished business" sustained a shoulder injury in training and in the best interest of both competitors the fight had to be postponed until a future event planned by the end of the year. However the Club team challenge did take place and put on a great show for everyone watching. Event hosts Crawley drew the short straw and had to first fight team Dorking with their club instructor Sean McCarthy having to step in place for the adult position in his team. Sean (who recently qualified for the GB team attending the World Championships later this year) put on a great display and showed the spectators the highest level of our sport and what a dynamic martial art it can be. However this wasn't enough for the team and Crawley won on wins and progressed to take on Bromley for the team title. The team fight went down to the last fight with Bromley taking the win in extra time, so big up to them but they need to watch their back as Crawley and Dorking are now after them for a rematch.

The event then progressed into the adult divisions and as mentioned previously it was noted afterwards by many the very high standard especially from the beginner and intermediate grades. It wouldn't be fair for the adults not to have the joys of a tag team battle so the day concluded on a high finishing with the adult tag team event. The final award for the competitor of the day was award to Rai Shafiq as chosen by majority (a close) vote by the officials. See below the competitors also nominated.

Some came and conquered, few came and retained titles from previous years, some went home empty handed but with a wealth of experience. And ultimately "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor souls who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat"

Many thanks to all the volunteers, referees and helpers for whom without the event isn't possible. Well done to everyone who took part and thank you for all your support and making it a great, fun and enjoyable day.

Until next time..... May the force be with you - JC24

INTENSIVE POINT FIGHT TRAINING BRISTOL

2011-03-21T06:50:00.000-07:00

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 19^th and 20^th 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.

Sports Awards 2010 Kickboxkarate Winners!

2011-03-04T01:23:00.000-08:00

Kickboxkarate win the 2010 Sports Awards team of the year

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.

Team Spirit

2011-02-25T08:15:00.000-08:00

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.

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.

Kickboxkarate at Hell Day 2010

2011-01-26T15:26:00.000-08:00

Kickboxkarate at Hell Day 2010
Instructors Sean McCarthy and Jacey Cashman took part in Hell Day 2010. Check out the video of our experience:

What is Hell Day The name says it all.
Many years ago Corey Cain (5x World Champion, World Taekwondo Champion and several times kickboxing champion) organised a training session for serious Martial Artists of a high standard who need something extra than your normal every day training session. He selected people who he considered were true Martial arts practitioners and who loved to fight or train hard. No politics, no hype, just pure, raw hard training ‘til you drop. He called it Hell Day and those that took up the challenge found out why he had named it so. Hell Day has been going since 1997 and it’s great to see the true warriors coming back every year and introducing new people to the unforgettable feeling. Once again it was that time to get together whether you practice Kickboxing, Tae-Kwon-do, Kung Fu of Sport Karate and assess what you are truly made of.

Why is there a need for HELL DAY?It’s simple. When you reach a high standard, you get stale and cannot create any ‘magic’ in your training unless you have somebody of a similar level or even higher level to stimulate you, both physically and mentally. Many of you teach students and cannot spar with them in the manner in which you would like to because your ability is too high for them, therefore you cannot excel. You cannot reach the point of mercy on your own without others of the same mindset around you supporting you.

It is a day of beasting for all those who like to challenge themselves and really find out what they are made of both physically and metally.

Feel free to comment on this Blog. What did you think of the video?
