What an epic weekend at Celtic Cobras – two gruelling days of grading!
When I first started kickboxing over 25 years ago, I never imagined I’d be writing something like this. Today, three of my long-standing students earned their 1st Dan Black Belts – and to say I’m proud is a massive understatement.
Only a small percentage of students ever make it to Black Belt. It takes time, commitment, and relentless determination – and these three have it in bucket loads.
Huge congratulations to Helen, Gareth, and David – wear those belts with pride. You’ve earned every bit of them!
Also, a special shoutout to Sabrina, who earned her brown belt this weekend. Just two years ago, she came in to drop her daughter off for the kids’ class… and ended up staying to train in the adults’ class – in jeans! Her daughter said, “You always tell us to try new things!” 😂
Well, Sabrina did – and her hard work has truly paid off. Amazing job!
Lastly, big thanks to Rob for coming down to support and for helping me beast them on the pads 💪
