A little throwback to the weekend. π
Well done to the boys who stepped through the ropes on the COMBAT CON Development Day.
First up was 11-year-old Zekie, who came away with a commanding victory over a very tough opponent. After breaking his foot in the 2nd round, he dug deep, fought through the pain, and still got his hand raised. An incredible display of toughness and determination.
Next was π΄πππππ πππππππ΅ππΉ , who put on a composed performance to secure the win. Sharp kicks, great footwork, and excellent ring control from start to finish.
Lastly, we had jaydenbsh . After only two months of training, we threw him in the deep end against a strong, much more experienced opponent. Jayden stepped in on just a couple of daysβ notice and put on an outstanding performance, falling just short on the scorecards. A massive effort and plenty to be proud of. The future is bright.
A huge congratulations to all three boys for representing Full Force Gym with courage, respect, and heart. Thank you to COMBAT CON for another great event, and thank you to all of the coaches, training partners, families, and supporters who continue to help our fighters grow.
Back to work. On to the next. π
