WHAT A FULL ON DAY for our club today!
Starting off with our intermediate girls intro to sparring in Richmond! This was followed by Zaw Tin joining Miguel Nunez and departing some awesome skills on our intermediate boys class!
Then it was back to the club for more intermediate girls showing some serious skills with Emma Scully and Sari Moore before we had our incredible Wahine getting stuck in for first time sparring! You ladies were incredible and there was NO WAY you looked like you were doing this for the first time! We have some serious WARRIORS in this class…. I’m super excited at what we are achieving together! You blew me away today. What a community!! Kai was definitely earned after that 😂
