This was closely followed by a trip to Pretoria where nine of Tebbutt\u2019s members competed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tournament went very well,\u201d said Kanchu Alex Tebbutt.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cI was pleasantly surprised with how well we did being that we do not focus on kickboxing as a discipline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese results remind me once again that as a dojo we can go anywhere and do anything and we will shine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephen Boyd was one of the members who competed at the tournament earning a second place.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was my first kickboxing tournament and I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next event,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish them all the best, and know they will bring home gold,\u201d Tebbutt said proudly.<\/p>\n

In between tournaments and training, 31 of the club\u2019s members found the time to complete a level one first aid course.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very proud of my students,\u201d said Tebbutt.<\/p>\n

The club is now preparing for their first grading of the year which will be held at the dojo on April 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhite to purple belts will be grading on the day, which promises to be great fun,\u201d Tebbutt said.<\/p>\n
