\u201cAmong other things, the members were tested in point and continuous fighting and physical weapons.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe scooped 52 medals, and that just goes to show that wherever we go we always do excel.
\n\u201cI am proud of all the members, their performance was excellent.\u201d<\/p>
Tebbutt also told the GCN that he is pleased with the increase in the number of people joining the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a family joining the club,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe family is moving to Germiston from Cape Town and, because they want to carry on with kickboxing, they evaluated a few clubs within the area and concluded that they want to join us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey said they like what they saw and enjoyed the atmosphere here at the club.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the academy’s recent achievement, Tebbutt said the members are still hard at training.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t let our achievements overwhelm us into relax mode, we always strive to improve and do better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe South African Championships will take place in July, in Pretoria; it is a big tournament that we are looking forward to and preparing hard for.\u201d<\/p>\n
In other news, the club is currently collecting food, clothes and toys to donate to the Loerie Youth Centre, in Bronkhorstspruit.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnybody is welcome to help donate to this worthy cause; considering that it is winter, members of the community can, among other things, donate blankets,\u201d said the club\u2019s Sensei Cassie Stadler.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are also looking at donating to and visiting local children\u2019s homes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you know of a local children\u2019s home that you think might need our attention, please let us know, we have to learn to give back to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Tebbutt, more people are welcome to join the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether you want to learn kickboxing or just want to keep fit, you are welcome, as we have fitness classes that were introduced at the beginning of the year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur fitness classes are held from Monday to Thursday, from 6-7pm and every Saturday from 7-8am.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe kickboxing lessons are also held from Monday to Thursday, from 7-8pm, after the fitness sessions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe members also take part in the fitness classes and it’s working wonders, as one can see how fit they are during tournaments.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tebbutt added that he is proud of every aspect of the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe standard of the club has improved and the atmosphere is great; we are a family,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a lot of growth, both the juniors and seniors, I guess we are doing something good – like I said, we are a family and help each other during practise and at tournaments.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmong other things, we have Spur nights and movie nights which also help us to bond .<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are transparent in everything we do; there are parents who sit in at our practise sessions and we promote this, parents can come and watch their children in action, it helps motivate the children.\u201d<\/p>\n
