Tebbutts Mixed Martial Arts Academy members keep warm and excel at doing what they love.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe members are dedicated and passionate about this sport, even during the holidays our practice sessions are full,\u201d said the club\u2019s Master Alex Tebbutt.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe level of commitment is not only seen during practice, but also at competitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recently had 16 of our members take part in the South African WTKA Championships, that were held in Centurion, Pretoria.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cIt gives me great pleasure to say that our members managed to scoop 58 medals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tebbutt told the GCN that the achievement is a reflection of the club\u2019s strength.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese impressive results not only show the members\u2019 determination to prosper, but are also a true testament that our club is growing from strength to strength.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tournament was excellent, with great judges and competitors; a big well done goes to our members, as they put on their best performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other news, the club also received news that two of their members, Peyton-Jade Visagie and Frans de Vos, received their South African colours in kickboxing.<\/p>\n

This was after their excellent performances at the South African WAKO Championships, that were held in Cape Town, recently.<\/p>\n

Visagie and de Vos will be joining another club member, Hannah Wedel, who made it to the team (GCN, May 22).<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two South African teams, junior and senior, and these teams will compete and represent the country overseas; we are still yet to confirm the country and dates for the departure,\u201d explained Tebbutt.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very proud of our athletes, it is an honour to watch members perform like this.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have said it before, but I will say it again, the fitness training sessions we have before practice are turning out to be a miracle; since we introduced them the members have been excelling.\u201d<\/p>\n

The training sessions are held every Monday to Thursday, from 6pm to 7pm, and every Saturday from 7am to 8am.<\/p>\n

The kickboxing sessions are held every Monday to Thursday from 7pm to 8pm.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody interested in joining the club is always welcome, even if you want to keep fit, you are welcome to join our fitness classes,\u201d explained Tebbutt.<\/p>\n
