What an amazing week at the WAKO Youth World Championships! 🇬🇧🥊

Four Falcons travelled to Jesolo. Three stepped onto the mats in point fighting, while young Cole made his international debut in musical forms after just six weeks of training. A huge shout-out to GB Coach Neve Harvey and Team UTX for helping Cole prepare for the championships.

A very proud dad moment watching Cara compete in Jesolo, following in the footsteps of her brother Cassius, who made his Team GB debut here eight years ago. Cara came away with a bronze medal. 🥉

Harley Quinn, now competing in the Younger Cadets, showed her quality and determination to earn a second bronze medal. I’m excited to see how the next 12 months of growth, both as an athlete and as a young person, set her up for future success at this level. 🥉

And finally, Grace Rigg had an outstanding Team GB debut. She reached an all-GB final, beating the Polish number one seed along the way. It was a brilliant performance, and Grace took home a well-deserved silver medal. 🥈

We couldn’t be prouder of all four Falcons. You represented yourselves, your families, your club and your country with real heart.

Congratulations to Team GB, who delivered another fantastic performance and finished top of the medal table for the fourth year in a row! 🇬🇧🏆

🥊🧠 KICKBOXING — TRAINING THEIR BODY AND THEIR BRAIN

Want another reason to get your child involved in kickboxing?

Research reviewed by the Youth Sport Trust found that physically active children tend to achieve higher levels of academic attainment and that physical activity can support:

🎯 Concentration & attention
🧠 Memory & cognitive function
💪 Physical health & wellbeing
🎓 Learning & academic attainment
⭐ Self-regulation

But here’s the really interesting part for martial arts…

🥋 The research highlights emerging evidence that cognitively challenging physical activities, including martial arts, may produce greater and more sustainable improvements in executive functions than activities involving less cognitive demand.

And that makes sense.

In kickboxing, children aren’t just exercising.

They’re listening, remembering combinations, reacting to opponents, making decisions, developing coordination, controlling their emotions and learning to stay focused under pressure.

It’s a workout for the brain as well as the body.

🥊 Active Body
🧠 Active Mind
⭐ Confident Child

At Fighting Falcons, we believe children’s sport should help develop the whole child.

🎒 BACK TO SCHOOL. BACK TO ROUTINE. TIME TO TRY SOMETHING NEW! 🥊

The start of a new school year is a great time for children and teenagers to take on a new challenge — and martial arts offers far more than learning how to kick and punch.

🥊 Confidence & self-esteem
🎯 Focus & discipline
💪 Fitness, strength & coordination
🤝 Respect & leadership
👥 Friendships & teamwork
❤️ A real sense of community and belonging

🇬🇧 A NEW CHAPTER FOR BRITISH KICKBOXING 🇬🇧

Following considerable discussion and deliberation by the Kickboxing GB Board, we are pleased to announce an important development for the future of British kickboxing.

In 2027, Kickboxing GB will host TWO major national events.

📍 27–28 February 2027: Kickboxing GB British Championships
Ponds Forge Sports Centre, Sheffield (Selection & Qualification Event)

📍 24–25 April 2027: Kickboxing GB National Open Championships (Selection & Qualification Event)
Warwick University, Coventry

This is not a decision that has been made lightly. The Board has carefully considered what is needed to continue developing our sport, creating meaningful opportunities for our athletes and clubs, and building a stronger competitive pathway within the UK.

We believe this structure is the right move to elevate kickboxing in the UK; providing a clear and prestigious official British Championship, alongside a second major event designed to support selection, qualification, and athlete development.

We know that with change comes questions.

•⁠ ⁠How will selection work?
•⁠ ⁠What does this mean for athletes?
•⁠ ⁠What are the requirements for each event?

We’re listening, and we want to make this as clear and transparent as possible. A comprehensive FAQ covering selection, eligibility, pathways and all the important details will be released shortly.

For now, we simply wanted to share the news.

One British Champion. Two National events. One vision for the future of British kickboxing. 🇬🇧

The next chapter begins in 2027.
