Nothing best than doing something different and challenging with your bestie, and what a bloody machine she is 🙌🔥

Not bad for a couple of grumpy middle aged mums 😏😏

We’ll be back

13 years at and I just decide to sign up for lifetime membership

I absolutely love these buggers, and the community they have created, nurture, and inspire

Beyond grateful for all of it, the family I chose, they have no idea the difference they make

We still like to act like dicks though, can’t be serious all the time now can we 😆🤭

Here’s to the next 13 years 🙌🙌

And that’s a wrap…

Last day in Leeds and our JoJo and Adam on air before they shut the doors

I have the most amazing memories of this place - from constantly going out with the 4am club, to having to grow up, having a kid and actually having to work hard 🤣

There’s been so much love and laughter in this place, it’s the end of an era and I’m a little gutted - Global will still be here but Capital Yorkshires BEST show is no more

15 years of my life with the most incredible people, thank you to everyone who’s walked in and out of those doors ❤️

WKO English Championships 🙌💥💪🙏

This holiday tradition will never grow old ❤️

Daddy and Daughter Number 2

Happy Anniversary to you my love

So much learning and growth through our 11 years together and all the ups and downs have made us so much stronger

No one knows you or understands you like I do and I’m so happy to continue this journey together for all the years to come

I will always have your back, whether I agree with you or not - allowing each other to be honest and vulnerable without judgment and with understanding is what helps any relationship evolve

We never sit still, but that’s us and we manage to cram so much fun, hardwork and genuine growth into our day to day - life is for living after all 🙌

I love you fiercely pookey, can’t wait for the next adventure ❤️

Let’s go 🙌💪💥

Merry Christmas from our home to yours 🎄🎅🏻❤️

I’ve written this about 20 times, it’s a struggle to put into words the incredible experience I’ve had over the last week, something that will be locked in the memory book for the rest of my life

On Wednesday 18th, 23 fighters from TCA, 4 coaches and a boat load of parents and supporters, flew over to Munich, Germany to compete in the ISKA World Championships 2023

As a team, we completed 123 fights & won 43 medals between us - 11 gold, 12 silver, 20 bronze over 3 days of tough competition

Personally, I had 10 fights & won 4 bronze across 5 disciplines. My categories were 18+ so I fought women much younger than me &, as the upper weight limit wasn’t there, sometimes heavier

Having only done 1 fight previous, the idea was to go & take some experience from the whole thing

I ended up having the most fights out of the entire team (me & our Cal) because I managed to WIN quite a few. The opponents were tough but each time I lost a fight, it was to the overall winner

I learnt so much, the whole thing was thrilling, overwhelming, emotional, nerve racking but something I will cherish forever

It wasn’t just the fighting, it was the community, the love and support that was there in spades, the tears & the massive belly laughs

I always said being part of a team is the most rewarding, special thing in the world but I didn’t get the true concept of TEAM until I experienced this

Thank you gang, thank you to the team mates who may be young but are way beyond their years, you Inspire me massively - thank you to the parents who saw me as one of their own & made sure I didn’t have to worry about anything, I truly felt loved & supported - & thank you to the coaches, seeing what you do properly, in real time, your bond with the kids, the time & care, the amount of yourself you give, the calmness & focus you help to produce in the ring is unbelievable

I can’t tag you all, but know I feel eternally grateful & blessed to know you, to spend time with you & mostly to be in Team TCA

I always said you should live life outside your comfort zone, it’s where true growth happens, & boy have I grown this week

Proud of us, proud of me, my body is broken but my heart is full ❤️🙌
