Story

On 2nd December, David and George will be completing their grading for the Black Belts in kick boxing. The Black Belt grading will take 4-5 hours and involve fitness, technical ability, sparring drills and the Ultimate Black Belt Challenge. Additional challenges also include knowledge/respect, and endurance/humility. 
As part of their 'endurance/humility' challenge, they have decided to fundraise for New Leaf Support. This part of the grading will involve 500 kicks and punches for George and 1000 kicks and punches for David. 

George started doing mixed martial arts aged just 4 years old and now at 7  (nearly 8) if he's successful he will be the club's youngest ever black belt - so please give him your support and encouragement to help him through this massive challenge
