Selection

At the recent British Shuai Jiao Wrestling Championships 2 of our fighters have been selected to represent Great Britain to compete at the next World Championships December 2017 in San Francisco. Competing at the World Championships is an opportunity of a lifetime for competitors and/or trainers.

The following countries have been invited to send their top athletes:

Argentina, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, Canada, China, Chinese Taipei, Colombia, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Israel, Mongolia, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, Venezuela, and the host country, United States of America.

Local talent, world stage

It is also an exciting possibility for the Warrior Gym Preston, our local community here in Preston and Great Britain to send 'home grown' fighters with a very competitive record. Both of our fighters in the team have had the honour of competing for Great Britain as martial artists and Head Coach Shaun Noteman is a previous World Championship Kickboxing Champion. Current 2 x British Shuai Jiao Champion. Antigoni Papapanou is former British Shuai Jiao Champion and current European Shuai Jiao Champion. However, this year, will be the first time the two fighters will be taking part in their very first World Championships, one male and one female competitor.

The challenge is that the GB Team does not have available funds to help cover the expenses of taking part in the World Championships such as the travel, team expenses, team uniform etc. and those that take part do so by their own means. The Warrior Gym would be very grateful if you would consider supporting our team representing Great Britain - whether it be with a monetary donation or some other in-kind contribution.
