Crawley’s George Jarvis helps Bradley behind the Scenes at the Thaiboxing Super League

Muay Thai: Teenage Thaiboxers Jack Jarvis and Liam Lambourne returned victorious after their Gold medal winning performances in Birmingham last weekend.

The boys from Northgate and Crawley Down travelled as part of a 8 strong team to Birmingham for the second round of the super league fights where the winners will travel to the International games in Italy next year.

Performing well in the first round last month the Crawley Martial Arts Academy’s fight team were feeling confident and had been training hard all April in preparation for the May event.

It was a tough day for the team as the second round of the Super League picked up pace.  Jack West, Ethan and Bradley Linstead all gave stellar performances but were all matched with strong opponents who nicked the decision.

10 year old Harvey White fought hard back in April and pulled out some of the day’s best performances.  Moving around, making his opponents miss and countering with superior skill, young Harvey cruised through his first two fights.  In the final Harvey was matched with less than technical opponent whose unorthodox style meant he outscored the stylish Crawley fighter leaving Harvey to take second place.

Only 15 years, Crawley’s Liam Lambourne is already a veteran of the Super League having qualified last year and travelling to Turkey for the International Games back in April.

Last month Liam was bumped up a weight division and lost out on a close fight to take home a Silver medal.  One of the hardest workers in the gym Liam was out to win this time around and didn’t disappoint as he showed speed and aggression to win a Gold medal and take home the Super League title belt.

Hazelwick student Jack Jarvis was last fight of the day.  The tall 14 year old from Northgate had a busy day ahead of himself, competing in one of the busier weight categories.  Winning his first two fights Jack only had 4 minutes to rest and recover before stepping into the ring for the final.

Digging deep Jack pushed and pressured his opponent as they exchanged punches and kicks over the three rounds doing enough to take the decision and take home the Crawley Academy’s second Gold medal and belt of the day.

Teenage and Kids Martial Arts Classes in Crawley

By | Kids Martial Arts, Martial Arts Clubs in Crawley | No Comments

Since 1996 we’ve been teaching martial arts to teens and kids in Crawley.

And since moving to our 5,000sq foot gym in Manor Royal just over 2 years ago we’ve continued to expand our timetable with classes for children aged 4-7 years, 8 – 12 years and teenagers before they move into the adult classes.

We’ve a proven track record in taking children from as young as 4 all the way through to the adult classes.

Winning Championship Titles and competing all over the world.

Of course not all of the kids and teens (or their parents) are focused on competing.

For many it’s about building self-discipline, improving confidence, beating bullying at school and adding a positive influence into the lives of our kids.

This short video clip shows a class with our teens being put through their paces.

Training hard and working through a circuit designed to build their physical strength and fitness.

Which ‘in-turn’ helps us all learn that by pushing and persevering.  Digging deep and building character is exactly what we need to grow as adults.

If you’d like to find out more about our teenage martial arts classes or any of our younger, kids martial arts classes then get in touch by calling us on  01293 552 511 or simply enter your name, telephone number and email address in the box to the side of this page.

All of our classes are taught by fully-qualified, CRB checked instructors who’ve had years practical martial arts experience and won National, European or World titles in our martial art and sport.

You can rest assured you’re son or daughter is getting the best martial arts training locally from some of the UK’s leading martial artists.

Our classes run 4-6 days per week (… depending on the age group) and with the exception of Christmas we’re open all year around.

So…

If you’re looking for a martial art that will build your child physically, teaching them the importance of having a great attitude and hard work then get in touch to find out more.

We’d be more than happy to help and — by the way — that’s me walking around in the hooded jumper making sure the teens are working hard and — just as important — working safely.

I look forward to seeing you (and your kids) in class!
