The club already boast a number of world champions including 13-year-old Ryan Sharpe, and thirty-year-old Darren Donnell.

Ryan is an outstanding competitor and his successes include WKKC, WKU, Kwon Open, Combat Athletes Open and several Semi-Tec. The club have been highly impressed by Ryan’s intensive training and attitude which they feel will enable him to stay at the top of his game.

In addition, nine-year-old Josie Carson came second in the world in Italy in WKC Kickboxing world Championship competition
