📣🎉 NEW INTERCLUB CATEGORY 🎉📣
Thrilled to announce a brand new category for our upcoming interclub tournament with our PKA sister clubs at Kickbox UK 🥊😀
⭐️ Adult Semi Contact Points TEAM category ⭐️ adding some strategy and drama to the event 👍
How will it work? 🤔
🥊 All adults competing in the Semi Contact Points category will take part
🥊 Teams of 3 or 4 will be allocated by the instructing team depending on the number of competitors and representation across clubs
🥊 Matches will be until a successful strike scores points (punch or kick! and then fighters swap over (or up to a maximum round time if no score made)
🥊 Winning team decided once all members have had their turn on the mat and total points scored
🥊 Teams decide their order to order to maximise points (ladies will fight ladies)
Really excited to add this new category into the adults competition, giving fighters more matches and working together to get gold 🥇 if successful, we may expand to the juniors in future events
Don’t miss out, see your instructor for more details and get your entries in 😀💪🥊🎉
