As many of you know, we are very passionate about our kickboxing journey 🥊
Last year we both achieved our black belts, and this year I (Dani) took my first steps onto the mats and entered my first points fighting competition. Stuart had already experienced this before, so he returned feeling much more confident than I did.
Stu was absolutely amazing, winning both of his matches and showing his true fighting spirit. I’m so proud to say I came away with a silver medal too. I won my first fight and then lost my second by just one point – which I’m incredibly proud of.
This was a massive challenge for both of us in different ways. For Stu, it’s always the mental challenge, constantly pushing himself to be the best he can be. For me, it was simply having the confidence to step onto the mats in the first place. Honestly, my own courage surprised me.
We’re now back in training and preparing for the next competition in May.
Watch this space… 👀🥊
