ITALIAN WORLD CUP RIMINI 2010

Hi there on 03/06/10 I travelled with some of the Great Britain Team to Rimini Italy to take part in the Best Fighter Italian World Cup.This is another major event in the international kickboxing calender.I would compete in cattagories which would include soft forms and boys and girls mixed.This would include many competitors from the Eastern bloc countries who are trained by the Russian state circus.I was very nervous but this seemed to motivate me even more and I was really pleased to win both my weapons and open hand divisions in the under 12 age group.I won open hand and came second in the under 16 divisions.I also competed in the trix battle and was very fortunate to win gold and 300 euros.Above I am pictured with my GB team-mates and the seven trophies that we won in total.As you can imagine I had a little bit of difficulty trying to get 4 of these trophies onto the plane home.I now have a break for a bit and will be fundraising and training hard in preparation for the World Championships to be held in Belgrade Serbia in September.
