Novice Fighters in Wolverhampton
Sunday 5th August at Wombourne Leisure Centre, Wolverhampton was the debut for 4 of our novice fighters.
Chicara Gerrard 34kg, age 9 fought a local girl from Base Muaythai and gave away 2yrs and 4 kilos. A very tough first fight for Chicara she landed some effective straight punches and body kicks doing extremely well and was awarded a draw.
Jamie Shepherd 64kg had a tough fight against a more experienced opponent (2 fights) from a very good camp (Sai Varley's Studio 2000 in Derby). Jamie fought like a lion landing some good kicks and punches. The fight was very close throughout but judges gave it unanimously to the lad from Derby. An excellent performance from Jamie for his first fight, another rising star from Wicker Camp.
Dave Cantor 78kg had a worrying start against a tough southpaw again from Derby. The Derby lad came charging out all guns blazing! It unsettled Dave and it took him a while to find his feet. When he relaxed he started to land clean powerful punches and kicks and at the very end of the first round (in the last 10 seconds) landed a powerful right shin to his opponents neck. Unconscious on his feet he was saved by the bell. Credit to the Derby lad he came out for the 2nd round but got KO'd by a strong left hook to the chin. A spectacular performance from Dave who can't wait to fight again.
Andy Davies 70kg. This was an amazing fight as Andy gave away at least 6-8kg! against a very muscular fighter from Black Widows Muaythai. His opponent came out fast and furious to try and KO Andy in the 1st round. With a solid defence and dazzling footwork he managed to weather the storm. After losing the 1st round Andy picked up the pace and landed a series of solid knees and strong punching combinations. As Andy got stronger his opponent got weaker and by the last round Andy was winning the fight easily. A very exciting nailbiter to watch, but Andy won unanimously on points. Andy too can't wait to fight again.
All our novice fighters were extremely nervous on the day, but demonstrated real strength of character and performed brilliantly. A credit to Wicker Camp and Mick's brutal training. It was sad that our other 2 rising stars Hiren Patel and Dale Gordon weren't able to get matched on the day but we look forward to seeing them perform at Skens Interclub Sunday August 19th.

"Ought to be and could be"
If you treat a student as if they were what they "ought to be and could be", they will become what they ought to be and could be.
