You might recognize the instructor Fabio M. Caloii who just won a Bronze Medal at the NOGi Worlds last week. Fabio was at our academy in late spring for a seminar and hopefully we'll see him again in 2020.
Our very own Mitch Burke won the WKL - World Kickboxing League Belt with a 7 second KO over his opponent in the first round. Mitch who currently lives in Penticton but makes the drive to Kelowna to train at our academy with Coach Chad and our Kickboxing team.

He said his interest in mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and kickboxing arose after he saw a televised fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) league.
