๐ŸฅŠ๐Ÿฅ‹ CADETS & ADULTS โ€” COME AND FIND OUT WHAT RAPTR IS ALL ABOUT ๐Ÿฆ–

Thinking about starting martial arts but worried youโ€™re too old, too unfit, too inexperienced or simply outside your comfort zone?

Youโ€™re exactly the sort of person we want to meet.

At RAPTR, our Cadets & Adults classes arenโ€™t about egos, showing off or proving how tough you are.

Everyone who walks through our door is there to improve โ€” and to help the people around them improve too.

Thatโ€™s a huge part of our culture.

๐Ÿค Community โ€” train alongside good people and make new friends.

๐Ÿ’ช Resilience โ€” learn to keep going when something is difficult.

๐ŸŽฏ Effort โ€” you donโ€™t have to be the best in the room. You just have to be willing to work.

๐Ÿง  Confidence through competence โ€” genuine confidence comes from discovering what youโ€™re actually capable of.

๐Ÿฅ‹ Respect & discipline โ€” look after your training partners and help them develop.

๐ŸŒฑ Growth โ€” physically, mentally and technically.

And perhaps most importantlyโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ”ฅ Redefine your comfort zone.

We don't believe your comfort zone is something you simply need to โ€œget out ofโ€.

We want to make it bigger.

Every time you try something new, overcome a challenge, train with someone different or do something you previously thought you couldn't, your idea of what you're capable of changes.

Martial arts is a fantastic way to get fitter, learn practical skills and challenge yourself โ€” but itโ€™s also a brilliant way to meet people and become part of a community.

You don't need to arrive fit.

You don't need previous experience.

And you definitely don't need to be โ€œtoughโ€.

Just walk through the door willing to learn.

We'll help with the rest. ๐Ÿฆ–๐Ÿ’ช

8-year-old Anna taking on 12-year-old Oskar โ€” much bigger, stronger and more experienced physicallyโ€ฆ but Anna wasnโ€™t interested in the size difference! ๐Ÿ˜„

๐Ÿฅ‡๐Ÿฅ‡ TWO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GOLDS! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿฅ‹

A massive congratulations to 11-year-old Joshua Chestnut, who has returned from the GSBA World Championships in Bonn, Germany with an incredible:

๐Ÿฅ‡ GOLD โ€“ Single Padded Stick
๐Ÿฅ‡ GOLD โ€“ Double Padded Stick
๐Ÿฅ‰ BRONZE โ€“ Single Live Stick

An amazing achievement โ€” but for us, the medals only tell part of the story.

During his Live Stick competition, Joshua sustained a significant thigh injury and was assessed by the event paramedics. Despite the injury, he showed incredible courage, determination and resilience, earning a huge ovation from the crowd. ๐Ÿ‘

At RAPTR, we talk constantly about developing confidence, resilience, independence, self-belief, courage and the determination to keep going when things get difficult.

Joshua demonstrated those values on a world stage. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’ช

The Ireland & Northern Ireland team also gained invaluable experience competing against some outstanding international fighters โ€” while experiencing the respect and camaraderie that martial arts should be about:

๐Ÿฅ‹ Compete hard.
๐Ÿค Respect your opponent.
๐Ÿ“ˆ Help each other improve.

As one competitor summed it up perfectly:

โ€œA rising tide lifts all boats.โ€

Huge congratulations to Joshua & Chris Chestnut and David Crawford on representing Ireland & Northern Ireland with pride. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

๐Ÿฅ‡ Two World Championship gold medals at just 11 years old is something very special โ€” but weโ€™re equally proud of the character shown in earning them.
