March 20th 2020 The government announced the UK ๐ฌ๐ง lockdown which saw schools, leisure, work places etc all shut down which paid to Top Fighter GB ๐ฌ๐ง plans.
Our own road map for competitions would of started with WKC Aberdeen Open, then The Top Ten Open, followed by the US Open and finally The Bristol Open.
We continued to do online training which was a success and when lockdown started to relax we tried to put squad training back on, but with the surge in some areas once again had to be cancelled.
Yesterday we finally came face to face with members and invites and believe me when I say this mid august, summer holidays, people still unsure with Covid we still had 50 fighters turn up to brush of their cobwebs to battle and train hard from 1-3.30pm.
There were some 30 fighters who are away on holiday which we knew and we was very happy with amount of fighters who turned up at the Senshi Academy Dojo run by Benjamin Clark & Lorraine Riley Clark.
These two fine instructors put all the fighters through their paces with fantastic drills, even breakdown techniques so the fighters could understand why they are doing them.
Itโs always a pleasure to watch and also important for students/fighters to take back to there own training ground and apply them in class.
Itโs not everyday you get quality instructors like these two who are feeding you with information to study, with top fighter thatโs what we do and itโs all about developing to the next level.
Taking about next level Christopher Bulpin is your next level fighter this young man whoโs just turned 17 is the icing on the cake and the new generation of champion mark my word.
His brother Bradley Bulpin will also follow in his footsteps, proud dad Rob Bkba Bulpin I wanna know the secret of your success.
Cameron Clark, Ben & Lorraine son is also the next generation superstar and one thing I love about Cameron he donโt fear no one, always willing to call out the best fighters for a fight.
Jordan Imbusch wow speed, power he has it all natural, dad Dean Ufma Imbusch has done a fantastic job along with all the other parents.
Stephen Miller aka (The Serial Killer) Brought his SMWS Freestyle Performance Team from Birmingham.
These fighters were mixing it up and trained fantastic. Stephen said โVery good day and canโt wait for the next squad training in Birmingham.โ
Andy Thompson from Ipswich brought his Apollo Martial Arts club and for me there was this young girl who could not wait to fight and when she did she was electric Ellie Fife absolutely brilliant.
I had to praise her as she was fighting all the boys and not scared to mix it. Sharon Hunt definitely a Ronda Rousey in the making.
Mark Fry always a pleasure to see him, brough his team who gave a great account of themselves, I was little worried about Markโs gloves as they looked shredded ๐ณ
Jonny Vaughan former 8x World Champion in points & light contact who made a guess appearance along with dad Rob Vaughan former England ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Manager.

Great to see Richard Allen commitment as always from day one love ya Rich.
Lianne Jones will have woken up this morning feeling all fresh. The champ is back and eased her way back into training after not pushing herself for a while, good to see her back on the mat.
