The new year is well underway and after two weeks of classes, hopefully everyone is getting back into the swing of things! 2019 is going to be a huge year for the club, with two major kickboxing events taking place on our doorstep. On May 5th, The WKC Aberdeen Open returns to the BHGE Arena […]
On November 18th six of our fighters took the short journey to Elgin for the WOMMA Scottish Championships. As it was our last tournament of 2018 we were determined to add to the silverware cabinet.
