There is CKA light contact continuous competition scheduled for 9 December in Bury St. Edmunds. All fights will be pre-matched with people of same gender, similar experience and weight. If interested we need to collect personal details (Full name, Date of birth and experience) and the fighter’s fee of £12. Spectators are very welcome at £6 each.
Due to the unavailability of the venue at Kelsey Kerridge the lesson on Tuesday 2 October 2012 will not take place. Instead we will run a lesson on Wednesday 3 October 2012 at the function room at Squeaky Gate, 47 Norfolk Street, CB1 2LD. See map below:
As we need to weigh in between 9:30 and 10am I would suggest to leave at 8:30 (sharp) from the club’s registered address, 222 Histon Road cb4 3hj. In case of any problem please ring me on 07879 610111.
We need more cars please, none of the fighter apart from Alan (to the best of knowledge) has a car so it would be great if we could get some spectators, best if with own car so they can carry some of the people. I would prefer to leave the only car we have to my family so if there are 1-2 cars please let me know.
Fighters must have a full kit of pads: mouth guard, 10oz Gloves with hand wraps, separate foot pads that covers toes and hills, shin guard, groin guard CARISMA T-Shirt (or a plain black) and long black trousers. We have a couple of head guards that you can borrow.
Please make sure you bring a towel, change of clothes and a bottle of water. Usually snacks are available of side but bring your onw food and avoid eating or drinking excessively both Friday and Saturday to be in best shape.
We have finally decided to cancel the second day of the BIG WEEK END and our Kickathon; the weather, once more, played against us and the organisers. Here is a short report about what happened yesterday.
Everything started very sunny indeed and I had an initial regret for not bringing a gazebo and sun screen. By 11am I was considering that a gazebo would have been good but against the rain. Luckily the College of West Anglia allowed us to use part of their shelter.
We managed to successufully run our demonstration at 2:30pm: we under the rain for the whole time so with a total of about 4-5 spectators 🙁
Big thanks to Daisy, Anna, Simone, Dom, Alex, Jarek, Theo, Heley, Sanyia and Penka who joined and helped for the day. Please come and see us today and help us to raise more funds: so far we raised £188.50 so we feel confident we can break the expected barrier of £200.00 we previously anticipated.
The amount of kicks performed on the day was just 150 due to weather conditions so, at the current balance, further 1735 are due and will be completed during classes.
I had a chat with the organisers from Cambridge City Council and suggested that a large roofed area would have helped to keep all sport clubs under shelter and helping them to connect with passers by, promoting our activities. However, as it is raining, very few people are on the park and very little can be done about that.
Join us today and tomorrow, together with many other sports clubs from Cambridge to celebrate sports and promote our club. This ia a 2 days initiative organised by Cambridge City Council where we will have a small stand to make demonstrations and allow people from the general public to experience what training with CARISMA is about.
Come and support us during the two featured demonstrations on stage at 2:30pm Todayy 7 July and 2pm on Sunday 8.
We are collecting funds of behalf of EACH so please come along and donate some money: one of our athletes will perform 10 kicks for each £1 donated. Do far we raised (to the best of my knowledge) £106 so 1060 kicks are already in the pipeline.
