Cambridge University Kickboxing Society won yesterday the 5th Kickboxing Varsity match vs. Oxford University Kickboxing Club for a final result of 5-4!

Here is the final fight card with the winners:

Club Fighter Club Fighter Winner
CU Cenan Djenan vs. OX Ben Todd Cenan
CU Daphne Tsalli vs. OX Leah Atherton Daphne
CU Tim Williamson vs. OX Salomon Roberts Salomon
CU Konstantin Semeniuk vs. OX Pawel Grzechnik Konstantin
CU Ollie Osunkunle vs. OX Chris Hinchcliffe Chris

I was proud of the final result although the Oxford athletes performed well and in this occasion demonstrated a distinct improvement of their technique pushing our athletes into some seriously tough fights.

It was a pleasure finishing the day in a very friendly way with the whole Oxford team and good part of our fighters at a local bar for some well deserved beers.

More details, videos, pictures and so on will follow in the next few days.

The next CARISMA beginners course, will start on Tuesday 20 March 2012 to run for 4 consecutive Tuesday and Thursday classes (e.g. 20, 22, 27, 29).  We had a very busy beginners’ course in January (see picture) and we usually have Tues and Thurs classes (our busiest ones) with many people training, between 30 and 40 individuals.

So if you would like to join (or you know somebody who would like to) please do it on the 20 March.

Please notice: you must join the beginners’ course just if you are a total beginnner. Any previous experience in striking martial arts (kickboxing, muai thai, karate, tae kwon do, kung fu, etc…) is appreciated and will allow you to join without without going through the beginners’ course. Please get in touch with us if in doubt.

If you’d like to check our prices please look at this page.

There is no need for booking for beginners: please just turn up at 6pm at Kelsey Kerridge.
