Revolution English Title Fight Night 2012

SATURDAY 15thSEPTEMBER

Report by Andy Crittenden, Revolution Founder

September is always a great time on the Revolution Martial Arts Network calendar. Its our 4thAnnual Fight Night and the pinnacle of the Revolution Tournament Circuit featuring the two top fighters in each weight division. There was 36 Fights of Point Fighting & Light Continuous split between Men, Women, Boys & Girls.

It was a great turnout at Parklands Sports & Social Club in Doncasterand there was some great fights, some very close fights and some amazing fighters. The Kids were of a really high standard and the Adults maintained their usual great level of Fighting. The nicest thing was the sportsmanship, professionalism and great atmosphere between the competitors and coaches.

Some of the fights that really were outstanding were Chris Sword & Charlie Ransford, Spencer Blythe & Aidan Hughes, both Joe Miller's fights with Suneil Singh & David Colley and Ian Harrison & Chris Clarke.

There were some outstanding performances including Shea Hughes who won 2 fights and stepped in last minute to face a bigger lad who's opponent didn't turn up. So many others, too many to mention. There was some very good fights, very close decisions and lots of extra time, just goes to show the match making was very good.

I would like to thank all the fighters for giving 100%, all coaches for their support, all spectators and all the officials and everyone involved in running the show. Without you guys it would not have been the success that it was.

This is only the first half of our English Championships, on Sunday 14thOctober we will be holding our Forms & Sport Sword sections, its an open competition with anyone welcome to take part.

Then we have our first ever North East Championships in Newcastle on Sunday 2ndDecember which I am co-organising with the awesome Mr Burns and then in 2013 we will run our first Tournaments in the South including the South of England Championships around the Reading/Basingstoke area.

Also I have been appointed WTKA GB Chief Referee so I will be organising events for them including The British Championships for Points & Continuous and Referee's Courses as well as training and supplying Officials for the World & European Championships. Anyone interested in getting on board let me know asap. First course is November.

Exciting times ahead!
