Prestige Gym had very busy competition calendar in 2014 including last two weekends which wrapped up a very successful year fully packed with hard training and preparation for competitions.
On Sunday the 30th of November five of our trainees attended the Interclub Challenge, which was the last one for the year. It was a great event with a lot of competitors taking part.
We were very pleased to see that everyone competing out of Prestige Gym had an outstanding performance in all disciplines including boxing, Thai boxing and kickboxing bringing 4 wins and 2 draws across these disciplines!
It was very delightful seeing that two of our new trainees performed way over the expectations, all thankful to their hard work and dedication to a proper training regime.
It was a good practice for our trainees and a great performance by everyone. Congratulations to Debbie, Jess, Iga, Cormy and Dave on excellent fights, great display of skills and outstanding confidence which you guys showed!
On last Sunday the 7th of December our elite boxer, Luke fought for a 69kg Amateur Victorian Boxing Title in Callabria Club. Unfortunately, a viral infection of the respiratory tract which he got a week ahead of the final bout prevented him to train and perform at his capacity. It was unlucky set of circumstances which happened and Luke wasn’t suppose to fight considering his condition.
Regardless of doctors recommendations Luke took the challenge, stepped in the ring literately coughing on his way in.
In a close fight Luke was awarded a second place via point decision and took home a silver medal showing everyone what a true warrior and a real fighter he is.
We wish Luke all the best in the next year for his next chance to earn the place in the State Team, hopefully luck will be on his side!
Overall, it was a great year and great success for Prestige Gym in 2014, with all our trainees massively improving and lifting their game to the next level.
Most importantly there were no real injuries and hopefully the next year will be even greater, fully packed with action!
