It was a frosty journey through to Wishaw for the WKA Open Qualifier Competition. Patrick was our solitary fighter from the kickboxing. He was joined by Gary from the Krav Maga class who had been dared, bullied and coersed into taking part in the competition by his daughters (who were also competing with their Karate club).
Gary was first up to fight and did exceptionally well for his first competition losing by a small margin to a more experienced fighter. Still for a someone who doesn't train specifically for competition fighting it was a respectable performance.
Patrick was next on the mats and fought and won his first fight. The second round was a tough call fighting Colin Ritchie. He fought well but was well beaten by a far more experience competitior. Thinking that was him done for the day Patrick had his jacket on when he was called to fight the third place fight off. Profanities ensued whilst kitting up but we think it was worth getting back on the mats for this...
