Six representatives from Aycliffe Thai Boxing recently attended British ISKA regional K1 trials for the European championships in Italy in April 2017. Three juniors; Anna Dooney, Kezzy-Joe Armstrong and Mark Simpson, and three seniors Luke Dooney, Paulie Shaw and Karl Joyce funded their own travel to Sheffield, and over a three hour period proved themselves as capable representatives for the British team. They demonstrated a high level of fitness and impressive endurance sparring over twenty rounds with some of the best national K1 fighters. All six individuals from the Aycliffe Thai Boxing team qualified for the next round, to be held in Birmingham next month, and if they perform at the same high level will qualify for the national team, to represent our country and County at international level
