Fight Night Sparta Chuldow Martial Arts
Saturday 2nd of September was the night of Fight Night Sparta held at Chuldow Martial Arts in Wakefield. Nine ring fights featuring points fighting, continuous and full-contact kick-jutsu.
The action was non-stop and a lighter side was experienced with the addition of audience participation in padded Sumo suits between fights.
Special mention must be made of the heroic charity fighters. Two novices never before having been in the ring with only a few weeks training going head to head with a goal not of winning but of raising money to help others. Reece Davison raising £211 for MacMillan and Tony Summers raising £350 for the Blue Lamp Foundation (who help Emergency Services personnel injured in the line of duty). This was added to by on-the-night generosity o £336.59 put into the collection buckets making the charity total £897.59! Both of these guys had obviously worked hard to get ready for the night and put on great show with Reece taking the belt but I think everyone will agree that with that much done to help others they are both true Champions.
Now they say a picture is worth a thousand words….
Fight Night at Chuldow Martial Arts is held Bi-annually, if you are a novice and interested in future charity fights held at Chuldow Martial Arts then get in touch .

Saturday 15th July 2017, a normal Saturday for some…far from it for the four kickboxers attempting their Dan grade promotions at Chuldow HQ. Chris Grace (Normanton), Lianne Lazenby (Knottingley), Madison Virr (Knottingley) and Angela Farmer (Knottingley) were on the mats showing their skill and determination to the graduation panel. Tough enough on any day the graduation was made all the harder by the exceptionally warm weather but all were successful. Chris Grace and Lianne Lazenby were promoted to 1st Dan, Madison Virr exceeded even that tough requirement and achieved 2nd Dan whilst Angela Farmer reached the heady heights of 3rd Dan.
Not to be outdone the Karateka hit the mats on Sunday with Seth Reape (Wakefield), Katie Pollard (Wakefield), James Stafford (Knottingley), Cy Tonks (Normanton), Jocelyn Deary (Normanton), Steven Nguyen (Castleford), Katie Brierley (Morley), Nathan Willis (Morley) and Nigel Watts (Morley) all putting themselves forward for assessment and hopefully promotion. After a thorough and gruelling examination each of the 1st Dan candidates showed the requisite knowledge and skill whilst Nigel Watts pushed further showing more advanced kata and technical knowledge and finally answering the question ‘what is tougher than the walk of pain?’ – the answer would be doing the walk of pain with no one else doing it too! The tests finally over Seth Reape, Katie Pollard, James Stafford,Cy Tonks, Jocelyn Deary, Steven Nguyen, Katie Brierley and Nathan Willis were promoted to 1st Dan whilst Nigel Watts achieved 2nd Dan.
Well done everyone!

A tense morning gave way to an afternoon of success as kickboxing black belt candidates from all across Chuldow came together to see if they had what it takes to achieve the coveted rank of 1st Dan. Chris Horne and Samuel Gardner of Morley, Antony Firth, Dan Brady and Tracey Rhodes-Hunter of Rothwell, Diane Withington, Anthony Withington, Charlotte Scott and Kieron Hoggart of Wakefield all took the test and pushed themselves to the limit to prove successful in achieving Black Belt 1st Dan.
Meanwhile Mr John Lane of Wakefield showed superb skill and determination, pushing the limits further and after a gruelling few hours achieved his 2nd Dan Black Belt.
Sunday of course saw the Karateka take to the mats with a difficult act to follow. Technical skill, knowledge and determination were put to the test with Shakira Withington of Wakefield, Gareth Durham of Knottingley, Lincoln Roth and Nasreen Arshad of Morley all proving their worth with a well-deserved promotion to 1st Dan. Black Belt is just the beginning of course and those with the strength of character and motivation to go further do just that. David Lazenby, Janine Lafferty and Jack Stead of Knottingley and Sandra Hardy of Wakefield are just such people and were successful in gaining promotion to 2nd Dan.
Well done everyone!
