Once again students from 5 Elements Kickboxing took part in Race for Life in Gloucester Park Basildon on 14th June 2009. We would like to thank all students who took part or supported those who did as this is such a worth while cause. Chief Instructor Tony Willis would like to praise his wife Kellie Willis who once again took part. Well done to you all.

Six 5 Elements martial Arts Kickboxing Students travelled to the fantastic sports complex of Club La Santa in lanzarote with 5 Elements Chief Instructor Tony Willis from the 4th to 11th of June 2009. The course was organized by head of WAKO GB Ringsports Cris Janson-Piers and 7 times World Champion Kerry-Louise Norbury. This is the 2nd year that 5 Elements has attended the course and everyone had a fantastic time training at least twice a day while taking time out to relax by the pool between sessions.

5 Elements Martial Arts Chief Instructor Tony Willis is pleased to announce that he has just agreed with WAKO (World All Styles Kickboxing Organization) to promote their first full contact competition in the town on May 8th 2010. Tony believes that this is the first WAKO Full Contact promotion in Essex and certainly the first in Basildon. The show will be titled The Beginning and will be a fantastic professional show promoting the best in Kickboxing and K1 style kickboxing.
Tony is currently looking for sponsors for the show including those to support the Title Fights.

Basildon Fighter on the Winning Track

Michael Brooks from 5 Elements Martial Arts in Basildon won his Full Contact Kickboxing fight at the TKO Show in Rochester Kent on Sunday 10th of May 2009.

Tony Willis chief instructor at 5 Elements Martial Arts said “I am so pleased Michael showed such great form completely dominating the fight on Sunday. He is only a young fighter from Basildon and has been training with us for a couple of years now but its great to see him doing so well. We have a busy year with the club being invited to match our fighters in competitions around the country. Coupled with this we have just signed up with WAKO (World All Styles Kickboxing Organization) to promote their first full contact competition in the town at the start of next year. I expect Michael and a number of the other fighters to be trying out for the British team going to China next year for the World Games.”

Only a very small number of students at 5 Elements choose to compete.

For those that wish to do so they have to first pass the fitness test in order to join the squad. On Sunday 26th April 8 students successfully passed this selection and will now join the squad for advanced ringcraft and competition training. Well done to all those who took part.

Feel the electricity in the air as this class pushes people to massive improvements in fitness. Extreme fitness is a class for anyone who wants to get the most from their workouts. Not an easy option but massive rewards aren’t easily gained and that’s what this is all about.

Chris Lovell won on Saturday 28th March 2009 at Marlon Hunts ISKA World Title Show. Chris beat a Fighter from Diss over 3 rounds to add another win to the total at 5 Elements martial Arts, Basildon. Chief Instructor Tony Willis worked in Chris' Corner at the show and commented "Chris is making continual improvements and is due to compete again in May so hopefully we will continue to see him winning".

Introduction

In our Tai Chi & Qi Gong Class we concentrate on the health benefits that these can bring. Much of the skills taught come from the knowledge gained by Tony Willis Sifu during his visits to Beijing China and the time spent learning Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Hospital in Beijing. Tony Willis Sifu learnt Tai Chi from Master Paul Whitrod in the UK.

Daytime classes will start in April.

These will include Kickboxing and our new course of Tai Chi & Qi Gong. Check the timetables for more information or give us a call.
