Get Fit Team 2015


Our Annual get fit team will be starting on January 4th 2015.

The team meet every Sunday for 8 weeks for an hour of explosive training designed to kickstart everyone's fitness at the beginning of the year. 

The cost is £10 payable upfront (£1.25 per Sunday) and for this you get to train with likeminded colleagues from the club. 

Of course anyone can go for a jog on a Sunday morning for nothing but like joining a gym unless you pay extra for a personal trainer you require motivation - we give you that motivation and willpower, an incentive and a gentle kick up the arse when you feel like quitting.

This year the get fit team is being organised by Jon Clarke a veteran of the 2014 Challenge..

Boxing Day Walk


If your free on Boxing Day and fancy a 10-12 mile amble up the Dovedale Valley please feel free to join us..

You will need to meet us at the start point, you will also need some cheese sandwiches and a decent brew ;-)

Cost £FREE 

We will be walking up the Dovedale valley to Milldale then returning on the Tissington trail. So the route is relatively flat with just a couple of hills to break the route up!

Speak to Kru Matt for the start point and times!!


Christmas Hats...


All kids wearing Christmas Hats or Jumpers to the last couple of training sessions this year will recieve 5 points :-)

Trust Fund Details..


A few years ago while at a prestigious event we noted that some children were missing out on competitions because the families couldn't find £8 entry fees.. This while we were drinking £5 beers!!

The fact is we are in a very deprived area, some children come from unstable homes, some families are  drug / alcohol dependant and frankly the kids are the lowest priority.

We have had social services referrals for years and boast some fantastic results strongly believing that although individually they may not be champions in the ring they (with our help) can be champions in life - hopfully not like their parents.

The money goes into a separate account and expenditure is decided by instructors. In the past we've replaced trainers so students can run, funded summer camp places for destitute families, paid for competition entry fees and even subsidised training.

Some of the stories we've encountered over the years are horrific.. From a 9 year old who had never seen a cow, to serious sexual abuse cases - we've seen it all..  

Some students donate a few pounds, some £20 a month, simply choose your budget and set up a standing order to the account details (on the poster). 

Thank you in anticipation! 




Kids Camp 2015


We are happy to announce the dates for next years Kids camp. Friday 31st July to Sunday 2nd August.

This will be the fourth year that we have taken ALL the kids away for a weekend and this year it's like it's going to be the biggest yet.

GODO Jujitsu from Northampton have already confirmed they will be joining us again next year so we are looking at another very busy event.

Letters will be going out in January and we will only need a £10 deposit to secure places. The total cost is £50 including Food, Accommodation & Transport.

Places are limited by the site so I urge you to act swiftly. Start by making a note of the date.

Last years website for the event is www.kidscamp.info it's not up to date
with current info but it'll give you an idea
of what's what!

Christmas Party..


We packed over 200 people into the gym
last weekend for our annual Christmas Party and Awards Ceremony.


The awards we're all won by student
/ family and friends votes and 10 lucky students picked up prestigious awards ranging from Student of the year to young leader of the year.


In addition to the normal awards Kru Matt awarded Karl and Lee a special award for  contributions to the club.


A fantastic night with great people!!
