WKA Kickboxing Fight Night

For the first time the Alloa School of Taekwon-Do entered two students into a kickboxing fight night. The students, Shaun McGill and Andrew Ballentyne were head hunted by the WKA Scotland coach to appear on the bill at the Smith Hotel in Kirkintilloch.

This was an excellent way to boost confidence for the pair who qualified for the WKA Scotland team earlier this year. On the bill were many of the team who will accompany the Alloa pair travelling to Spain in October for the world championships. The bouts were a good indication of the level needed to compete at such a level and will inspire the boys to train hard over the summer. Both the boys were unlucky not to win their bouts, with Shaun losing out to one point in the last second of the bout. However as with all junior competition the experience you gain far more important than the medal.

All the coaches at the school would like to congratulate the boys and wish them luck in their training..
