Just a reminder to everyone entering the British Champs.

The officials are very strict on weight categories, and it goes on their scales on the day, not what you weighed on your mums bathroom scales first thing in the morning, example: the minus 60kg category is 55.0kg to 59.9kg, if you weigh 60.0kg on their scales you will be in the next category up.

Also don’t forget your up to date fighters licence and separate proof of age, i.e: photo copy of passport is ideal, copy of birth certificate if you don’t have a passport, membership card for your local video shop is not enough.

If you’re unlucky enough to have your birthday on the day of the champs, the age category you will be in is your new age, not the age you was yesterday.

Light continuous to the head and full power to the body for the 15 to 17 yrs category, anyone throwing big bombs will lose points or be disqualified.

No head shots, full power to the body for everyone else, refs are going to be very strict on no head shot fights, this is a championship competition, there is no excuse for fouling.

This is going to be a great weekend for junior competition, bring your A game, stick to the rules, enjoy your sport, and may the best fighter win, good luck to all competing.
