K-Star fighters perform well at the Ramada

A great night for K-Star fighters at the Ramada hotel in Sutton at the weekend.

Steve Logan said it was great to have fighters from all 3 of the K-Star Academies fighting, it just shows the depth of talent we have at K-Star.

Damien Trainor gets robbed in Hong Kong!

IKF World Champion Damien Trainor recently fought in Hong Kong against Bryan 'Stormy Kid'

Damien fought brilliantly but got robbed by the judges!

Damien outclassed his opponent in every round, but the home town won!

Very disappointing end to a great show. The WMC I1 show is one of the biggest in Hong Kong and was very well run, but the judging in this fight was outrageous.

Damien is now back at K-Star where he teaches at K-Star’s Perry Barr academy, a couple of days rest, then Damien will be training hard with his instructor Steve Logan for his next fight at the end of may.

Nathan Bendon and Ryan Subhan win British Titles AGAIN!!

 

Two Schoolboy fighters from K-Star proved once again that they are the best Thai Boxers in Britain!!

15 year old Ryan Subhan and 16 year old Nathan Bendon who train at K-Star Thai Boxing academy in Sutton Coldfield, fought off competitors from all over the country at the open British Championships on Saturday.

This was the second year in a row that Ryan who is a pupil at Kingsbury Sports College has won the coveted British title and Nathan who is a pupil at Plantsbrook school in Sutton Coldfield won the title for an incredible 3rd year!!

K-Star Director Steve Logan said ‘ everyone at K-Star is very proud of the boys, they train incredibly hard and are fantastic ambassadors for K-Star. The standard at the Championships this year was much higher, so they did great to retain their titles, they re part of the next generation of K-Star superstars.’

Both boys started training just as a hobby and a way to keep fit and gain confidence, but as that confidence grew they decided to try competing and haven’t look back. Nathan has also started working part time at K-Star in Sutton town centre and one day hopes to become an instructor.

K-Star had 11 competitors in the Championships and as well as Ryan and Nathan they also had 2 Bronze medallists, 9yr old Lewis Coley and 10yr old Luke Christopher. Other competitors were, Sohan Akhram, Bradley Coley, Naffess Khan, Ellis Adcock, Orlana McGonigle, Bilal Hussain and Georgia Shoker.

K-Star have had a long tradition of producing champions over the years and now have 3 full-time Thai Boxing academies, Sutton Coldfield, Perry Barr and Birmingham City Centre.
