Our kickboxing tournament at Charlton Marshall was a fantastic success, and a brilliant display of commitment, determination, and sportsmanship from everyone involved. It was especially great to see so many children attending and competing for the very first time, stepping out of their comfort zones with confidence and enthusiasm.

The tournament highlighted the strong sense of teamwork and support within Integrity Martial Arts,  with teammates constantly encouraging one another both on and off the mats. Our teenagers and adults from Taekwondo and kickboxing also entered, and even enjoyed The Flying Kick event.

A huge well done to all competitors, coaches, and parents for creating such a positive and motivating atmosphere. The smiles, energy, and enjoyment from the children truly showed how much fun everyone had. A memorable experience for all, and a great step forward for those competing for the first time.

Hear what people said about our Tournament:

My son hadn't competed in a tournament for a few years and was on the verge of an autistic meltdown when we arrived to the May tournament. Thankfully Amanda and the team were really welcoming and friendly, helping my son to settle in and have a few practice runs.  The tournament was well run and appropriately paced for the kids, with lots of reassurance and explanations. My son ended up enjoying it and even came away with a few medals. Thank-you Rising Stars Team!

O was very happy that she took part and was willing to take part in each event.
Despite not getting a medal she thoroughly enjoyed her experience and got a sense of accomplishment by just taking part and try new experiences with kickboxing.
As a parent watching her in the competition, and from previous competitions the growth in her attitude and her ability with her kickboxing development was fabulous to witness.
The whole tournament itself had volume of positive vibes and made it such a lovely environment for everyone who took part.
Thank you again.

Both my girls competed in the tournament; one competed in the youngest category, and one in the slightly older category and both had an amazing experience. The little ones had no pressure to compete and the energy was wonderful, she made a friend from Poole!
My eldest always enjoys the tournaments, the energy is incredible! Everyone is so supportive of each other, amazing sportsmanship and determination. So nice to see them encouraging and building their friendships.
My daughter was very proud to be paired with someone smaller, younger and a lower belt to give him some sparing experience knowing she would be considerate and supportive.
Amanda, Jamie and Sophie were, as usual, wonderful and excellent coaches to the students. Grandmaster Jones was an incredible support to them, encouraging them, gentle but pushing them to do their best. All of the black belts that gave up there were the loveliest and most supportive people, so encouraging and inspiring. Ima and Rising Stars are the most incredible community, from students, instructors, adults surrounding and parents!
