And while we're on the subject, let's wish Justin good luck. He will be competing at the Arnold Classic in the International Rules Kickboxing Division on Sat in Columbus, Ohio. Justin's put his time and hard work in at the gym and will do well. Good luck to him!

Later,

Coach Bob

Congratulations!

This weekend Justin had his third International Rules kickboxing match and won a unanimous decision. It was a great AND HARD fight. In the first round alone, Justin knocked his opponent down twice and he got knocked down once.
The second and third rounds were pretty even with both guys leaving it all in the ring. This fight brings Justin's record to 3 wins 0 loses. Justin's extremely tough and hasn't had a single easy fight. He's off to a great start.

Emily was supposed to fight on the same card but unfortunately did not fight.
