It was a spectacular weekend for the local K.9 Kickboxing Gym, in Motherwell, Scotland. Eight Junior fighters travelled up to Scotland with Coaches Dave Munro, Leon Docwra and Scott Sayer to represent England in the Scottish Open International Kickboxing Championships.

Remy Sayer was probably the star of the team winning a total of 5 bouts, two by K.O in the Full Contact, winning 2 Gold Medals, and completely dominating all his opponents.
Tyler Munro and Chaney Docwra did brilliantly in their first ever International event, winning hard bouts to win their respective Gold and Bronze Medals.
2010 World Champion Jade Munro had to overcome two, much heavier and taller, opponents to get to her final where she clinched Gold, the best she’s fought in a couple of injury plagued years. The whole team were outstanding and did Yarmouth, Lowestoft and the K.9 Gym proud.
