Fighters For A Cause

Always keen to help those in need, we received a message from Fidaah Edries, owner at Fighterz Inc.

FIGHTERZ INC. MMA and Sports Conditioning Academy started in 2014 as a community Kickboxfit Boot camp, as well as an intervention to keep youth-at-risk busy with constructive activity whilst teaching them Respect, Discipline and Commitment through martial arts.

 

 

The members’ skills in Kickboxing developed and they requested to enter competitions as fighters. The first competition entered was on April 4, 2015 and resulted in 4 wins out of 4 entries!! Our fighters then entered subsequent competitions and for the year, thus far we have had a total 9 wins and only 1 loss. The need for a full fledged gym then arose and this is where we are today. Our head trainer, Cristiano Ndombassy is ranked third in boxing, in his division in South Africa at the moment, and is also one of the best in Kickboxing/K1.

We are committed to excellence in our training and execution.

At the moment we offer Kickboxfit HIIT cardio classes, for those who want to tone, become fit and lose weight in a fun way. We also offer advanced Kickboxing and Muay Thai classes, instructed by Cristiano as we have a major focus on fighter development.

Our edge, is that we offer our clients as well as our fighters’ individual attention and focus, toward achieving their goals. We are the only gym at which Cristiano trains fighters.

 

We also offer mental coaching/conditioning to fighters, vital in the development of a successful fighter.

 

We work and compete as one team- one family. A core focus would always be to work with youth-at-risk free of charge as we feel that it to be our moral obligation.

Seeking Sponsorship for Youth-at-Risk

We are currently working with 8 youth-at-risk. They are aged 11 to 22 years of age and are predominantly from a place in Athlone called the “Vlei”. This area is ridden with gangsterism, drug addiction, school dropouts, teenage pregnancy etc. Mixed Martial Arts has proven to be a very successful intervention for these youth. As a pre-requisite to be able to do our classes, the youth have to remain in school and show consistent hard working qualities. In return, we offer them free tuition, life skills and counselling support as well. Not only are they able to make personal improvements, academic improvements, but they also show great potential in their martial arts training.

However, they need sponsorship in the form of sporting equipment: wraps (R90), boxing gloves (R350), mouth guard (50), shin pads (R400), groin guard (R300), jujitsu GI (R1000).

If anyone could assist in any way (including forwarding this to respective sponsors) it would be much appreciated.

Yours in youth development and martial arts
