February News
I am still buzzing over how much ass everyone has been kicking lately as I write this. February saw the fight team rack up another 7 wins in MMA, with Liam Etebar bringing home his second title belt after defeating his opponent at XMA fight night in Worthing.
The team has also show their skills in stand up with wins all round in K1 fights and a title winning Boxing match for Gary Doocey.
The whole team competed at XMA in Worthing and the results more than speak for themselves! No flashy gimmicks, bad attitudes or big egos just hard work and great team spirit. I really think that is what separates and places First Gen above other gyms.
As usual there is no rest for the wicked as March and April will be packed full of fights, so make sure you are at the gym training hard supporting those with fights coming up!
I have already reminded you but make sure you buy your tickets for Tolly's fight at the Troxy in April ASAP so he can focus all his time into training and not worry about ticket sales, the sooner we know who is coming the sooner we can book a mini bus so we can all go up to London together, its going to be a great night!

Junior award ceremony and Joe's MMA fight
Hi everyone its been another busy weekend, on Saturday morning the juniors had their awards ceremony which saw everyone show off the skills they have learnt in fitness, grappling, wrestling and striking.
It was a great turn out with 12 students attending inducing Mikey and Zak who helped out on the day.
We will hopefully be organizing an in house tournament for juniors aged 8-17 in January or February so keep up the hard work in training.
Joe Middleton represented the 1G fight team in MMA at the gym xtreme fight night in Worthing on Saturday night. He weighed in at 74kg and was matched to fight Leo Tyson. It looked like a good match for Joe as Leo is 6,5 and fighting a taller opponent always makes for some good takedowns.
Joe fought three 2 minute rounds and quickly displayed some great double and single leg takedowns in each round, he showed good base in side control and was able to step over in to mount to control his opponent for the duration of the round.
Make sure you get some training in before we shut for Christmas! And keep checking here and facebook for the latest news. Happy holidays everyone.
