What a fantastic start to 2025 at Fit 2 Box! On Sunday we held our first grading and phase tests of the year, and the results were nothing short of spectacular. From our Juniors to our Youth and Adult members, everyone showed remarkable dedication, skill, and determination 
in the lead-up to the tests.
A True Reflection of Hard Work, Dedication & Progress
The energy in the gym was electric as our members worked to prepare for this milestone. It’s not easy to put in the hours, fine-tune techniques, and push through challenges, but each and every one of you did just that. Whether it was perfecting your combos, sharpening your conditioning, or refining your mental toughness, it was clear that all of you had put in the hard work necessary to succeed.
Junior Achievements: Building a Strong Foundation
Our Junior members (5-9 years old) demonstrated incredible focus and determination. From mastering their basic skills to showing off their confidence under pressure, you have set a fantastic example for those around you. It was inspiring to see how each of you has grown in your technique and behaviours over the past months. You are the future of the gym, and this grading was a perfect reflection of how far you’ve come. Keep up the great work!
Youth Excellence: Rising to the Challenge
Our Youth members were truly a force to be reckoned with in both the Boxing Phase tests and the Muay Thai Gradings. We were impressed with how many of you regularly attended the preparation masterclasses in the three weeks before and for those that did, we saw an elevated final scoring. The consistency and discipline everyone demonstrated during your tests were nothing short of impressive.
A mention should also be given to those youth members on the higher level grades and phase tests. These levels are assessed by continual improvement and progress, and we saw the preparation classes the busiest they have ever been with individual gains at every session. The final assessment session on the main testing day was reminiscent of an Old Skool fighters session with top level skills on show in both padwork and sparring. We also had two of our boxing students achieve Platinum 1 status for the first time in our history, so kudos to both of you!
The hard work is paying off for our youth students, and we can’t wait to see where your continued commitment will take you in 2025. You’ve earned every achievement!
Adult Brilliance: Strength, Precision, and Growth
The Adult members also gave it their all in boxing and our ladies kickboxing groups. These gradings or phase tests were a true testament to your perseverance, resilience, and technical mastery. Whether you were striving for a new level or hitting new performance milestones, you have each shown remarkable growth both physically and mentally. Your dedication is inspiring and sets the standard for others. You are proof that with hard work, anything is possible!
What’s Next? The Spring Grading Block
Individualised feedback is on it’s way to everyone who took part, keep an eye out and work on those further gains! And the journey doesn’t stop here. The next block of testing will take place in early spring, and we’re already gearing up for it. This will be another opportunity to challenge yourself, grow, and refine your skills. Whether you’re aiming for the next level in your grading or you’re focused on further improvement, the upcoming months are going to be crucial. We’re pleased to say that we’ll be hosting masterclasses specifically for our Youth members again. These sessions will dive deeper into specific techniques aimed specifically for the first six Muay Thai grading levels and boxing phase tests. They are always a great way to pick up tips and polish those skills. Keep an eye on the booking app (My Events) for your personalised invites.
