Stockland Green School is very proud of our very own Kickboxing
Champions, brother and sister Neve and Corben Henderson
They
have been doing kickboxing for two and a half years now with Saxon Kickboxing
Academy in Erdington.
They
train really hard for four hours a week but that goes up to around eight hours
a week during the six week fight camp which runs up to the fights. However,
Neve accepted her English title fight with only two days notice, which showed real
dedication and determination. They both
regularly spar with English, European and World champions and the sport has
taken them all round the country to fight.
Corben has come 1st in his weight category twice in the English Open Championships and has qualified to fight for England later this year in Spain.
Neve
has just become English Champion at Kick Boxing. She will be fighting again at the end of the
year to become British Champion.
They
are both very dedicated to their training and always find the energy to go even
after a busy day at school.
They
are both purple belts and will be grading for blue belts in June which is
already a massive achievement.
Well done to Neve and Corben
