It’s that time of year where we take some time off to eat some Christmas ham and spend some time with our families. The last classes for the year will happen on Thursday the 22nd December. The gym will re open again on Wednesday the 4th January 2012.

Last class for the after school Kung Fu is Wednesday 14th December, and they will resume as normal the week commencing 30th January 2012. The last class for the after school Dragon Fist Freestyle will be Friday the 16th December, and classes will be back to normal the week commencing 30th January 2012.

It has been a huge year at the gym. Everyone deserves a good break, eat plenty, spend time with your love ones and we’ll burn it all off next year! Have a safe and Christmas and a happy new year. Lots of love from the team at Double Dragon.

We are holding a school holidays weapons course for the super keen Kung Fu kids, who all jumped at the opportunity to learn some traditional pole skills. The course will run on four consecutive Fridays during the school holidays starting at 10am Friday the 6th January, and continuing on the 13th, 2oth and 27th.

Our Kung Fu students are looking focused and have turned their training up a notch, and that’s because they are finishing off the year with a grading on Saturday Decmber 17th. Good luck to everyone grading!

Double Dragon presentation night will happen on FRIDAY 25TH NOVEMBER at 6pm. There will be no conditioning class that day, instead we’ll eat pizza! Food will be supplied, BYO grog. Hope you can all make it!

This will replace the normal kickboxing class. Intermediate/advanced kickboxers are welcome to join in and brush up on their basics.

Our morning boot camp starts back up tomorrow (Tuesday 20th). Come along and try your first session for FREE! The boot camp runs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 6am, and it’s $20 for a casual visit. We have showers and change rooms, and Sutherland station is right across the road, it’s perfect for those city workers. Check out the Facebook page for more info.

Ben Lewis pulled off a big win at PWPIII on Saturday September 3. Fighting against Peter Day, Ben was assertive in the start, working into top position, dropping some solid ground and pound. He then got Peter’s back and coaxed out a tap. A heap of Double Dragon crew were there to cheer Ben on, it was great to watch.

Ben Chan has been boxing in the World Police & Fire Games in New York. he just missed out on the final in a controversial fight (he even dropped the guy)! A bronze medal at this level is still awesome mate, we’re very proud of you!

Just in… Shane Greenwood picked up 4th place in the Camden Strongman (just missing out on 3rd by 2 points)! Good on you Shane.

Another busy few weeks at Double Dragon! Manny is fighting for the CFC title on August 26th against American Jesse Juarez. Manny is training his guts out and can’t wait to get in the cage and bring home the belt!

We’re also in the midst of another PWP show, this time it’s PWPIII at the UNSW Roundhouse on September 3rd. The show is headlined by Richie Vas vs. Justin Wong (Hawaii). Big Ben Lewis is matched on the card, along with a bunch of our friends from TP Gym. Get your tickets here or check out the website.
