In just 2.5 years, Jude has gone from a beginner to a proud member of the Kickboxing GB squad.

His next challenge is to compete against the best young fighters from across Europe at the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations (WAKO) European Championships in Italy, from September 13th to September 21st.

Kickboxing, unfortunately, does not receive funding from UK Sport, meaning athletes like Jude must self-fund their training, competitions, and equipment. Since joining Energize Kickboxing, Jude has rapidly risen through the ranks, gaining invaluable tournament experience and earning numerous medals. His dedication and quick learning have enabled him to excel in both UK and European competitions.

To make this trip possible, we are seeking to raise £2,500 through small financial donations from family and friends as well as local businesses. These contributions we help cover the costs of Jude's flights, accommodation, and GB Kickboxing kit and various bits of protective equipment.

Your support can make a significant difference in Jude's sporting journey this summer. Join us in helping him achieve his dreams to represent GB on the European stage.

Donate today and be part of this stepping stone in Jude's success story!
