Coach Troy was an assistant Coach at our Clifton and East Leake clubs and cover coach at many of our classes. Sadly he passed away unexpectedly June 2024.
Troy had been kickboxing with us for 8 yrs. He initially began kickboxing with us as a student, learning the art over the years moving through the grades, completing the coaching courses and reaching the rank of 2nd Dan black belt. He loved sharing his passion and encouraging people to be the best version of themselves. He had such a huge impact on the other coaches and students over this time. His own journey of weight loss and fitness was inspirational, and over time he became part of the fabric of our clubs. Troy's love for kickboxing and his unwavering support for all of us, continues to inspire our journey through martial arts and to train with the same enthusiasm and determination he brought to every session. Without a doubt Troy 'LOVED' a BURPEE (why? who knows) he even completed a Burpee charity challenge (2000 burpees in one month!!) We wanted to make sure we had a lasting tribute to Troy that in many years to come, anyone who trains at our club will still feel his contribution and his memory can stay in the heartbeat and fabric our of club forever. 'Coach Troys Birthday Burpee Challenge' was born on the 18th of July 2024, 1 month after his passing and on his Son Lewis' 13th Birthday. Lewis was the very first student to complete the challenge and we hope many 100s more students will take the challenge over the coming years and help us to continue Troys legacy. If you are celebrating your birthday please take on the challenge. Troy would be super proud and love to see you pushing yourselves to the max. |
