GB Grand Slam going from strength to strength
A huge congratulations to everyone involved in making the GB Grand Slam at Birmingham University a success! As one of Kickboxing GB's sanctioned events, it was incredible to witness competitors, coaches, and referees traveling from all over the country to come together and showcase their skills and passion. We hope everyone made it home safely!
Special recognition goes to the core team of organizers: Ian Watkins, Andy Cleeves, Sean McCarthy, Tony Anderton, and Jacey Cashman. Their dedication, teamwork, and attention to detail have been instrumental in growing the GB Grandslam series. These individuals aren't just partners—they're leaders within the community who bring the sport to life with their commitment and drive for excellence.
Since the inaugural event in 2018, the GB Grandslam has grown to host 14 tournaments, with an impressive 11,621 entries from 530 clubs. These are incredible numbers for a national series of GB-only tournaments and a testament to the strength and unity of our kickboxing community.
We also extend our gratitude to everyone who plays a vital role in making these events possible—the clubs, coaches, competitors, parents, officials, and helpers. Your support, effort, and passion ensure that each event not only meets WAKO standards but also inspires future champions. While these may not be world championships, they are platforms where dreams begin, and that's the power and success we aim to cultivate.
With our sights set on 2025, we are committed to building on this momentum and taking the GB Grand Slam to even greater heights. We thank you all for your continued support and look forward to the exciting journey ahead!
