Charlotte Strikes Black Belt Success in MMA

This incredible accomplishment is the culmination of more than five years of unwavering dedication, discipline, and hard work.
Reaching this milestone was no easy feat. 

To even qualify for the grading, Charlotte first had to complete a gruelling, two-day intensive boot camp last month. The weekend consisted of:

  • Saturday: Two and a half hours of highlevel masterclass seminars.
  • Sunday: Six and a half hours of relentless physical grappling and sparring to prove her technical mastery.

The final grading itself lasted nearly four hours and included a spectacular board break using a precision side kick. We are
immensely proud of Charlotte's phenomenal resilience and success.
