Fighting talk from MMA

YORK’S MIXED Martial Arts club is gearing up for an exciting programme this term, as two fights have been announced.

Speaking at the club’s first training session of the year, President Herbert van Listenburg told Vision: “We’ve got Varsity in February, which was a great success last year and this time we have about 50 fighters. Everyone is motivated and determined to do well. We’ve grown so much over the last year, that I don’t see us losing.”

“Then in March, we’re taking part in a kick-boxing event in Bradford, which involves around 20 universities.”

Van Listenburg also spoke of the improvements the club have made over the past 12 months, and how more new events could appear in future.

He commented: “We’ve doubled the membership, mainly thanks to the new termly payment which is financially easier. We’ve also stimulated the training for women.
“The grant from YUSU has been a great help as it’s allowed us to hire better equipment and organise seminars.”

“We are also hoping to be part of the British Universities Mixed Martial Arts competition next year, fighting teams all over the country.”

Anyone interested in joining the club is invited to come along to the training sessions on Monday, 10pm-12am, Tuesday, 7:00pm-8:30pm, Friday 6:00pm-7:30pm and Saturday 3:00pm-5:00pm.

  1. The Monday session is at 10pm – 12am, not 10am – 12pm. Other than that nice article vision. Kinda surprised to see MMA get coverage, but appreciated nonetheless.

  2. Today, with the fast chosen lifestyle that everyone is having, credit cards get this amazing demand throughout
    the economy. Persons from every area are using credit card and people who are not using the card have prepared to
    apply for one. Thanks for discussing your ideas on credit cards.
