You can also opt to complete 25, 50, 75 or 100 minutes of patterns if sparring isn’t your thing. It’s all about challenging yourself for a good cause. Get some valuable training done and raise funds at the same time!

This year, we’ll be supporting Mind, the mental health charity. To donate and support our team’s efforts, you can sponsor them in class or online here.

If you’d like to take part, pick up a sponsorship form in class or download here.
