OUR STORY

Fighting Fit was founded by Sensei Okee Okende a 3rd dan black belt in karate. A mom, who knew Sensei Okee from the karate classes, asked if he could train a group of moms on a Friday morning where they do fitness and self defence. .

One Friday morning session turned into three sessions a week with people of all ages, fitness levels and men also joining the group.

A kids kickboxing class was also established after there was a request from the moms to bring their kids..
