Moore, 31, will now represent Gatwick Kickboxing Club, based at Tilgate Recreation Centre, in his first full contact fight on September 21 in
Burgess Hill.

Nine of the 10 fighters from Gatwick won at the grading competition in Tolworth while the other fighter drew with someone four years older than her.

Judges could not separate Leah Bell, 11, from her 15-year-old counterpart which helped the youngster to upgrade from a Class C category to B.

Coach Greig Bradbury said: "It was a phenomenal team performance by everyone. The standard and professionalism was superb and the whole day couldn't have gone better.

"They've been preparing so hard every training session and when it all comes together like it did on Sunday, it all seems worth it."

Clinton added: "It was awesome. I put him on the canvas and it's hard, because it's not full contact, you can't put everything into it.

"I'm now trying to get really fit for the full contact fight in September which I can't wait for as well as the National Championships in November."

Other notable performances for Gatwick were David Tonna who won his first ever full contact fight.

After knocking down his opponent in the first round, the judges unanimously gave the win to Dave.

Wayne Golding bounced back from a defeat a month ago to win.

There was also a victory for Rick Brown. After joining the club six
weeks ago coach Greig said Rick was 'apprehensive' about fighting
already but he managed to beat the odds and earn himself a B Class grading.

Greig added: "We had a rough couple of years and we were close to closing down in September but this just goes to show it's been worth it.

"We've got a really good bunch of people here and I've told them to
enjoy this moment because it doesn't come very often."

Gatwick Kickboxing Club welcome anyone to come along and train with them whether for fitness or to fight competitively.
