**RMKB Proudly Presents SUSO13, kicking off in March 2023. If you want to participate, email us at info@rmkb.co.uk now!
In 2017, Robert and Kerry McCallum set out with the idea of raising money for local charities. This was a great year for RMKB as we rolled out our first Stand-Up–Stand-Out Charity Event. We offered a FREE 8-week training program aimed at complete beginners to take them from zero to hero in the space of 2 months.
RMKB created the ‘Stand-Up-Stand-Out’ event. We invite anyone who is a total beginner with absolutely zero experience, 18 yo+ to train for free and at the end of the 8-week training period, compete in an officially sanctioned Charity Fight Night, in a professional boxing ring with a professional WKC Referee, against a suitable match (weight, age, height and ability).
We raise awareness and funds for charities, as well as improving the well-being and general health of anyone who gets involved with RMKB. Every one of our novice competitors has loved the 8-week journey and the experience of competing in a full-size boxing ring in front of a live audience with friends and family. Not only did they learn kickboxing; they lost weight, changed their diets and lifestyles, made new lifelong friends, found a new passion for kickboxing, and shared a truly amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience!
To date, RMKB has hosted eleven Stand-Up-Stand-Out Charity Events, welcoming 140 competitors to take part and the results have been remarkable. The cumulative weight loss of all competitors currently stands at 82 stones! Absolutely in credible!
