Reporter Daryl Knight spent a week with Asva Kickboxing school.

One of our reporters, spent a week with the Asva kickboxing schhol in Bideford. Where he saw the studants do what they do best "kickboxing".

It was great to see that so many people could have so much fun. Both Boys, Girls, Men and women can take part, from all ages. You Can join the club from as young as 4 year old.

The Club was started by Jason Ashton 7 years ago when he only had 3 members to his name. Jason now has 76 members with the club.

Our reporter Daryl Knight had time to talk to Ben one of Asva's memebers. Ben told me "Iv'e been doing it for one and a half years now. I enjoy helping with the little ninjas." He also said "It has made me a more confident person" Ben also went on to tell me that when his mum was ill, she also started kickiboxing with Asva kickboxing school. He said it helped her get better as it helped with her confidence. It also made him happy to see that his mum is now well and has made so many friends from the club.

It was good to see that Ben is doing so well with his kickbooxing and it was good to see him enjoying the club.

It was good to see that so many people had so much fun with the club in just one week.

I don't think I have been to a club that has such a nice and helpful leader Jason Ashton (Sir)

We would like to thank all at the club for letting us take photos of them and talking to us.
