There was no slowing down for Team USKA this weekend as our fighters returned to the ring for another action packed day of competition at the BLCC Ring Continuous event, hosted by Aero-Kick in Birmingham.
Fresh from an incredibly busy run of competitions over recent weeks, an 11 fighter USKA squad once again stepped through the ropes looking to build experience, sharpen their skills and put their training into practice under pressure.
Representing the USKA Fight Factory were Omari Ellahi, Aairah Mohammed, Daniel Kiss, Adam Mohammed, Rayaan Ellahi, Musa Khan, Isaac Dodds, Zayaan Raza, Julia Glowacz, Isa Khan and Sami Kelly.
The team was coached throughout the day by USKA Chief Instructor Neil Kelly and USKA Fight Coach Mushy Younis, who guided the fighters through thirteen competitive bouts from the opening bell right through to the final contest of the afternoon.
One of the highlights of the event saw two exciting 5 Round BLCC English Title contests featuring USKA's Rayaan Ellahi against home club Aero-Kick's Dinero Patterson and USKA's Isa Khan, who faced the highly skilled Alex Hobbs from Endurance Martial Arts Academy in Northampton.
It proved to be another outstanding day for Team USKA, who remained unbeaten throughout the entire event. Every fighter rose to the challenge with confidence and determination, producing a series of excellent performances inside the ring.
The day was crowned by two fantastic BLCC English Title victories, with both Rayaan Ellahi and Isa Khan producing outstanding performances to secure unanimous decision victories over two very tough and talented opponents in Dinero Patterson and Alex Hobbs respectively. Both championship bouts showcased everything you want to see in a title fight: heart, determination, skill and the will to win, highlighting the technical quality and ring craft that have become hallmarks of the USKA Fight Team.

Days like these are an important part of a fighter's development. There is simply no substitute for competitive ring time, and every round helps build the confidence, timing and decision making that cannot be replicated in the gym.
A huge congratulations to every member of Team USKA for representing the club with pride, professionalism and outstanding sportsmanship. The effort, attitude and teamwork shown from the first bout to the last made the coaching team extremely proud.
Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who came to support the team throughout the day. Your encouragement created a fantastic atmosphere and made another successful day even more special. We'd also like to thank the BLCC and everyone at Aero-Kick for once again hosting a well organised and enjoyable event that continues to provide fantastic opportunities for fighters of all ages and experience levels.
Another great day, another unbeaten performance, two new BLCC English Champions, and yet another memorable day for Team USKA.
Now it's back to the USKA Fight Factory to reflect, improve and continue preparing for the next challenge. The work never stops!
