21-12-25 - USKA NINJA'S STAR STUDENT WINNERS - DECEMBER 2025

As we bring both our final Ninjas month and the 2025 training year to a close at the USKA Fight Factory, it’s a great opportunity to reflect on what has been an exceptional year for our youngest students. Across the last 12 months, the growth in ability, confidence and mindset within the Ninjas Division has been nothing short of outstanding.

This year, 16 Ninjas successfully completed the full USKA Ninjas syllabus, progressing through every belt up to USKA Ninjas Blue Belt. Many of these students have since moved on to our technical classes, where they are continuing to perform strongly in gradings with some already stepping forward into sparring and kickboxing competition.

We are immensely proud of the Ninjas Division and can confidently say that the overall standard being produced right now is the highest we have seen in USKA’s 30-year history.

This success is built on several key foundations, expert coaching from our experienced instructors and junior coaches, consistent effort from the Ninjas in every class, commitment to practicing skills at home and the continued support and trust of parents who ensure their children attend regularly and allow them to develop in a positive, structured environment.

But we’re not stopping there. As we move into 2026, our focus remains firmly on growth, progression and raising standards even further. The bar will continue to rise.

Due to the New Year break, December was a shorter training month, with 21 Ninjas sessions completed.

In this month’s Star Student Awards, the girls edged ahead, collecting 11 awards compared to the Boys 10.
Over the course of the year, many months were closely contested, but the boys finished top overall, winning 7 months, with the girls taking 5 months.

We now look forward to a well-earned two-week break to recharge, with our first Ninjas class of 2026 resuming on Monday 5th January.

Happy New Year, Ninjas and congratulations on another outstanding year of training. Osu!
