Hayleigh Kiely takes on the World!

Hayleigh Kiely takes on the World!

Hayleigh Kiely - Learning Hub Limerick Kickboxing Club

What a month it has been for this young lady. Hayleigh was one of the first ever junior black belts at her club, and after achieving her first goal in the Martial Arts World there was no stopping. She has trained really hard in the gym to fine tune her skill set, and if she was not training herself she would be helping to coach the youngsters. She has been a very positive role model to the young people in her Club and in the Community.

 
On two weeks notice Hayleigh entered the WKU World Championships in Killarney on September 11th, taking home a sliver medal after being beaten in the bout on a split decision. The next day she was back training again, and two weeks later on September 24th she challenged for the IKF Lightweight Senior K1 title and put on a masterclass performance. Showing great heart and determination against a worthy opponent, Hayleigh won the fight by TKO after the third round to become Champion and take home her well earned belt.

 
With the IKF Junior National Kickboxing Championships scheduled for October 1st, she was back in the gym yet again the very next day. With no opponent in her weight category on the day, she stepped up to compete in the next weight division and won her two fights to become the IKF Junior National Kickboxing Champion.


Undoubtedly, Hayleigh's success didn't happen overnight, it grew from hours upon hours of hard work, self discipline, determination and a positive attitude. 
The Club has many more students at the moment working just as hard as Hayleigh behind the scenes and without doubt all their hard work will pay off in the future..... Watch this space!
