Quality Coaching: To provide considerable training time, quality coaching and concerned supervision;

Social Maturity: To provide players with a healthy, constructive environment in which to develop socially;

Whip Fighting – Our new sport !

Here are some photos of our whip fighting. They were taken at the Longreach Hall of Fame where we are holding shows.

You will notice in one photo how Gayle’s whip is about to hit me fair in the face whilst my whip has just hit her down the front. The whips are traveling at the speed of sound, 343 m/sec so it is impossible to dodge a whip that is coming at you. The key is to anticipate a move and try and set your opponent up for a shot. Head shots are the only ones that count for points during each round. After 3 rounds, we have a 60 second free for all section where we just go at each other non stop. The other photo was taken at Longreach while we were having whip boxing challenges. It’s of Gayle and a local bloke.

The protective gear that we are wearing is a jacket and a fencers face mask. The sound of the whips thumping against your body is amazing and the crowds have been loving it! Contact Gayle for more information.
