Families gathered at the venue to cheer on their loved ones, while participants gave it their all across various physical challenges. The sound of encouragement, laughter, and motivation filled the air as the dojo came together to support one another.

One of the highlights of the day was the announcement of the 2025 grand champions. These were the top performers in their age groups, chosen for their strength and spirit, as well as the effort shown throughout the challenge.

Winners in each age group received medals and prizes. Participants also stood a chance to win a variety of exciting rewards, including fitness equipment, SEISHIN merchandise, and healthy lifestyle hampers, but the real reward, for many, was the sense of achievement and togetherness. SEISHIN Martial Arts Academy organisers said they were proud of everyone who took part, emphasising that the event was not just about winning, but about showing up, doing your best, and building resilience.
Judging by the many smiling faces, and sore muscles, it’s safe to say the challenge was a huge success.
With such great support from the community, SEISHIN has promised more fitness events in the future, continuing to blend martial arts, family fun, and community in a truly powerful way.
