15-year-old local Noah Conyers has been competing in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Jiu-Jitsu since December 2020, and he is already challenging the adults at his gym, Whitsunday Martial Arts.
He has won the Central Queensland Championship for three years in a row and in December this year, he has the opportunity to go to Las Vegas, to compete in the World Championship.
Noah’s parents Ryan and Lauren are immensely proud of him for getting this opportunity to compete at this level.
“It's an amazing opportunity for him, just to even go and compete, and to have a go at it,” said Lauren.
“We are so proud, he is so committed to his training, which is amazing.”
Noah is also extremely excited to get over to Las Vegas for the competition.
To help Noah get over there and do this trip Dan Zealand and Anton Zafir from Whitsunday Martial Arts have decided they will host a 36-hour Run Challenge, with 50% of the money raised going to Noah and another participant of the gym to get to the championships.
“Noah is an absolute pleasure of a student, he assistant coaches the youths’ classes, so, he gives back to the gym and it's an absolute pleasure to be able to help him get over there and do this,” said Dan.
“It's a really good feeling knowing that we are trying to raise some money, not only for a charity, but also generate some money to help, to help Noah get over there because competing in another country, in the world championships, in your chosen sport, it is an awesome thing.”
