• WHY ARE WE HAVING THE TFC AWARDS GALA?

  It’s pretty simple really – – because we think you guys deserve celebration and recognition, and equally so do our fighters and aspiring athletes coming up through the ranks. 
  
  Most other sports celebrate the end of a season with prize-giving celebrations, like the well known Dally M awards for the NRL.

  But in combat sports these presentations are usually packaged up with an end of year Xmas event and not a lot of the drama we believe it deserves.
  
  There are no seasons in combat sports.  We work year round with no days off and our fighters take no pay cheques on the way there.
  
  When we put this on the calendar way back in March, the intent was part of a larger vision to diversify our community offerings for connection over the course of the year.
  
  This began with our double header weekend in February.  ‘A Decade Of Muay Thai’ Fight Night, followed up by our 10 year anniversary celebration event on board the OASIS on the Brisbane River. 

  
  
  In the mid-year we hosted our largest ever Muay Thai and BJJ Grading event, where Ben Johnston and Darcy Vendy both received their BJJ black belts, and celebrations took place locally at the Meadowbrook Golf Club.

  
  
  We threw in a couple of pop-up sausage sizzles at the gym off the cuff, and then wrapped up 7 rounds of TFC Fight Camp with Fight Night 7 on the 20th of September.
  
  The exclamation point of the year was always leading us to this event, the TFC Awards Gala.
  
  We will close out our 10th year with the same energy we opened it with, high vibes, good times and creating events built for peak moments and core memories, championship mentality.
