Our ParkerTools Warehouse & Quality Control Manager, Tom Rankine, stepped up to the mat last weekend for a 24-hour Krav Maga Marathon, organised by the local club, AMK Martial Arts & Krav Maga.
This event was the first of its kind at AMK and aimed to raise funds through sponsorship to support the club’s active prevention of violence towards women and girls through practical self-defence training and women’s safety workshops. The participants were kept busy during their 24 hours with guest instructors, technical Krav work, tactical first aid sessions, and even Krav Maga dodgeball and football! At the end of this gruelling marathon, everyone who took part was awarded their next belt as a tribute to their mindset and the dedication that helped them to push through.
Our ParkerSteel Limitedand ParkerTools divisions were proud to sponsor this brilliant event, which raised over £10,000, surpassing the initial fundraising target! We are exceptionally proud of Tom for the effort, grit and dedication he showed throughout the marathon, and a massive well done to everyone who participated and earned their next belt!
