Biography

My name is Ash Stocker I am 21 years old from Camberley in Surrey, I am currently a full time martial arts athlete training 5 days a week, 2-3 times a day. Specialising in kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ).

In this sport funding is scarce, and as you will appreciate it is very challenging to make a living and dedicate the amount of time needed to train in order to succeed. With this in mind I am looking for generous people, or businesses like yourselves to sponsor me or donate your services to help lighten the load. No matter how big or small your generosity will be greatly appreciated.

What does your generosity do? 

Your donations will be used to enable me to reach my full potential, by supporting me with training costs and the cost of competing globally etc. But most importantly your funding will be the back bone in supporting me to work alongside our future generation, by using my skills and experience to transform their lives and bettering local communities. What this means is that I use my experience and skills which I have learned from martial arts and act as a mentor for troubled youths helping them to become more focused, confident and self disciplined. Not because I want them to be a ‘world champion kick boxer’ but because I want them to see that they can become a world champion in life, showing them they can achieve anything they want to achieve. You Can help me directly on pledgie please take a look.

I have what it takes

There is no doubt in my mind that I have what it takes to get to the top of my sport. I have a very experienced team of athletes and coaches around me who also believe I will achieve my goals. It is my goal to become world champion in kickboxing and BJJ in the next 5 years.

I currently fight at white belt under 70kg in BJJ and have been training in this discipline for 1.5 years. Becoming British Champion in April 2011 and taking 5^th place in the Europeans in January 2011. With your funding I am looking to go back to the Europeans in 2012, then the world championships in June 2012.

I am a black belt in kickboxing and have been studying kickboxing for the last 3 years and teaching for 1.5 years. This summer I have a very good chance of being selected for the ISKA Great British kickboxing team, from there I will be invited to the world championships in Italy which takes place in October 2011.
