Every Sunday, the fields opposite the 46 Brigade Army Base
in Kensington, Johannesburg are transformed into a community fitness boot camp.
Hosted by 46 KSCA (Kensington Spots Club and Academy), Fighting Fit Kensington is
a complete workout divided into fifteen 1 minute exercises. The community
workout takes place every Sunday from 10-11am and is free to the public. This
is a great initiative for the Kensington community, both physically and
socially.
El Grande – Ultimate Power Challenge
The El Grande Tyre
Once a month, Fighting Fit Kensington’s traditional workout
is extended and athletes are able to test themselves against the mammoth El
Grande Tyre. The El Grande Tyre weighs 700kg and the challenge is to push the
tyre over an 80m course in the fastest possible time. The top 3 athletes from
each monthly event qualify for an annual final and a chance to win prizes up to
the value of R10,000.
EFC at El Grande
The El Grande events are frequented by some of the EFC’s top fighters and a great energy surrounds the event. EFC Africa fighter Wade Henderson was at the El Grande event on Sunday, no doubt training for EFC 13: Henderson vs James Le Roux

The EFC also uses the event to present theirMMA title holderswith official championship rings. This also gives the public a chance to interact with their favourite champions, take pictures or get autographs signed.
