Martial Arts Superstars Thrilled To Be Back In The Gym
Life has been very different for ONE Championship’s elite martial artists during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it looks like normality is finally on the horizon.
Some governments have begun to ease restrictions on gyms – particularly for professional athletes – and the superstars have raced back to resume their training.
It might take time for these athletes to regain their regular fitness levels, but it’s clear they have even more enthusiasm than usual after so much time away.
Check out these videos and photos from various ONE Championship heroes as they get back to doing what they do best.
