The 2019 World ITF Taekwondo Championships were held in Wishaw, Scotland, from 1st to 3rd November. Eight North West Spirit Taekwondo fighters took part, and we’re proud to say that every one of them won a medal. Not only that, but seven of them are coming home as World Champions!
Our 8 fighters won 19 medals: 11 gold, 5 silver and 3 bronze!
The overall GTI England team won 29 medals: 14 gold, 8 silver and 7 bronze.
Well done to the whole GTI team on their success! The atmosphere at the competition was fantastic and the GTI team spirit was incredible!
Massive thanks to all our coaches & supporters, including everyone who supported our team’s fundraising efforts in the run up to the event. It’s the teamwork that makes the dream work!
