Our team made an excellent start to the year’s tournaments at the 2025 GTI English Open! 
We had 18 students taking part and, regardless of any medals won, they all pushed themselves, worked hard, and did the club proud! The total haul was 19 medals: 12 gold, 3 silver & 4 bronze! 
Well done to Eoin, Kal and Olly K for a great effort in patterns and sparring. No medals this time, but lots of valuable experience gained.
We also had two Black Belt Competitor of the Year trophies awarded to Owen (Boys Sparring) and Stef (Ladies Sparring) for the 2023-24 season 
Overall, an awesome day out for the team! We’re so proud of everyone who took part. Thank you to everyone who came along to support and cheered us on to victory!
