Yet another competition weekend! Our team took part in the OMA British Championships in Deeside today and they’re bringing home a haul of 31 medals: 16 gold, 5 silver & 10 bronze!

Well done to all our team members – including Max, Sofia and Liam, who all fought really well and showed lots of improvement. Regardless of medals, everyone did us proud today. And well done to our GTI teammates – Reilly, Logan and Lucas – on their performances too.

Thanks to everyone who coached and cheered on the team, and thanks to the organisers at One Martial Arts for another excellent event!

Well done to our team! There were some tough fights at yesterday’s GTI English Open, but everyone dug deep and put the work in. Lots of improvement all round. Medal tally: 4 gold, 5 silver & 3 bronze.

Well done to Max and Zach (competing at their first tournament) and William (only his second tournament) for getting on the mats and having a go. The experience you’ve gained will make you even better for next time!

A special shout-out to Rod for smashing his first time in the adult category after turning 18 only a few days ago! He sustained an injury in the first round and still managed to win his first two bouts, going on to an impressive final battle against an experienced opponent. A debut to be proud of!

Thank you to our cheering team, our coaching team and to everyone involved in running the tournament. Another awesome day with the squad!

Well done to our team!

We had 13 students taking part in the Flanders Fields tournament in Belgium yesterday. This international event attracts a lot of top competitors, so there was plenty of tough opposition.

We’re proud to have so many of our students push themselves to take part, with four doing so as part of the GTI England Squad.

The final tally was 11 medals: 4 gold, 3 silver & 4 bronze.

We’re really proud of everyone for getting on the mats, including Oli, Raza, Jay, Jacob & Rod, who all came up against tough opponents but still performed well, gaining valuable experience at a high-level competition.

Well done to the whole GTI team. It was a great day of cheering everyone on!

Thank you to our cheering squad for their very vocal support! And a massive thanks to our coaches – especially Nicole, Connor & Callum – for their part in organising the trip and for their dedicated support of our young fighters.

First comp of the year = done. Now onto the next one…
