Our fighters have had a fantastic day at the GTI National Open!
There were some really tough fights and a high standard of competition, so we’re chuffed that our team of 12 bagged 15 medals: 8 gold, 2 silver & 5 bronze!
A special shout-out to Tess, who fought really hard through four tough fights, only just missing out on a medal after the last fight went to a frustrating ‘golden point’ decider Soooo close! But she fought really well and made the whole team proud. Well done, Tess
Every single team member gave 100% today and we honestly couldn’t be prouder. When the going got tough, you just pushed harder and that’s what champions are made of
What a team!

Well done to Olly, Owen and Callum who completed the GTI ‘100 Rounds of Sparring’ event on Sunday 9th July! The lads slogged it out in the heat to raise funds for a very worthy cause – North West Cancer Research – and they raised a grand total of £1000 in sponsorship!
To thank them for their hard work, Hope Bear from North West Cancer Research was kind enough to visit our students at the club yesterday!
Well done again to Olly, Owen and Callum! And thank you so much to everyone who generously donated to this important cause
Well done to all our GTI friends who also completed the 100 Rounds and raised funds for some very worthy charities
Well done to our Tournament Team for a successful day at the ITC UK Open!
We had 12 members competing today and they won 14 medals: 5 gold, 6 silver & 3 bronze!
Special congrats to our first-time competitors – Alin, Jake and Paul – who all smashed it! And to Kaden, who returned to competition after a few years out and put on an amazing performance
Even when we didn’t get the results we wanted, we were really proud of how everyone performed. Lots of things to celebrate and lots to learn, as always!
Thanks to our coaches – Alan, Connor and Nicole – and to our cheering squad for supporting the team!

Well done, lads! You’ve done the club proud.
Well done to our junior team! Each of our 7 fighters put in a great effort at today’s BUTL Junior Championships, winning 8 medals: 1 gold, 5 silver & 2 bronze!
A special mention goes to little Olly K, who won 2 medals at his first ever tournament! And to Owen, who fought like a lion against some tough (and taller!) opposition in his first competition as a black belt.
Well done also to Nikola, who missed out on the medals this time despite performing really well in both patterns & sparring.
Well done to all of you! It’s great to see everyone improving with each competition. Keep up the hard work and you’ll be unstoppable
Thanks to the BUTL for a great event!

If you’ve never achieved a black belt, you probably don’t know exactly what it takes to earn one. As well as the years of training, there are always many challenges: physical injuries, frustrations, self-doubt and lack of confidence, to name just a few.
Today, six of our amazing club members overcame those challenges and demonstrated that they truly have what it takes to be taekwondo black belts
We’re incredibly pleased and proud to confirm the following belt promotions:
Harry Fowler – 1st Degree Black Belt
Owen Gargan – 1st Degree Black Belt
Amelia Fowler – 2nd Degree Black Belt
Connor Murphy – 2nd Degree Black Belt
Callum Edwards – 3rd Degree Black Belt
Chris Davies – 5th Degree Black Belt.
Massive CONGRATULATIONS to you all! You’ve done yourselves and your club proud
Another successful day at the office! Our team of 8 competitors won 15 medals at the ITC Northern Open on 26th March: 4 gold, 8 silver & 3 bronze!
We’re really proud of how everyone performed today. Well done, team!
A special mention to Ava for overcoming her nerves and winning a bronze medal at her first competition. Well done also to Rod, who performed well in a very tough black belt category
Thanks to all our coaches and supporters, and to the ITC for a great tournament!
