2023 GTI English Open: Results

Our team made a great start on the year’s tournaments at the GTI English Championships yesterday! ๐ŸฅŠ

There was a lot of tough opposition, but our team of 11 fighters did us proud, winning 15 medals overall: 6 gold, 5 silver & 4 bronzeย ๐Ÿ’ช

A special mention to Joe, who performed really well in patterns and sparring, only losing out in the sparring by a single point; and to Liam, who fought well to win silver in sparring at his first competitionย ๐Ÿ‘

Congratulations also to Callum, who was awarded GTI Competitor of the Year 2020-2022 in Boys Patterns ๐Ÿ†

We’d also like to say how much we appreciate our coaches Connor, Nicole, Callum, Rob & Deb, for their amazing support of the team before, during and after the competition. And, of course, all the parents and supporters who cheered everyone on! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Well done, everyone! Smashed itย ๐Ÿ‘Š
