2023 GTI National Open: Results

Our fighters have had a fantastic day at the GTI National Open! ๐ŸฅŠ

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! ๐Ÿ™Œ


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 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Soooo close! But she fought really well and made the whole team proud. Well done, Tess ๐Ÿ‘

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 ๐Ÿ’ช

What a team! โค๏ธ

GTI ‘100 Rounds of Sparring’ 2023

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 ยฃ1000 in sponsorship! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Well done again to Olly, Owen and Callum! And thank you so much to everyone who generously donated to this important cause โค๏ธ

Well done to all our GTI friends who also completed the 100 Rounds and raised funds for some very worthy charities ๐Ÿ‘

Black Belt Grading April 2023: Results

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 ๐Ÿฅ‹


We’re incredibly pleased and proud to confirm the following belt promotions:

โญ Harry Fowler – 1st Degree Black Belt
โญ Owen Gargan – 1st Degree Black Belt
โญ Amelia Fowler – 2nd Degree Black Belt
โญ Connor Murphy – 2nd Degree Black Belt
โญ Callum Edwards – 3rd Degree Black Belt
โญ Chris Davies – 5th Degree Black Belt.

Massive CONGRATULATIONS to you all! You’ve done yourselves and your club proud ๐Ÿ’ชโค๏ธ
