Last weekend, Master Ali took Aaron, Oscar, Amelia and Alex to Manchester to compete in the first UTA Manchester Open Poomsae Championships.

The team returned with 2 Gold and 3 Silver medals, and also helped out at the event by refereeing throughout the day.

The team are now looking to prepare for the National Championships in December, held in London, as the club would like to take the biggest, strongest team possible to defend their ongoing success on the national stage.

Last weekend we took some new fighters to Liverpool for the NTC 1-2-1 event. Ben, Alastair, Alex & Aaron all competed, winning 3 silver and 1 gold medals between them. Ben was especially impressive, showing an admirable determination against a much more experienced opponent.
