It was a 6.30 am start on the morning of Sunday 30^th January for these children to travel to Guildford in Essex to compete in the most prestigious of martial art events in the United Kingdom.

 

The results are as follows:

 

David Debono 1^st Place.  Jamie Rasis 3^rd Place and Gafain Hill 3^rd Place. 

 

D avid Debono age 9 fought through all his bouts to take 1^st place in the points section, an outstanding performance.

 

Jamie Rasis age 8 took 3^rd place in the points section and fought through his bouts like a  champion. 

 

Gafain Hill, age 8 a novice fighter took 3^rd place in the light contact section.  An excellent day for Gafain with this  being only his 2^nd  tournament. 

 

Kyron age 7 fought through his category with spectators watching him in Awe! He was outstanding and by far one of the best fighters in his category.  However, due to a fighter of much more experience and of course height, Kyron lost his last bout, but nevertheless he received an outstanding ovation from the crowd.  Well Done Kyron.  Kyron will be taking his 1^st Degree Black Belt in March this year.

 

James aged 9 fought several bouts up to the semi-final where he was winning, but due to an injury was forced to concede and hand the fight over to his opponent.
