Our team had an excellent weekend at the UKTA English Open, held at the Guildford Spectrum, competing against more than 50 schools from across the country. With only six competitors representing our school, we achieved an outstanding 11th place overall on the medals table — a fantastic accomplishment that reflects the commitment and skill of our students.


Our medallists were:


  • Lacey Shepherd
  • Gold in Patterns
  • Bronze in Sparring


  • Mario Mitev
  • Gold in Patterns
  • Bronze in Sparring


  • Ella Barnes
  • Gold in Adult 1st Dan Patterns
  • Silver in Sparring


  • Danielle Williams
  • Gold in Veteran Patterns
  • Gold in Sparring
  • Gold in Power


Winning four gold medals in Patterns is a fantastic reflection of our team’s strong technical ability and the high standard of training shown by all our students. Both Lacey and Mario demonstrated superb focus and precision, working through several rounds to secure top places in their divisions.


A special mention also goes to Leah and Olive, who performed well in their Patterns categoriesand gained valuable experience for future events.


We are extremely proud of the entire team for their hard work and sportsmanship throughout the competition.  Congratulations to everyone who represented the club with such excellence and team spirit.
