TKD Impact Open Championships Report

The competition was held on the 7th December in Brighton and with five competitors from our club entering we were the least represented of the many TKD schools at this year’s event. Despite this two of our competitors still managed to get a medal each.

In the 13-17yrs category Lewis Mott won a Silver medal for sparring and Josh Hickingbotham also won a Silver medal for sparring in the u13's.

Our other competitors Lauren Parrott, Richard Hickingbotham and Emily Hayes showed good integrity and indomitable spirit putting in good performances and the scoring was very close.

Well done to all who competed and many thanks to their parents, family and friends for supporting those who took part, also to Emily Hayes who represented us as one of the Black Belt officials as well as taking part.
