Competing in semi contact points fighting where speed and counter striking is essential.
First up was Gee Denne. After finishing 2nd in last year’s event, Gee was ready for action. Although facing much higher grades than himself Gee proved his speed and skill out weighed his opponents and after 8 straight wins, took 1st place without question.
Chloe and Jack Denne were next up in the Kiddies section. It was Chloe’s first contest and she fought hard, earning herself a medal along with the other 10 children. Her brother Jack Denne was also in the same group and after a slow start gained confidence to go on to win 5 out of his 10 bouts, just missing out on the trophies getting a split 4th position.
Last up was Lucy Martlew. It was her first time in this type of event and after some very close bouts and some tough points, won a 3rd place trophy.
