Celebration time at Bridgnorth Taekwondo
Bridgnorth Taekwondo club is celebrating after achieving yet more success on the mat – including a bronze medal at the WMO Kickboxing Open.
Second degree black belt fighter Luke Richardson headed to Rugby to take part in the prestigious competition last week.
And despite competing in an unfamiliar category, the 15-year-old used his sparring skills to grab a place on the podium.
It came much to the delight of instructor Gary Plant and coach Jasper Chow who were impressed with the skilled and experienced field.
That success marked the first of the double celebration for the Innage Lane club with 10 students then passing a colour belt grading on June 5.
Under the watchful eye of Master George Cockburn – a seventh degree black belt – each student was graded.
Star of the show was Oliver Hilton who came away with his second successive 'A' pass. But Plant was delighted with the entire group.
He said: "All of the students worked very hard. I was very pleased with the overall standard and increased technical ability."
Meanwhile, Bridgnorth Taekwondo club is keen to attract new members.
