BackStoke Gifford Students Qualify for Worlds!

The England trails were held in local Thornbury, and saw competitors from all over the country enter with the hope of qualifying in the top three for each section to represent their country. Both Josh & Billy entered the same section for patterns & came away with the top two positions, Billy ranked 1st place & Josh 2nd. Billy also qualified in the sparring section, which left Josh with 4 tough sparring rounds to win his place in the top three of his category. He worked hard & managed to come away with a win from all of his fights & qualified 1st place. Josh also went on to qualify in 3rd position for special technique.

The club will now look forward to Josh & Billy competing in July. They will be accompanied by their instructor Miss Kerry Burridge who has been chosen to coach the England female team in Korea.

The very best of  luck to you all.
