Ethan Stonton, also twelve years old, performed very well and won a Silver medal in the -14 Yrs Male Kata category after five intense rounds.
Ethan was also part of the Pairs Kata Team along with Adam Barnes who won a Silver medal in the Male Cadet Kata category.

James Arnold, our English champion was unfortunatley disqualified on this occasion for contact. However, he was fighting well.
All the athletes trained non stop over the summer holiday period and their dedication paid off.

Well done to everyone and thanks to Sensei Nick Issacson for assisting me at the weekend. Thanks Sensei Danny Rudkin for helping to prepare our squad and finally, thanks Fran Salazar for mentoring Carla.

TEAM SEKF!
