National GTUK Championships

Bungay Taekwondo Club has had another great tournament success in 2011.  17 students from the club travelled the 160 miles to Coventry in Warwickshire for the GTUK National Championships and gained a fantastic total of 25 medals in all belt divisions which is testament to the quality and talent of the students from the Eastern region.

Pee wee (6-12years old) and junior (13-17) students did especially well (in age order with youngest 1st):-

Ben Jordan (Gold patterns) Won 4 rounds of sparring before loosing out to a points decision!

Callum Read (Silver patterns and Bronze sparring)
Reece Jordan (Gold sparring and Bronze patterns)
Saskia Baylis (Gold sparring and Gold patterns)
Jenna Akerman (Gold patterns Silver sparring)
Sophie Akerman (Silver patterns Bronze sparring)
Kal Bedingfield (Gold sparring Silver patterns)
Milo Phillips (Gold sparring and Silver patterns)
Denys Woolley (Gold patterns Silver sparring)
Will Everson (Gold Sparring Silver patterns)
Tom Raven (Bronze patterns Bronze sparring)

Adults (18-39 years old) and Veterans (40+) achieved great success as well with:-

Nidge Bedingfield  (Gold sparring and Silver patterns)

Sue Bedingfield (Gold sparring)
Clinton Gillett (Silver patterns) also won the 1st round of the sparring but got his nose broken again so had to withdraw!

Several other students participated bravely but unfortunately came back empty handed although they did win some of their respective rounds, Casper Baylis, Callum Considine and Martin Sloan all did well and helped support the victorious students along with many parents who were fantastic supporters on the day.

Well done to everyone, the team spirit was superb and we are looking forward to the next grading examination at the end of March.
The club is recruiting for new students at the moment so if you want to get fit for the summer come along to the high school on Tuesday or Thursday evenings from 7pm or contact Clinton Gillett on 01986 892140 for further details. The youngest students in the club are 6 years old and there is no upper age limit.
