Karate World Karate Championships 2011 at Crystal Palace
A couple of weeks ago the Croughton based Karate team won 28 medals at the resent TYGA World Karate Championships. Members Traci Hensley, James Desborough, Harvey Taylor and Ryan Lee Carter all took Gold medals and Master Steve Hunt took back his Gold title for the 5th successful year in the weapons event. The youngest member of the club “little” Louis Taylor came in later in the day with an impressive Bronze medal, an outstanding result as this was his first ever competition. Well done Louis. Well done everyone from the club.
