against the best

Hi there this is my first blog of 2010.

Having won 2 European Golds and 2 bronze medals in Croatia last year the expectation on me to do well this year was huge.

It all began in Nottingham in February where the WAKO British championships were held.

I was entering in the under 12 and the under 16 extreme forms divisions in both open hand and weapons.

I was very nervous due to the expectation and due to the fact this was the first competition of the year.

I came away with all four titles which was a huge achievement.

On 05/03/10 I travelled to Dublin to take part in what is widely recognised as the biggest martial arts tournament in the World.

In this competition I was up against the best in the World including competitors from all over Europe as well as America and Canada.

There was a total of 2300 competitors from over 32 countries.

I again entered all 4 cattagories and came away with 3 golds and 1 silver medal.

I am really excited what 2010 has to offer as I will be travelling to Austria,Italy and finally Hungary to represent Great Britain.

I feel very privelaged that I am allowed to travel to all these fantastic countries and represent my country.

I will keep you updated as to my progress and will continue to train 5 days a week in the hope I can bring home a World Title for Great Britain in September.
