WORLD TITLE

Hi Guys this will be my last blog of the year and what a fantastic few months I have had.
It began when I entered Sony Pictures search for the Uk Karate kid. After 2 stressful weeks of People voting on my video on facebook Sony pictures chose me as the winner and I was allowed to attend the premier of the new karate kid film and meet Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan and Dizee Rascal .
I was given the full red carpet treatment.and I was given £5000 for my club which we used to attend the World Championships in Serbia.
On the 19th of September Team Great Britain travelled to Belgrade Serbia for the WAKO World Championships.
There were 50 countries in attendance who had sent their best 2 competitors from each cattagory to represent their country.
There were competitors from Madagascar, Usa, Uzbeckestan, South Africa and New Zealand to name a few.
I had a good idea that I would have my work cut out having already studied my US opposition on the internet.
I was competing in the under 12 and under 16 age divisions in both weapons and open hand hard style forms.
I have never been so nervous in my entire life and I let this show in my under 12 open hand form.I lost out by .1 to the USA.
I was determined not to let my nerves get the better of me in my under 12 weapons.I produced the best performance of my life to take gold. Standing on the podium and hearing the National Anthem and the words Jack Griffiths WAKO World Champion is something I will never forget.
I entered both under 16 events full of confidence and was really pleased to come away with silver in both events.
All the sacrifice and hard work I have put in over the last 4 years came down to 2 minutes of hard work.I would like to thank my parents and coaches for all the time, money and effort they have put in to help me achieve my goals.
