British and European titles for local fighters
Martial arts - Local fighters win British and European kickboxing titles
It’s been a super summer for the Peterborough BCKA kickboxing club with their top fighters picking up a stack of British and European titles. At the WKC European Championships in Manchester there were gold medals for five of their students and four of them were double European champions.
And at the FSK British Championships, also in Manchester, they claimed nine titles and seven silver medals.
The double European champions were Jaden Harris, Leon Gold, Freya Molloy and Abi Daulton with Eddy Paddock claiming one title.
On the British Championship front it was Paddock and Sam Spencer leading the way with a hat-trick of titles each.
Star of the show for the club in the recent Norfolk Open was Zac Culpin with three champion trophies.
