Latest Competition Photos - Welsh Championships

What an awesome day in Cardiff!

Exeter Eagles took 14 competitors and 2 referees to Cardiff to represent the club at the Welsh Championships, and we couldn’t be prouder of everyone involved. From competitors, to referees, to supporters cheering from the sidelines — you all played a part in making it such a fantastic day.

It was a tough competition, but every student stepped onto the mats with confidence, courage, and determination. Whether you came home with a medal or not, you should all be incredibly proud of the way you conducted yourselves and supported one another throughout the day

A special mention goes to our medallists:

Luna – Individual Sparring
Peter – Individual Sparring & Team Sparring
Aga – Individual Sparring & Team Sparring
Ethan – Individual Patterns
Ela – Team Sparring & Individual Sparring
Alara – Individual Patterns

A huge well done as well to Ela, Alara & Zosia for achieving silver in Team Patterns together!

And finally, a last-minute decision on the day saw instructors Miss Searle, Mr Cheriton & Mr Osborne-Whiting enter Team Patterns together — coming away with bronze after a play-off A brilliant way to round off a fantastic day!

Things begin to quieten down a little now in the club calendar, giving everyone a chance to rest, recharge, and reflect on what has been an incredibly busy and successful few weeks before setting some new goals and pushing forward again.

Every single student showed determination, confidence, and the rewards of all the hard work they’ve been putting in over the last few months. Seeing so many students grading together and supporting one another made the day even more special, and we couldn’t be prouder of everyone involved.
