Lyla Wins Bronze!
Congratulations to Lyla in Year 9 who represented England at the World Kickboxing Championships in Portugal this October. She ended up winning a bronze medal in the 11-12 years old under 55kg points fighting category, one fight she won with over a 10 point gap! Lyla then narrowly missed out on another bronze as she went out in the quarter finals of the 11-12 years old under 55kg in continuous fighting. This was her first time ever competing at this level and she did her family, her coach and her school proud. Well done Lyla!
