Panthers Crowned British National Champions: 7 Medals from Just 3 Students
Three students, seven medals and five British National Champion titles at the British National Poomsae Championships 2026.
We took a small team of just three students to the British National Poomsae Championships 2026, our club's first ever Nationals. They came home with 7 medals: 5 golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze.
Because this is a national event, every gold is a British National title. Our students were crowned British National Champions five times across different divisions, and every Panther who competed came home a champion.
Poomsae are set patterns of Taekwondo movements, judged on accuracy, power, balance and timing. Students compete on their own, in pairs and in teams, where they have to move perfectly in sync.
This is a dream outcome for us. For months, these students worked tirelessly through our Friday classes, extra squad sessions and 1:1 private sessions to reach this level, and this result is a true testament to their hard work. A big thank you as well to all of our parents, whose support, dedication and commitment play a huge part in results like these.
