Endeavour Taekwondo Club scooped medals galore at the UITF World Championships in Poland.

The Southwell-based club were up against more than 700 students from 17 countries, including national squads.

But they repeated their 2022 success and returned from the two-day competition in Wroclaw with experiences to last a lifetime.

The students trained hard in the run-up at South Muskham, Southwell and other venues, honing their skills in patterns and sparring, knowing they were facing the best in the world in their divisions.

Club owner Sarah Harney came away with a gold medal in patterns as a 4th degree black belt.

Her daughter Erin, 13, attained similar heights, becoming world champion in sparring and a medal winner in patterns as a 1st degree black belt.

Other students achieved similar success, such as Carys Coulton-Jones becoming a coloured belt gold medallist in patterns, followed by her son Sammy, 13, medalling in patterns.

The Endeavour team won many medals, including Cosmo Cook, eight, on his first outing, earning a silver in patterns and a bronze in sparring alongside Mavi Deran, who snagged a silver in sparring in a tough category of 14-17-year-old boys.

The toughest fight of the competition was when Rose Harney, 11, came a fantastic fourth in a hard-fought round against a dozen other students.

Endeavour offer many opportunities alongside learning taekwondo and competing, including coaching skills and an international refereeing course.

A family club, they welcome members of all ages and abilities.
