Natasha, Tara, Sonny and Lauren were part of the 2001 qualifying
team together with Rhydian Tolcher-James.
Lauren returned as Silver Medallist and Natasha and Rhydian both returned as Bronze Medallists. Due to a back injury Rhydian was unable to take part in the qualifiying round for this year.
All participants told the News We would not have achieved this level
without the expertise of Lynne Tolcher-James, instructors and our sponsors for last year, without whose help we would never
have been able to represent Wales at the World Championships held in Austria. We
would be extremely grateful if you would please consider also sponsoring us for this year.
Extra News
Sadness reigned upon the students of the Welsh Academy of Martial
Arts, when they were told that they would not be able to attend the World Championships in Italy this year due to the lack
of funding.
Its a sad time when we have to beg for financial support
for our talented children to represent their country in prestigious events throughout the world.
These children were devasated when we were unable to raise
the funds for them to enter into this prestigious event.
If however, there is someone out there who is able to help us, PLEASE
PLEASE make contact.
Thank You.
