CHIPPENHAM Kickboxing Academy can boast three national champions following their victories at the British Championships earlier this month.

Six-year-old Matthew Ajimisinmi, Shannon Younger, aged 10, and Lee Grace, 22, all finished on top of the podium, while there were also silver medals for Ebony Beaven, 17, Megan Lloyd, 14, and Poppy Maslen, 11.

The club are now starting their training programme for the World Championships in Germany in October, where a squad of more than 20 will travel.

Meanwhile, Beaven recently shared a draw with Swindon’s Ada Kyurier in a full contact bout, with a rematch now scheduled for August.
