THE very high technical standards of Dragon's students proved to be a great asset at the 7th Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo championships in Bristol last weekend —four returning to Halwill as national champions, two with silver medals, one bronze medallist and one award for bravery.

The high standard of the students is credit to the academy itself which has been awarded a centre of excellence for the second year running.

The competition was fierce and attracted over 280 competitors from around Britain, with teams from South Africa and two teams from Ireland.
