Current Canfordian and World Champion in Martial Arts selected for GB once again
Huge congratulations to Canfordian Aaron B who has once again been selected to represent Team GB at the WMAGC Martial Arts World Championships in Oslo in November.
Aaron is the current World Champion in the Light Continuous Sparring in his age group and will be defending his title at these Games.
Aaron has qualified for all his categories – Japanese Kata, Creative Kata, Kumite, Light Continuous Sparring and Points Sparring. He is already the European Champion for both Japanese Kata and Creative Kata and earned gold and silver medals for all categories at the European Championships in summer 2024.
Tony Diprose, Director of Sport at Canford, commented:
'To be selected for GB in any sport is a tremendous achievement, but to retain this over multiple global sporting championships demonstrates consistency at the very highest levels. We are all extremely proud of Aaron’s success in the martial arts field to date and he is a wonderful example of Canford’s vision for every pupil to have the opportunity to excel to elite performance in their chosen sport.
We all wish Aaron the very best of luck for the World Championships later this year.'
