2025 World Championships
Mr Pound and Mr Akgul are now home from Barcelona after competing in the 2025 World Championships. Mr Akgul won his first round of sparring, unfortunately picking up an injury that left him unable to continue. Mr Pound made the Quarter finals in patterns and finished in the top 10 for destruction as an individual. He also picked up a bronze for his part in the adult male team patterns. A solid performance from both competitors.
