MARTIAL ARTS: Steve Baker returned to tournaments after a five-year absence and took first place at the World United Martial Art English Open.
Baker, a hard-working instructor at Stourport's Eclipse Martial Arts Centre, was given a large gold cup for his efforts in Cheltenham.
He achieved the accolade in the advanced men's semi-contact points fighting section.
Baker took on top black belts from all over the country and enjoyed having the students supporting him for a change.
Anyone interested in joining the Eclipse centre can call Will Jennings on 01562 637019.
