MARTIAL ARTS: Students from Kidderminster Tae Kwon Do Club tasted success at the Action International Martial Arts Association English Championships.

Sue Kennedy was the highest achiever with a gold medal in her sparring division.

Peter Jones, Adam Inman and Kevan Palmer formed a team to win silver in the sparring competition.

They were just ahead of club-mates Stewart Meese, Edward Jones and Trevor Hodgkins who took bronze medals.

All fighters have put a lot of hard work into training at the Glades Leisure Centre, Kidderminster.

The club now has more than 60 students, including 13 black belts and dan graded members.
