Our own Adam Mattis, 19 will be competing in the 30th British Students Taekwondo Federation championships in the A Class (-80)kg category this weekend at the University of Worcester.

He is aiming to retain his crown, having won it last year at his first entry in to the competition fighting for the Univeristy of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) where he is a Games Design student.

Adam is looking forward to it and said “Even though I won gold last year, I won’t be overconfident going into the tournament because the standard of competition is improving all the time.”

Wishing Adam all the best for the weekend.
