On Saturday 11th April, Ronin fighters Zac, Lewi, and Rio travelled to Ireland to compete in the ISKA Irish Open in Waterford.
Zac delivered two outstanding performances to take gold in the K1 Light 40kg division, becoming champion.
Lewi secured a strong win in the quarter-finals, but unfortunately was unable to progress to the semi-finals due to a medical issue. A great performance nonetheless, gaining valuable experience.
Rio advanced to the final after his semi-final opponent withdrew. He then went on to claim the Irish Open title with a unanimous decision victory.
An incredible achievement overall, with three winners and two new champions returning home to England.
8 Limbs interclub, 12 students 15 matches. Great experience for the team.
