'Runcorn 8' chosen to represent Great Britain
Friday, 09 May 2008
ImageEight martial arts enthusiasts from Runcorn have been selected to represent Great Britain in one of the biggest competitions in the world.

The fighters from Kickback Martial Arts were chosen to compete at the World United Martial Arts Federation (WUMA) World Championship, report Runcorn and Widnes World.

Before competing in the championships, each person needs to raise £650 in sponsorship by November to fund the trip to Athens. The eight fighters who have been selected range in the age between 13 and 35.

Sensei Ann Brindley, who plans to lead the team to the competition, told the newspaper that it is a "big deal", because WUMA is one of the largest martial arts federations in the world.

"It is a totally new thing for us, but if we can keep our focus I'm confident we can return with a few medals. We are nervous, but we are all really excited about it," said Ms Brindley.

WUMA was set up in 1989 by Richard 'Deadly Dicker' Hopkins after he felt instructors in the UK were being treated unfairly.

The federation has grown to now contain over 26,000 members in the UK and has affiliates in over 60 countries around the world.
