Title joy for golden girl

STRATFORD upon Avon School student Chaise Hart has added to her considerable string of Tae Kwon Do successes.

Not only is Chaise a second degree black belt but in a recent competition held in Stratford she became the British champion and gold medal holder for sparring for the 13 years and over category.

She is also now the British champion and gold medal holder for sparring for the 15 years and over category.

She is still only 13 but the instructors put Chaise up an age group to see what she was capable of and she proved herself by taking the title.

Chaise also became the British champion for the special technique at 12 feet high which completed a gold medal hat-trick.

These wins all add to an amazing array of titles she currently holds.

Indeed, the only title she does not currently hold is world champion and, as she is currently too young to compete in that event, it will be interesting to see what happens when she reaches 14 and becomes eligible.
