Superb 31-medal haul for Doncaster kickboxing club at World Championships in Portugal

Team ACMAC Inspire, which has classes across the city including Balby, Bentley and Rossington, enjoyed a superb week of competition bringing back a flurry of medals from the event.

Sensei Andy Crittenden said: "It's phenomenal. It is the highest standard in recent memory and the biggest divisions since we started attending in 2015. The team were amazing on and off the mat and I could not be prouder.

"I would like to thank Lucy and Tiff for coaching all week along with Hayden who juggles fighting and coaching and Kelly and Aidan who have jumped on when needed. The parents and supporters have been outstanding all week and supportive of not only their family members but also of everyone else on the team. We are already setting our sights on the 2025 event in Niagara Falls."
