“These children and adults work so hard every week and they deserve everything they get.

“It’s a brilliant end to 2018 for the club.

“I can’t wait to see what the new year brings as we have a lot of forthcoming martial arts events, where once again we will be looking to put Yorkshire on the world map.

“I would like to say a big thank you to all the parents and guardians for their support.
