Massive Martial Arts Medal Haul for Scarborough Club

Members of a Scarborough Martial Arts club have come back from a competition in Hungary with 62 medals.

The team from Desapline Martial Arts took part in the 2022 ICO World Championship's this weekend.

Coach - Andy De'sa- describes the medal haul

The team from Desapline Martial Arts were competing at the Kanizsa Arena in Hungary this weekend. The 5000 seat arena played host to the first World Championship event since the pandemic.

There was stiff competition with just under 400 competitors from 15 different countries.
