Two members of Dorset Lau Gar based in Blandford Forum emerged as champions and won title belts at the WKU British Open Championships at Wolverhampton Racecourse.
Coach Shane Blackburn won his -75kg semi-contact points and won a bronze in -70kg semi-contact points categories.
Kate Davey had to be put in a heavier weight category due to no shows in her own categories (+65kg -70kg) but she became British champion in both +70kg points and light continuous.
Shane has recently opened up his new classes in Blandford Forum after having to close temporarily due to Covid-19 restrictions. Classes are held every Monday and Thursday at R Lukins Gym, Pimperne, in the studio.
Shane broke his neck in 2018 and was told by his surgeon and doctors he would not be able to fight again but since his injury has gone on to be a multiple British, European and World champion.
