THE Hall Family once again proved one of the toughest on the martial arts circuit when they came away with a host of medals from a recent tournament.

Chief Instructors Mr & Mrs Hall competed along with their children Lachlan and Bella, and their assistant instructor Dan Sneddon recently took part in the ITC Open.

Sneddon had a particularly tough category but earned himself a gold medal.

For Lachlan and Bella this was their first open tournament. Both showed great spirit in their categories.

Lachlan unfortunately just missed out on a medal, while Bella earned a silver in her category.

Mr Hall fought his was to a gold in his sparring category whilst also achieving a gold in patterns.

Mrs Hall entered as her first attempt in destruction (board breaking) and took the gold place, whilst also earning a gold and silver in her sparring categories.

The Hall family said: "People do not always think of martial arts as a family activity, however it couldn't be more so.

"The tenets in the foundations of taekwondo (courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control, and indomitable spirit) fully support a true family ethos.

"Martial arts can start children on a good grounded spirit and can increase their confidence and independence along with it.

"Family classes are available with Hall Family at Hereford Academy (Tuesday 6pm) and the Point4 (Friday 6.30pm).
