An 'inspirational' kickboxer from Bracknell will be representing Team GB after beating stiff competition in a national competition.

He won the 70k British Title after 'fighting tough' in the finals of the competition.

Nathan, a 2nd Dan (rank) Blackbelt, trains at Bracknell Kickboxing Club and lifted the title for Bracknell's Purple Dragons.
This means he automatically qualifies to represent Team GB at The World Championships which are due to be held in Greece next year.
Nathan's Instructor Baz Cilia was over the moon with Nathan's achievement.
She said: "Nathan has worked so hard to achieve this title and is an inspiration to other kickboxers that want to venture into competition."
Nathan's team mate Kloe Ward narrowly missed out on a final place by losing in the semis by a split decision after an extra round when the judges couldn't give the decision either way.
