Master Naraine, Jemma and Tom flew out to Portugal this month to take part in the Portugal International Open.

It was an amazing experience for Dorset Taekwondo, where Jemma scored a Bronze medal in her team; she also kept her cool in the first time she competed in the under-30 category and scored higher than expected and beat several other Team GB competitors.

Master Naraine scored well competing amongst World and European medallists. Tom missed the final round by one place.

Overall it was an amazing time that gave a great opportunity for international competition experience. Lessons learned, and onto the Nationals next weekend.
