Jo and Katie set to fight for England
Two members of the Pemberton Chinese Kickboxing Club in Rushden are to fight for England at the WKC World Championships in Dublin next month.
Jo Luck, 23, and Katie Grant, 22, have both been with the club for 10 and nine years respectively and have won several honours in that time.
Luck will compete in the light continuous category while Grant lines up in the semi-contact section.
Both girls go to Ireland with high hopes of success after strong performances in the past year.
Grant was only recently defeated by a single point in a contest against one of the sport's current world champions.
Meanwhile Luck has fought four world champions in the past year, beating one of them in only her second contest in the light continuous category.
And the success continued at last week's British Championships in Corby where Luck won gold in the light continuous category at both her own weight heavyweight while Grant took gold in the points section.
Both girls are trained at the Pemberton Centre by Andy Luck and both are also under the guidance of current England BCKA and WKC team manager Alex Barrowman.
Classes are held at the Pemberton Centre on Tuesday evenings from 7.30pm until 9pm and are open to fighters aged seven and older.
