Christine Abbott, who trains with Bishop’s Stortford TKD, holds the Featherweight Sparring title and brought the belt along to one of the Dunmow club’s last classes.
She put on a demonstration of her arsenal of kicks before putting the students through a number of training drills.
“It was an energetic class that will greatly benefit our students once things return to normal and competitive competitions resume,” said Matt Howard.
“These are difficult times but martial arts clubs like ours were still allowed to practice even though Essex was on a tier two level.
