Bronze for Ollie in Patterns at The ITF English National Championships on Sat despite a bad hip injury really affecting flexibility. No sparring due to the same injury. Hopefully physio this week can get him ready for The Warrior on Sun. Great effort! ππ@PEchepstow1
Fight Night 2! Sparring with a difference this weekend for Ollie at Fight Night 2! Smoke, lights, walk out music, a rowdy crowd and a strong performance finished with a solid win over the three rounds against his opponent from Revolution TKD.

Silver for Ollie in Helmond, Holland at The 2026 Dutch Open, falling at the last hurdle against his Ukrainian opponent by the narrowest of margins in a very close final. Hugely proud of this young manβs performance in a very international field. @PEchepstow1@chepstowschool

Gold medal in frustration for Ollie yesterday at The ITF England National Championship in Haywards Heath as concussion protocol post Dutch Open prevented him from competing but he managed to get the gloves on to help warm up some Squad teammates! Roll on Warrior Open in March!
Exceptional performances yesterday by Ollie in Helmond, Holland with two quarter final losses to competitors from Spain & Poland in The Open Dutch, including a PB high score in Patterns against the eventual Spanish winner. @PEchepstow1

Final prep today for Ollie for The World Cup in Argentina at a sparring & sports psychology seminar with multiple World & Euro Champion Ursa Terdin in Reading. Next stop Buenos Aires! @PEchepstow1@chepstowschool
Credible 4th place for Ollie in Patterns at the AETA Champs in Haywards Heath, narrowly missing bronze by split decision. No sparring as he nears full recovery from injury but plenty of grounds for optimism after his first comp in nearly 4 months. @PEchepstow1@chepstowschool
Quiet summer for Ollie competition wise but heβs been hard at it for The World Cup in Argentina & the countdown is on! 45 days & counting. @PEchepstow1@chepstowschool
