A trio of young fighters from the locally-based Max Force Muay Thai club shone at a prestigious tournament.

The three students attended the amateur rules Muay Thai World Open at the Vauxhall caravan park in Great Yarmouth. 

Max Force had Tyler Taylor of Sholver in the 8-9 years +38kg category, Connor MacLennan of Lees in the 12-13 years M44.2-47.1kg, and Khyla-Mae Johnston of Lees in the 10-11 years 41.1-44.0kg category.

All three were put in tough categories against some of the best fighters in the UK and abroad. 

Max Force ended up with both Connor and Khyla winning silver for the team.

And Tyler won gold as is now the 8-9yrs +38kg World Mmateur Open champion.

Raacting jointly, Max Force bosses Bradley Tunnacliffe and his partner Shaunna said: "We are so proud of all three of the students for not only getting in the ring, but performing to the highest of standards.

"They all represented themselves and the club to the highest of standards. 

"We also had a great support network while over there with 15 of their friends and family coming to support the three students."

Max Force Muay Thai is now based in New Hey having recently relocated, and they now have times and sessions available and suitable for everyone.
