Each contestant Fight Club NI took to the world championships fought their way to a gold medalFive junior kickboxing students from a small club in Lurgan, County Armagh, have shown they can punch above their weight by winning 11 gold medals at the world kickboxing championships.Nine-year-old Steven Gill won six gold medals, placing him third on the leader board of more than 1,500 fighters, including adults."It's an unbelievable result," he said.
The students train three times a week at a small gym in an old mill, tucked behind a row of shops in Lurgan town centre. "It's very hard but it is fun, so it's easy to keep at it - but then the more you keep at it the harder the fights get."Ten-year-old Scott Watson has been kickboxing for nearly as long as he has been walking - from the age of three - and has the air of a professional fighter.
"It's completely changed me as a person," said 16-year-old Laughlin Toland, another WKO gold medallist.
