Kman’s Martial Arts principal Kman McEvoy said it was an incredible effort as it was the first international for most of the team.
The seven competitors covered a wide range of ages from 10-year-old Emerson Douglas to 63-year-old Shane Ellis.
It was a family affair for Emerson’s family as her father Kevin Douglas and sister Megan also brought home medals.
The team won medals for a variety of categories — sparring, patterns, team patterns and self-defence.
McEvoy said martial arts were for all ages and could be enjoyed individually or with family members.
"We have students from four to 63 [years old] and a dozen families who train together to enjoy the benefits of martial arts, including self-confidence, fitness and self-defence."
The medal tally was:
- Emerson Douglas, 10, four gold medals.
- Megan Douglas, 13, three gold, one silver medal.
- Anika Takimoana, 17, three gold, one silver medal.
- Jared Roberts, 34, two gold, one silver.
- Kevin Douglas, 42, one gold, one bronze medal.
- Shane Ellis, 63, one silver medal.
- Kman McEvoy, 59, one gold medal.
