Year 8 student Dakota recently represented Team GB at the European International Martial Arts Games in London, earning an incredible two silver medals.

Dakota trains at Raven Defensive Arts in Mansfield and has been working hard training with Team GB for the last six months.

Dakota will be competing again in November and is now aiming for Team GB selection for the World Martial Arts Games in Dubai in autumn 2025.

Well done, Dakota. Everyone at QEA is so very proud of you and wish you well for your next competition.
