IMMAF President Kerrith Brown said: “It’s been another stunning day of action from IMMAF’s athletes and great to see that our 2019 medallists have lost neither their hunger nor their edge over the break caused by the pandemic. With the level of skill and athleticism all the athletes have been bringing despite a tremendously challenging time for sport, they have demonstrated true heart, endurance and a strong martial arts spirit.”
