🥇🥇 TWO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GOLDS! 🌍🥋

A massive congratulations to 11-year-old Joshua Chestnut, who has returned from the GSBA World Championships in Bonn, Germany with an incredible:

🥇 GOLD – Single Padded Stick
🥇 GOLD – Double Padded Stick
🥉 BRONZE – Single Live Stick

An amazing achievement — but for us, the medals only tell part of the story.

During his Live Stick competition, Joshua sustained a significant thigh injury and was assessed by the event paramedics. Despite the injury, he showed incredible courage, determination and resilience, earning a huge ovation from the crowd. 👏

At RAPTR, we talk constantly about developing confidence, resilience, independence, self-belief, courage and the determination to keep going when things get difficult.

Joshua demonstrated those values on a world stage. 🌍💪

The Ireland & Northern Ireland team also gained invaluable experience competing against some outstanding international fighters — while experiencing the respect and camaraderie that martial arts should be about:

🥋 Compete hard.
🤝 Respect your opponent.
📈 Help each other improve.

As one competitor summed it up perfectly:

“A rising tide lifts all boats.”

Huge congratulations to Joshua & Chris Chestnut and David Crawford on representing Ireland & Northern Ireland with pride. 👏🇮🇪

🥇 Two World Championship gold medals at just 11 years old is something very special — but we’re equally proud of the character shown in earning them.
