Three kickboxers from Croydon Martial Arts Academy claimed medals at the International Combat Organisations's British Championships last month - with two being named British champions.

Linvell Taylor is now a three-time British champion after adding two golds to the previous British Kickboxing Council title he already holds.

The 35-year-old senior instructor at the academy claimed the top spot in both the over 90kg light continuous fighting and points fighting black belt categories in Birmingham on June 23.

Also taking home a gold medal was 19-year-old Roxy Carberry, who won the over 65kg light continuous fighting black belt category, her second British title having also won the World Kickboxing Organisation's version.

Another senior instructor, 47-year-old Brian Kum, won silver in the under 85kg light continuous fighting black belt category, after an injury prevented him from competing in the final, and bronze in the points fighting category.

Sam Pearce, a 25-year-old trainee instructor, was competing in his first British championship in the under 90kg points fighting open category, but lost out in the semi-finals.
