STUDENTS from Bewdley's Tsunami Karate Club helped Great Britain top the medals table at the Kimura Shukokai European Championships in Sweden.

Emily Powell, Kara Bennett, Jenny Lofthouse, Sophie Powell and Tsunami instructor Dave Powell all won medals as Britain dominated the tournament with a haul of 15 golds.

Emily retained both her European and World titles in the women's 18 to 20-year-old individual kata and alongside Bennett and Loftus helped Britain win the team kata category.

Jenny then joined forces with Emily and Kara to secure gold in the team fighting section.

Dave Powell won bronze in the men's veterans individual kata, while the team's youngest member, Sophie, won bronze in the 14 to 15-year-old category.

Students at Tsunami are trained by Great Britain and World chief instructor Eddie Daniels.
