Golden finishes for Precision Martial Arts at Maitland's Valley Open

The four-strong Bathurst team brought five gold medals back home and several silvers just for good measure.

Kiara Blattman, Beau Blattman, Jethro Hartmann and Troy Wright were standouts at the tournament, which featured more than 100 competitors.

Kiara Blattman and Jethro Hartmann mirrored each other's results in kata and sword combat while the latter also added a silver in point sparring

The other win was picked up by Beau Blattman in kata - who added to his win with a silver in sword combat - while Wright was a runner-up in sword combat.

Coach Taylor Sargent said the quartet's efforts at training paid off in Maitland.

"Kiara and Beau have been training for quite a while and they're both black belts. Kiara's one of our highest levelled athletes we have, and the highest of those who went to that tournament," she said.

"She's been training for 10 years and has being keeping up her rankings. She's now ranked number one [in the state] for kata. Beau, her younger brother, has been training for around five years and is also doing a great job with his rankings.

"The other two boys, Troy and Jethro, will be going for their black belts at the end of this year.

"We've been doing a lot of work with clash sparring lately, which is a new event for us."

Kata and weapons, as evidenced by the Maitland results, are still the dominant fields for the group.

"Our team has got really good basics," Sargent said.

"When they learn a new kata the basics are still the same and that's what really helps them get through."

The entire Precision Martial Arts team are preparing for a range of tournaments coming up towards the year's end.

Sargent said some team members have used their recent time to "recharge the batteries" before the big events roll around.

"We've got some more tournaments coming up soon," Sargent said.

"We have a smaller one on the Central Coast happening soon. We're not sure how many will be going to that one yet.

"Then we have two big ones towards the end of the year in October and November.

"There's the CCP Cup, which is a big event that will probably have over a thousand competitors, and then the nationals to follow."

The CCP Cup takes place on October 20 at the Whitlam Leisure Centre while ISKA Nationals will be on at the same venue from November 15.
