Reaching for the Stars in England
News . Profiles10-year old Amy Robinson taking on the world with her High Kick, or she will be thanks to her brothers. The Bankwood Primary School pupil has been chosen to represent Great Britain against some of the best karate competitors in the world. Her three brothers Mark, aged 24, Andrew, 21 and Lee, 19, are helping her by buying her competition kit. Amy, a brown belt, is a member of the Sheffield Dragons KTBF team which trains under martial arts master Terry Johnson in Woodhouse. Every weekend she travels round the country to competitions doing so well she’s been selected to represent Britain in a competition in France next month. Her family are looking for sponsorship to help Amy make the trip and have arranged events including a fashion show to raise cash. Family friends have chipped in. Because the Robinsons don’t drive, the family rely on neighbor Sally Hurst, who takes Amy from her home in Gleadless to train in Woodhouse three times a week. Amy’s mum Pam said: “It’s Amy’s ambition to one day be the best in the world. We’re all trying to do our bit to help her.” “Her three brothers have been really good and I can’t thank Sally enough but we still have a long way to go.” The fashion show is at Woodhouse West End Club on November 22. Offers of sponsorship to Sheffield Dragon College of Martial Arts, 34-38 Market Square, Woodhouse, Sheffield.
