We are pleased to share the recent achievements of two of our students, Noah (Year 10) and Zac (Year 7) Toothill, who competed for Team England at the International Mixed Martial Arts (IMMA) European Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, this past week.
Both brothers demonstrated exceptional dedication and skill, competing at the highest level of youth combat sports.
Zac Toothill: A World-Class Record
Zac continued his remarkable run of success by securing a Gold medal, adding to the World title he won last summer in Abu Dhabi. Zac’s ability to compete across multiple disciplines is particularly noteworthy; he now holds titles in MMA, Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling, and Sambo.
To date, Zac has accumulated a staggering competitive record:
- 26 World Titles
- 26 European Titles
- 37 National Titles
These statistics solidify his position as one of the most accomplished youth athletes globally in his field.
Noah Toothill: A Remarkable Transition
In his first-ever international tournament, Noah earned a Bronze medal. This achievement is especially impressive given that Noah only shifted his focus from football to Mixed Martial Arts less than a year ago. To represent his country and reach the podium within 12 months of starting a new sport is a testament to his work ethic and focus.
The commitment required to compete at this level - balancing international travel and rigorous training with their school life - is significant. We congratulate both Noah and Zac on their hard work and their well-deserved success on the European stage.
