Aaron from Orton Goldhay returned from Austria with a World Championship title
An 11 year-old boy from Orton Goldhay has won a World Championship kickboxing title in Austria.
Aaron Lock completed a fantastic season by earning an England call-up and justifying it with a gold medal in the ‘Male Kids +50kg Points Fighting’ event.
He beat Roman Garza from the United States in the final with the bronze medalists coming from Ukraine and the United States.
Lock, who is coached by multiple World Champion Bethany Jones at the Raven Kickboxing Club in Werrington, has already won two World, two European and three British titles in his six years in the sport.
At the English National Championships in March, Lock won four gold medals, which secured his place in the England team. He then went on to win another three gold medals at the British Open in July.
Lock and his family are grateful to Orton Southgate based firm XL Displays for their generous backing through sponsorship.
