NTC Take Over the British International Open G1 – A Statement Performance

NTC didn’t just attend the British International Open G1 they took it over.

In one of the most dominant displays seen at this level, NTC stormed the competition to claim 1st place Cadet Team and the prestigious title of Overall Best Team of the Tournament. Against elite international opposition, the team delivered performance after performance, proving they are not just competing they are setting the standard.

From the first fight to the last, NTC athletes showed relentless intensity, composure under pressure, and a level of belief that separated them from the rest. Every corner of the mats felt the presence of this team.

Leading from the front were the gold medallists — absolute statement-makers:

• Zaac Quah (-33kg) was electric, dominating his division with confidence and precision to take gold in style.

• Dev Sharma (-41kg) showed maturity beyond his years, controlling his fights and executing like a seasoned champion.

• Louis Hesworth (-49kg) delivered a clinical performance, rising above a stacked category to stand on top of the podium.

The silver medallists were nothing short of warriors, pushing finals to the limit and playing a massive role in the team’s victory:

• Nyah Cannon (-37kg) fought with grit and determination, refusing to back down in a tough run to silver.

• Sam Taylor (-51kg) showcased sharp technique and heart, battling through to the final with authority.

• Milli-ann Kirk (-59kg) delivered powerful, composed performances throughout the day to secure silver.

• Harry Callander (-78kg) showed resilience and strength, earning his place in the final after a series of hard-fought matches.

In the senior ranks, the standard didn’t drop for a second:

• Zak Angell (-80kg) put on a high-level display, taking silver after a series of impressive wins.

• Matt Howell (-74kg) battled through a tough bracket to secure bronze, showing experience and determination every step of the way.

But this wasn’t just about individual medals this was about a team effort at the highest level.

NTC brought energy, unity, and a winning mindset that lifted every athlete. Teammates supporting teammates, pushing each other, and stepping up when it mattered most this is what created champions across the board.

To walk away from a G1 event as Cadet Team Champions AND Overall Best Team is no small achievement. It’s a statement. It shows that NTC is building something powerful a team that is hungry, disciplined, and ready to compete with the very best.

This is more than a result. It’s momentum. It’s belief. It’s a glimpse of what’s coming next.

NTC aren’t just part of the competition anymore, they are the team to beat.
