The evening was an official ISKA event and Hughes, 15, defeated Zeeshan Khan from A1 Lions Club in Derby, in what was his toughest bout to date.

Meanwhile, Bailie saw off Sophie Moore from Hard Nox Gym in Bedford, during what was another tough encounter.

Both students are trained by Andy Pilborough-Skinner at Templar Martial Arts club in Dunstable and are also in full training once again with the ISKA England squad to compete again later this year in Holland, while grading for their black belts takes place on March 31.
