Can you believe A SUPER-tough mum and her two children Battle using Taekwondo
The most Amazing Taekwondo battle
People probably thought they were going to see an actual taekwondo match. But they are wrong.
A SUPER-tough mum and her two children have achieved a clean sweep of medals at a major Taekwondo competition.
Ashley Brown, 26, picked up a gold, silver and bronze for her performances for team Scotland and “watched through tears” as her kids won further medals at the Open Taekwondo World Championships.
Her daughter Alysha, ten, grabbed a bronze and son Jay, seven, was crowned World Champion after defeating a highly rated Japanese fighter in the final.
The family, from Armadale, travelled to Italy to compete against the best in the world last month.
Ashley, who has been practicing taekwondo since she was seven, started training in January after taking two years out of the sport. And after qualifying for the World Championships, her children were also eligible to compete in the junior events.
But Ashley, who shot to fame in 2009 when she came fourth in Britain’s Next Top Model, said she “cried” while watching her children fight.
She said: “I’ve only trained for seven months in two years and I ended up getting over to the World Championships.
“I was picked for the Scotland women’s team and ended up getting a gold, silver and a bronze, I was shocked. But the best thing about it was that my kids could do it and I got to watch them compete.
“But it’s horrible, watching. I was in tears watching my kids fight but they did amazing.
“You’re never more proud than when you see your kids do well. It was unbelievable. I was more nervous for my kids competing than I was myself.”
The family train at the Dojang, in Armadale, and are helped with their sessions by Ashley’s sister Nicole and father, David Brown, 52, an 8th Degree Black Belt who has recently been made President of Europe for the ITF Federation.
Ashley stopped fighting when she appeared on America’s Next Top Model but returned to claim two silvers and a gold in the European championships in England.
