Cambridge Instructor, Julie Gabriel has qualified as an International
Judge/Referee while attending the World Combat Championships

Canne de Combat World Championships
- October 2004
The GBSF sent a team to the World Championships, which took place
on Reunion Island (in the Indian Ocean) in October 2004. The
trip was a great experience, and the Championships showed the
level it is possible for some people to perform in the art of
Canne de Combat. Despite there being only a few people in the
country to select competitors from, Team GB came in 6th out of
the 8 countries taking part. The team was made up of:
Ollie Batts (non-competing Team
GB Captain)
Fred Berst (the original Cambridge-based instructor)
Jon West (Fred's protégé & current Cambridge-based
instructor)
Morgan Alexander (CAMA Cambridge)
Martin Ross (Guildford Spectrum)
Highest placed GB individual
was Fred Berst who achieved 20th place overall by winning two
fights out of his four. The others undoubtedly learnt a lot from
being there, and competing against some of the world's very best.
