Hide AdSensai Paul Royston, her trainer at the club, said: “I am so pleased for Elise as she has worked hard for it.
“She has had a few setbacks over the last two years with injuries but is now fighting fit.
“I can only see her going from strength to strength and this good performance will only help her confidence. Everyone is so proud of her.”
Elise’s father and son, Martin and Brad, also competed.
Martin, who has only been training with Rotherham Sport Karate for a year, fought really well in his category and did the club proud.
Brad fought off tough competition to make it to the quarter finals of a huge category, narrowly missing out on a medal.
