At the competition took part 9 students of which we won 2 gold medals, 2 silver, 3 bronze and we got a fourth place.

The gold medals were won by: James Russell (Scotland) for Ba Ji Quan and Kosta Papadimitriou (Greece) for Drunken Fist (Zhui Quan). The silver medals were won by: Nathan Moore (USA) for Tong Bei Quan and Giorgos Stefa (Greece) for Hu Quan (Tiger Fist).

The bronze medals were won by: Alexandre Sac-Epee (France) for 18 Chen Taijiquan, Dimitri Mathiopoulos (Greece) for Monkey Fist (Hou Quan) and Rene Schwartz (Germany) for Wing Chun for 12 Steps San Shi 1 Duan.
