The Furze family all brought medals home to Bath Taekwondo Club from the TAGB English Championships at Coventry Skydome Arena.
Eldest sister Lydia Furze was once again star of the show as she took gold in her sparring division, to the delight of club instructor Rob Morris.
"The improvement in Lydia over the last year has been remarkable," he said. "It goes to show that a little more effort and determination goes a long way.
"This is the message we try to get through to the young students at the club, not just in taekwondo but in all aspects of life."
Her siblings, Taylor, Shelbi and Brooke, all won bronze in their respective weight divisions, while Graham Fulford – the most senior student in terms of age – took silver in the executive blue belt division.
"Graham never ceases to amaze me," Morris added. "Just as I think he's peaked, taking a bronze at regional level, he takes silver at national level.
"It wouldn't surprise me to see him bring gold back to the club one of these days. He is amazing, a fine example to us all."
