Eastwood took ten of those medals, with Kerry Wilson 4th Dan taking three golds in the veterans pattern, sparring and power sections.
Matthew Wilson 1st Dan black belt won a bronze medal in the sparring for the 13-18 age group, while green belt Brandon Wilson won a gold in the 8-12 years pattern and bronze in the sparring.
Yellow belts Jordan Wood claimed two golds in the 5-7 years pattern and sparring, and Adam Hill a silver in the 5-7 years sparring.
White belt Thomas Plummer completed the haul as he took bronze in the 8-12 years sparring.
