BEWDLEY Taekwondo Club is celebrating after two of its junior members achieved their black belts.

Ella Kirk and Tomo Maund, both aged 14, were graded on their techniques, patterns, sparring skills and theoretical knowledge in the gruelling Taekwondo Association of Great Britain (TAGB) examination.

Katie Billingham, from the Brwdley club, said: “I am extremely proud of Ella and Tomo, they have worked so hard to achieve this high standard and on behalf of everyone in the school I would like to say a big congratulations to our new black belts.”
