Amelie Aldrich-Blake has recently passed her 1st degree black belt in Taekwondo.

Her instructor, Master Paul Eacock (6th dan) said: “It’s great to see Amelie achieve her goal. At just eight years old she is now the youngest female black belt I have ever had - since I started teaching taekwondo in 1996.

“Amelie is a nice friendly girl and a big member of our team. She also happens to be my niece which in my opinion made the job even harder for her!

“She has a very determined character and she has worked incredibly hard to achieve her goal. Congratulations from us all.”

Beginners enrolment is now on and the classes are at Tudorville District Community Centre (TDCC) in Ross-on-Wye. Wednesday’s 6.30-7.30pm and Sundays 5-6pm.
