THREE members of Cinderford Tae Kwon-Do have achieved their black belts.

Junior first dan Jake Fowler took his black belt star grading in Monmouth last month.

After two years of intensive training, James Gilding and Robert Behiels travelled to Daventry in Northamptonshire where they successfully achieved first dan black belt status.

They were presented with their black belts, ties, badges and certificates from the committee of the Tae Kwon Association of Great Britain and the British Tae Kwon-Do Council at a special celebration with their families and fellow students.

The club relaunched at the Miners’ Welfare Hall in Wesley Road after 18 months of online lessons.
