FOUR Cobras Tae Kwon Do students were promoted to first degree black belts after a tough grading.

They were pushed mentally and physically over four hours at Worcester’s Elgar Technology College but passed with flying colours.

Emily Craddock, Mark Hodgson, Matthew Dowson and Derek Allan were those successful.

Cobras, who opened in 2003 and now have clubs in Worcester, Pershore and Crowle, boast more than 55 black belts. They operate under the Independent Tae Kwon Do Schools (ITS) organisation.

The martial art has different elements, such as sparring, self defence and weapons skills.

Anyone interested in joining Cobras can call chief instructor Leo Withers on 01562-69916 or 07508-726975.
