Paul teaches alongside his Instructor Neil Bennett - Black Belt 2nd Dan, on a regular Wednesday night in Malvern.

Paul is the Instructor for USKO - Karate Club in Ledbury, which has been established for over a year.

Mr Bennett said: "I am very pleased that Paul has achieved his personal goal of Black Belt, I have known him for over six years and introduced him to Karate; he has become a more confident, positive person and with his own dedication and determination it has made him the Black Belt he is today."
