SIX young martial artists are celebrating after being awarded their black belts.
Britka chief instructor Russell Garrard (fourth dan) said: “The students that passed their black belt were Joe Mahoney, Daniel King, Daniel Monk, Danny Alberici, Sam Pomroy and Ben Turner.
“The six junior students have been training with Britka for between five and seven years.
“They have trained hard and practiced whenever they are able, to prepare for their black belt grading.
“It is great to see youngsters putting in so much effort to achieve their goal, and gaining their black belt is an achievement that they will always be proud of,” he added.
Britka karate runs childrens classes in Leigh, Westcliff, Shoebury and Benfleet.
