MARTIAL ARTS: Lewis (9) sets a record with black belt
NINE-year-old Lewis Wright has become the youngest ever black belt at Jon Cooper's Schools of Tae Kwon Do.
He started learning aged five and has trained at the club's base at St Norbert's Primary School in Spalding for the last three-and-a-half years.
Club instructor Jon Cooper said: "I have learned and taught tae kwon do for more than 20 years and Lewis is the youngest ever to obtain his black belt.
"The TAGB black belt grading is hard enough for adults to pass and the children have to perform to the same standard, so it was a fantastic effort for one so young."
