EIGHT-YEAR-OLD Jaden Crump from Huntington has achieved his 1st Dan blackbelt in Taekwondo.

Jaden went to Bristol to the National Taekwondo Academy of Great Britain (TAGB) where he graded for his black belt, presenting himself to the top TAGB 8th Dan masters in the UK.

Jaden joined the TAGB Academy of Chester and Wirral, run by Richard Saunders, when he was only four.

Not only is Jaden one of the youngest to have achieved this in the UK, but he had to compete against 12 and 13-year-olds because of his height at 5’1.
