Tox is too modest to blow his own trumpet, but I'm not...

The following is an article from our local rag

Young Morgan continues black belt progress

           Mendip Shotokan Karate Club's Jack Morgan has become one of the country's youngest 3rd Degree black belts at the age of 21.
             Morgan attended a four-day international course and grading in  Guildford, supervised by visiting instructors from the Japan Karate  Association's headquarters in Tokyo and Europe.
             The minimum age to attempt the grade is 21 but few have achieved it.
             Mendip chief instructor sensei Gary Scammell 4th Dan JKA said:  "This is a fantastic accomplishment, not only for Jack and his club, but  also for Somerset.
             
                                  "I remember Jack joining Mendip Karate when he was just six years  old along with his mother Julie, brother Laurie, and later his sister  Martha.
                 "Jack soon showed great promise and at the age of ten gained his  black belt under the late world renowned Japanese examiner, Master K  Enoeda 9th Dan.
             "He went on to pass his 2nd Dan in 2004 aged  just 15, while also  winning many club titles and accolades. We are very proud of his  continued commitment."
             After winning a bronze medal for kumite (free fighting) at his  first National Championships, Morgan trained regularly with the England  squad in London. He won several national medals and helped England to  victory in France in 2007.
             Next year, JKA Mendip Karate Club will be inviting students past and present to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
             Meanwhile, there will be a new beginner's class starting soon and a  new class timetable.  For more information, contact Gary on 01761  233343, Richard on 01373 463798, Julie on 01761 233268 or visit www.mendipshotokan.co.uk.

Well done, though I suspect our silent assassin (Ninja) would still kick his ass.......or not!

Blunt said he's got a black belt so so I think we can rule out two...

Congrats Tox, very impressive indeed, bet you were / are known as the Karete Kid?
 
Are we expecting to see you in the MMA anytime soon? ;)
​ Bring on the randomness!
Apparently I actually exist! Or maybe it was the drink?
