Billy Carlton, who trains at Watton's Saracen Martial Arts (Tae Kwon Do) Club, got “exceptional” marks at the

latest grading session at UEA, Norwich.

“Billy has achieved the highest marks on all his club gradings,” said Ian Soame, Saracen's Chief Instructor.

“This is unprecedented. Over the last three years we have had some amazing students grade. But when Billy has graded it is he who has scored the highest marks. Quite exceptional, well done Billy !”

His next grading is his Black Belt next May.

Seventy-two students, family and friends from clubs as far apart as Brandon, Hingham, Mundford, Swaffham and Hockham, Watton and Norwich, as well as new clubs from Castle Acre, Attleborough, Great Witchingham and Newton Flotman all converged on the Sportspark.

Anyone interested in joining Saracen should contact Ian Soame on 01953 882034, or go along to the Watton Youth Centre on a Wednesday or Friday evening at 7pm for a free first month of lessons.
