Sometimes it’s the quiet ones you need to keep an eye on. Take for example Ebony Solomou. She has been learning tae kwon do and now she has achieved something special. On the 7th April she got a black belt. Ebony was supposed to be getting a brown belt with a black stripe, but with outstanding skill she earned a rare double promotion and got a black belt instead. Ebony has been training for 3 years to get it. To achieve her goal of black belt Ebony had to break a certain number of boards and practice patterns.  She also tells me that she must be able to do 3 on1 sparing and take-downs. I’ll take her word for it!
