STRATFORD-upon-Avon-based martial artist master Zoe Rossborough has achieved her seventh degree black belt in Tang Soo Do.
Rossborough began training in the art of Tang Soo Do since late 1998 and teaches the traditional karate style to individuals and families in Stratford.
The seventh degree black belt also teaches students of the martial art in Alcester, Norton Lindsey, Henley-in-Arden, Coventry and the surrounding areas.
Grand master Dominick Giacobbe, a ninth Dan from the United States of America, and two Belgian Tang Soo Do masters assessed and presented Rossborough with the grading.
Tang Soo Do grand master Giacobbe started training under the founder of the world Tang Soo Do karate, grand master Shin, who trained Chuck Norris in South Korea.
Rossborough set up her own inclusive organisation 12 years ago and has shared her knowledge with more than 200 students to date from ages four to 60 years and above.
And Rossborough hosted online Zoom classes during the Covid-19 Pandemic to ensure the club survived.
By the end of lockdown, Rossborough had completed 409 online lessons and gradings.
Rossborough is chief instructor and examiner at Central Korean Martial Arts (CKMA) in Stratford.
