BRACKENHILL Primary School pupil Muhammad Muizz Bin Azar has earned a black belt at the age of just ten.

Hassan Khan, Shreen Bana, Muhammad Musaib Sabir and Muhammad Waleed Bin Azar have also been rewarded for three years' training at the Azar Farooq Kickboxing Club at Brackenhill, Heaton and Lapage primary schools.

The gradings, which were sponsored by Arshad Mahmood's Auto Prestige, were four hours of non-stop drills and exercises, and was the culmination of the pupils' nine-belt journey from white to black.

Sessions are every Friday at Brackenhill Primary School (6pm-7pm), Saturdays at Heaton Primary School (9.30am-11am) and Sundays at Lapage Primary School (11am-1pm).
