United Taekwondo also had four students sitting for their first Dan black belt, with a student from Muswellbrook Club, 12-year-old Daniel O’Brien sitting for his black belt.

Throughout Daniel’s grading he showed strength, technique and persistence.

His performance gained Daniel the chance of a first Dan black belt with a two board side kick break.

This level is not usually achieved until 16 years of age.

Daniel has become the youngest student of United Taekwondo to achieve a first Dan black belt.

Daniel is the proof of hard work and dedication to the art of self defence. Congratulations Daniel.

United Taekwondo has been running for 31 years.
