Certificates line the walls of Brandon Howsego?s bedroom and there are signs of his devotion to karate all over the house.
The Horndean Technology College pupil is a keen and committed scholar of this ancient martial art.
He trains with his karate school for more than four hours a week and spends every spare moment he can practising his moves at home.
Today the 13-year-old answers the front door wearing his karate kit ? and is proudly sporting the black belt he?s just achieved.
As any karate fanatic knows, the prestigious coloured belt is a massive accolade but particularly means a lot to Brandon and his family.
Not only is it unusual for someone so young to earn their black belt so early, but he also got it in spite of having diabetes.
