NOOSA is now home to four new black belts following grading at Combat Karate and Elite Self Defence, Noosaville.
Jack Bowen, Loren Anderson, Daniel Cooney and Marco Nadal are now first Dan (Shodan) black belts.
Combat Karate and Elite Self Defence founder Martin Day, who is a sixth Dan master instructor, said it was a fantastic way to end the year.
“It takes a huge amount of dedication, skill, fitness and years of hard training to reach Black Belt level in Combat Karate, Noosa, and they did it,” he said.
