MALVERN’S Paul Moss is only the second Samurai Judo Club member to receive a sixth level black belt.
The 56-year-old was presented with the British Judo Association belt at the Kidderminster club by fellow sixth dan Paul Jones.
Moss moved to the county in 1992 and quickly joined Samurai as a second-level black belt before going steadily through the grades.
He was a five-time British National Masters Championships medallist and won the North West Open Championships.
