TWO teenagers have been given a top honour for their kickboxing skills.
Alex Forrest and Greg Traviss, who both study Shin Tai at Combat Gym in Weston, gained their black belt qualification.

Both 14-year-olds have been training under chief instructor Kevin Ludick since they were 10 and are the first junior students from the gym to achieve the award.
