PCSO Nic Kegge practising the Kuk Sool Won martial art.
The Suffolk officer ?has been awarded Black Belt of the Year by his club.
Kegge who is a member of the Mid Suffolk North safer neighbourhood team has studied Kuk Sool Won at the same club since he was twelve and has travelled all over the world to compete.
Kuk Sool Won, which can be translated as Korean National Martial Arts Association, is a systematic study of all the traditional fighting arts, which together comprise the martial arts history of the Korean nation.?
The award?is given out yearly to the black belt who has contributed most to the club during the year and brings with it the responsibility of passing the skills onto younger members .?
PC Kegge says many of the skill required by the sport can be useful in day to day life and to society as a whole.
Nic says??I have competed in several competitions during the years at the club and have travelled to Korea, America and Spain in order to do this. I believe that being a part of a club such as this is a good idea for any person as it helps with self-confidence, fitness and also teaches respect ?from a young age.?
