Hull: A pensioner has been awarded a top martial arts honour. Judo and jujitsu expert Raymond Wood is just one of six people in the country to be given a 10th Dan black belt.
According to The Sun he said: “I feel really chuffed. I have waited 11 years since being awarded my ninth Dan for this to happen, so it is an achievement.”
Raymond was crowned all-England Jujitsu Champion at the age of 63. He took up martial arts in 1948 when he was 15.
The dad of five, from Hull, East Yorks, was given the 10th Dan top honour as a reward for 58 years as a devotee.
