Kerry-Anne Brooker is a girl not to be messed with.

Having reached red belt status in karate, the Canvey based 11-year-old has turned her attentions to Tang Soo Do with great success.

As a result, she recently finished second in an invitational event in Frankfurt, having already won both European and National titles.

"Kerry-Anne did karate for a couple of years, but since she switched to Tang Soo do she has won plenty of medals," said dad Paul.

"To go over and finish second in Germany in front of the German judges was a great achievement.

"You had to be invited to take part and she was the only one in her discipline to go from England so she is doing very well."
