Nine-year-old boy becomes a black belt... with just one leg

Three years ago a six-year-old boy began taking Taekwondo classes following a friend's birthday party, fast forward three years and that same boy has achieved a black belt. 

A massive achievement for any youngster, however, there is something significantly special about this boy's black belt. 

Toby King, the now nine-year-old, only has one leg, yet his perseverance and courage has him celebrating. 

Toby was born with a bone deformity, having his leg amputated when he was just a tot at 10-months-old.

But taking two classes per week, his disability never stopped his determination, wanting to achieve the highest honour he could when he took up his hobby a short time ago. 

And he doesn't have to wait any longer, as the youngster has reached his goal, and his parents couldn't be more proud of him. 

How amazing is Toby? Just proves with a bit of determination you can achieve anything.
