Coby may look small, but he is certainly a force to be reckoned with after winning a trophy in a mixed martial arts tournament in County Durham before Christmas.
Coby Parkinson in Year 7, has trained in mixed martial arts since he was five and now trains three times a week with the Peterlee Martial Arts group. In his seven year career, he has won three medals and achieved his yellow belt with a black stripe. He hopes that when he reaches the top belt he will go on to teach others.
Keep up the good work Coby!
