Aaron E Joseph

One of the most demanding skills required to pass the Wu Shu Kwan 5th Degree Black Belt is the ability to smash an apple flying towards you using a Chinese three-section staff.
  Through regular systematic training, both candidates successfully pulverised the apples at their crucial first attempt.
  A high-speed camera captured the apples a split second after they were smashed.

Grandfather John and granddaughter Angharad took their grading at the same time. To cap it off, both of them came top in their respective categories.
  John, the good-looking one on the right, is pictured with his granddaughter Angharad, the better-looking one, at the history-making grading.
