FORT MILL -- Joshua Paxtor was just 3 years old when his parents first enrolled him in tae kwon do classes. His two older brothers, Carlos Jr. and Abraham, were already accomplished in the martial arts. Joshua earned his black belt last year at 7.
Joshua, a third-grader at Springfield Elementary School, has soaked up all that training like a sponge. He became a tae kwon do world champion June 27 when he won the world's top 10 competition for his age division. The competition was held in Little Rock, AR.
