"I am a firm believer in staying true to the traditional ideals of the martial arts; respect, loyalty, humility and integrity, and in following a mostly traditional training method, with the students working to better themselves, but I also feel that we should embrace the modern elements of martial arts training such as sparring in competitions and fitness work, to give a true balance to modern Tae Kwon-Do. As I walk the path of Tae Kwon-Do, I continue to learn, to improve my techniques and increase the amount of knowledge that I can pass on to my students, in the hope that their abilities and knowledge will be greater than mine and the true essence of Tae Kwon-Do will be passed on from generation to generation"
"I work hard to better myself as an Instructor. I study yoga to give my students the best flexibity and core strength possible. I continue to increase my knowledge as a Biologist and have a constantly improving understanding of nutrition, fitness and physiology. But, more importantly, I travel to learn more Tae Kwon-Do from Tae Kwon-Do experts, and in doing so I can increase the knowledge of my students"
"In Kernow Tae Kwon-Do Academy of Excellence, I have followed the examples of my Instructor and many other martial arts teachers, to create a safe, tolerant, friendly training environment, which is suitable for all students, irrespective of age, sex, lifestyle preference and technical ability. I think it is great to see family groups training together, with parents learning alongside their children and I will always strive to teach the full range of Tae Kwon-Do and ensure that all my students improve their self-defence abilities, increase their confidence, self-esteem and fitness and, most importantly, enjoy their training"
Enjoy your training…
