End of a Era January

After 25 yrs of unbroken coaching and competing I have decided to leave Sport Taekwondo. It has been a difficult decision made easier with poorly performing associations.

I have had a lot of highs and low but that comes with coaching. I will hopefully complete my writting very soon and get to print... Successes too many to mention..... insignificant :)

I will now focus on the Martial Arts aspects, working on my Taekwondo advancement, MMA program, Brazilian Jui Jitsu, and all aspect of my Martial Arts and fitness centre as well as my Reiki modalities.

I will give alot of time to my family and to the members of my school. I look forward to developing them into better people and Martial Artist. I thank Michelle Cooley my lovely wife for her support.

Taekwondo WTF Style is Everywhere

As you see Taekwondo is in about 191 countries, obviously the map is not to scale. But the point is that is it a truly internationally accepted and recognised Martial Art. It is not just made up in the last few years. It is at Olympic, World Champ , World Cup, World Uni Games, and so many more international competitions. More importantly it is recognised as a leading martial art with the strongest most highly regarded kicking styles. Our grading system is worldwide standard and thus credible. Police forces all over the world train in Taekwondo and in particular the Korean army and police.

Who would you join over 80 million people can't be wrong ?
