Chief Instructor - Master Gareth Pritchard 6th Dan
Fully insured and DBS approved to work with children and adults.
I began training in Taekwondo just before I turned 4 years of age at the Ruthin club in January of 2002.
I achieved my black belt in April 2007 at the age of 9, the youngest from our clubs to do so at the time.
I compete regularly in tournaments locally and Internationally and am fortunate enough to have been chosen by Master Peros (Welsh Team Coach) to represent Wales from March 2017 onwards.
I began assisting with the instruction of classes in 2014 and enjoyed helping the junior students learn new patterns and develop their Taekwondo skills. I enjoy passing my knowledge on to other students and watching their development.
