Meet Assistant Instructor Miss Ciara. Ciara is a highly enthusiastic, valued and joyful member of our instructor team!
One of Ciara’s strengths is she is patient when teaching children, this is an asset particularly with our younger martial artists!
Although she is too modest to admit, Ciara is a highly intelligent young woman, currently studying Criminology at University.
Ciara’s hidden talent! Ciara knows lots of Random Fun Facts! Ask her!
This weekly class is one of the absolute highlights of my week. It keeps me fit, physically and emotionally. It’s a brilliant exercise experience for people of all abilities. And a great social experience too: everyone is really friendly and supportive, and you can meet people of all ages.
You can progress through the belts even if you’ve no experience, or no natural talent for sport, because you’ll get all the support to make sure you can learn, and the structure of the classes is a big help to enable constant progression.
You can take it as seriously as you want, too. For some people it’s a way of life, in which case you can train many times a week and add in tournaments; for others it’s just an hour a week. And that’s all fine. You can take it at your own pace.
A great class with tonnes of energy, talent, and the feeling of a supportive family.
Highly recommend!
I go to sessions every week with pleasure and excitement at the Clarke Academy of Martial Arts Teddington, which I have been attending for more than 2 years. The atmosphere of friendship in the club, the harmony of the participants, and the respect and dedication of the instructors motivate me. I'm making new friends and staying fit while learning the art of self-defense, it's great ! The professionalism, sincere approach and quality training of our instructors enable us to get maximum benefit from each session. I definitely recommend it.
Pil seung!
Both my son and I are students at Mr. Clarke's school of Choi Kwang Do for more than a year. I could not recommend this school enough, it teaches both adults, teenagers and children, extremely useful tools that everyone needs to go well through life: Humility, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, Unbreakable spirit. It's a really great practice where both teachers and students work together harmoniously for everyone's development. It is a school with a great sense of honour and merit! Mr. Clarke is a true gentleman, a man of honour and very gentle with his students. Top job!
