    Junior Student Martial Arts Profile - Choi Kwang Do

    Student Profile… Meet Laerke. One of our awesome Junior Team Leaders. She is in training for her 1st degree black belt!🥋 “I chose Choi Kwang Do, because my mum and big sister had done martial arts before.

My 10 year old daughter loves Choi Kwang Do - it has given her huge confidence. The teachers are so encouraging and also seeing senior students become assistants and teachers is really inspiring.

Myself and my two sons joined Clarke Academy of Martial Arts early in June, all three of us attend different age classes and I can safely say all three of us are having a blast whilst learning self defence, self control and self discipline.

We have just had our first grading and Ms Harle and Ms Batt made all three of us so comfortable and made us feel like we could achieve anything!

I suffer with extreme anxiety and attendjng this class has been the best thing I have ever done!

The instructors have made me feel so comfortable and relaxed and the same with my boys.

We are so happy we joined and will continue the journey of Choi Kwang Do together as a family! Choi Kwang Do!
