A big thank you to Nigel Armitt from Richmond CKD inviting Chief Instructor Mr Niki Clarke to do a Choi Kwang Do Taster Self Defence Martial Arts Workshop for the staff of Cancer Research as part of the Stand Up To Cancer fund raiser.
Nearly 20 staff learned to Kick, Punch, Elbow Strike and learn to deal with attackers in a fun and informal setting in the Cancer research staff offices in London! Well done all who took part and thanks for letting us be a part of this fantastic cause and event!
I joined Clarke's Academy of Martial Arts in September 2019.
As soon as I went to my first, free trial I knew it was for me.
Mr Clarke, the teacher, is excellent.
He is very patient and made me, as a 55 year old woman, feel comfortable.
It is a friendly class and I felt part of it immediately.
Since I started I have lost weight and gained fitness and confidence. And I have learned to protect myself too.
I intend to get a black belt and I know under Mr. Clarke's instruction, that I shall get it.
I go 4 times a week as I want to achieve that aim as fast as I can plus I thoroughly enjoy going and have made some new friends.
I love it!
Choi Kwang Do is a martial art for all ages and genders
I highly recommend it to all.
Pil Seung as we say in Choi Kwang Do!
Me and my partner have been training with Mr Clarke 3-4 times per week for the past couple of months. The class has a really friendly and welcoming atmosphere and welcomes all abilities ( we were complete amateurs ;-) ). Whether you want to “get fit”, lose weight (my partner has lost over a stone) or learn a new skill, you’ll have the benefit of great advice from a highly qualified instructor!!! Pil-Seung!
