Red Dragon’s 4 Main instructors

Experience

With over 40 years of Karate experience between the main 4 instructors.  They all have other skills such as teacher training qualifications, first aiders and child safeguarding.  We ensure that we offer the best training of our abilities & knowledge.

Training is more than just time served (however if an instructor has only been training for 3-4 years then that means that they have limited experience).

Being an instructor also means that you also need to teach in a clear fashion.  Be able to demonstrate the technique and if its one you cannot perform then get someone to demonstrate who can (we’re all not experts in all techniques!).

Our instructors all have a minimum of 12 years each of Karate training, but also have additional skills and modern day life skills.  These skills include first aid officers and trainers, karate instructor training qualifications etc.

Some clubs just rely on their time served, these clubs may not teach in the best way for you.

Are they good role models?

We like to think that Red Dragon Karate is a family club, and we want it to be a friendly and encouraging club that has its members at its core.  Always remember there is no club if there are no members.

Get to know the instructors, speak to them, if possible see what they post on facebook.  You may be surprised by how they come across and what they do behind closed doors.  Would you feel comfortable in their presence or your childs if you don’t like what they post and say outside the club?

Continuous Personal Development ( CPD )

In addition to our 3 main instructors, we also have other members of the club who can train in other areas and help keep the club rolling along.  These additional club members have vital roles and are essential and appreciated in the work they do.

As instructors we are wanting to improve our own training, techniques and skills and pass them onto students.  Where as some clubs may just carry on with the status Quo, lesson after lesson, we don’t.

We are providing our instructors with continuous training, visiting other clubs, attending seminars, attending external courses such as Child Safeguarding and Instructor training.
