I'm a 4th DAN black belt in Choi Kwang Do and a martial arts enthusiast. I have been training in CKD for 14+ years and still love it to this day.
The striking power of CKD is what caught my attention and once I started to learn this incredible art I started to see all the other benefits.
I can train at a really intense level whilst maintaining optimum health along with no injuries.
At our school I try to balance all the components of CKD whilst giving a fun and varied self-defence curriculum.

Starting Choi Kwang Do at a young age gave me an opportunity to develop self awareness, confidence and self control at a great level. These skills have helped in all areas of life proving that martial arts isn't just about punching and kicking.
I was always drawn to the encouragement and fantastic mentoring/support from Instructors and wanted to be able to do the same for others with the skills I was developing, which is why I became an instructor.
Choi Kwang Do's ethics help people to realise their true potential on many platforms. Training in this art brings people together, there truly is no other art like CKD.
I absolutely love seeing the growth in our students from all walks of life, physically and mentally and hope that I'm able to do this for a lifetime.

Pil seung! My name is Miss Dean, I am a secondary school teacher and a 4th Degree Black Belt in Choi Kwang Do. I started CKD as a 9-year-old because my mum thought it important to know how to protect myself as a young woman (she was right of course!) And I went along because it looked fun! However, over the years it evolved into something greater. To this day the self-defence aspect is a large component, but the other benefits of CKD are further reasons why I continue to train and teach the art.
Training in CKD has enabled me to be disciplined in all aspects of my life, to communicate well with people of all backgrounds and ages, and has given me a sense of achievement, opportunity, and community that has been unmatched. In regard to self-defence, CKD allowed me to feel confident as a young woman. Further, my physical fitness, and mental wellbeing, continue to increase the longer I train. Even after 16 years, I thoroughly enjoy teaching our students, and seeing the impact it has on their lives also.

I started Choi Kwang Do when I was 8 years old. I started CKD to boost my confidence and my self-awareness.
I recently became a 2nd degree black belt and an assistant instructor. Being an assistant instructor means I teach children and adults to develop their techniques.
Choi Kwang Do is not all about punching and kicking it’s about your mindset and personal development.
