"I am very proud and committed to teaching Soo Bahk Do in Essex and enjoy passing on my knowledge to my students and in helping keep this amazing art alive.

What makes our club very different from any other in the area is the fact that it is a club and not a business. I teach Soo Bahk Do solely for my passion of the art, and to keep this amazing art alive. Not for financial gain or anything else. I am an I.T Consultant by day and the club and teaching Soo Bahk Do is my passion. Soo Bahk Do is a very very unique martial art and is a lifestyle. It changes people for the better not just when in the dojang but in every day life too.  

I am hoping my club will keep a few kids off the streets, away from their mobile phones or sitting in front of the t.v or xbox etc and may even help save a life one day".
