Instructor Profile

Instructor Profile 

Michele started Tae Kwon Do at age 15 in the hope to find a hobby she really enjoyed. At her very first lesson she got bitten by the Tae Kwon Do bug and has barely missed a lesson in 10 years of training. She is proof that anyone can start Tae Kwon Do and succeed, as she began her journey from a shy and unfit teenager who didn't enjoy PE, to a confident athletic World Champion.

Michele is a secondary school teacher in Eastbourne, which means that teaching is in her nature. Nothing rewards her more than seeing her students achieve and succeed, be it a national competition, or a single technique. She is extremely enthusiastic and dedicated to her class 100%.

She is a 3rd Degree Black belt, qualified instructor, CRB checked and first aid trained. Not only will you get expert tuition tailored to your own abilities, she is also commited to ensuring safe training for everyone. Michele is also holds full umpire and referree qualifications with the TAGB.

Tae Kwon Do can focus on anything you wish, but Michele has been very successful in National and Local championships winning over 20 trophies and medals to date! Here she is pictured at the 9th Open World Championships in Telford, with her winning Tag Team.
