Lots of people help out in the running of London Chinatown TaeKwonDo, and we have
a big team of instructors, assistant instructors, and people who help out in different
ways.
Chief Instructor Neil R. Hall founded LCTKD in 2005 together with LCTKD Technical
Director Gareth Hall, who now leads our Blackminster Class together with Rich Edkins.
Chinatown instructors double black belt Jon Alagoa, Ravi Luggah and WTF Taekwondo
qualified Kelvin Chan, have over 35 years of martial arts experience between them,
and our Chinatown assistant instructors Susanna Fung, Gin Ho and Xin Leng have trained
with us for several years.
Squad Coach Dee Milbery and Senior Instructor Kim Taylor have 50 years of martial
arts between them. Kim teaches at our Grasshoppers and Dragon Spirit classes, and
Dee trains there and teaches at our Fire Blazers Class and other classes through
the week, as well as leading our competition squad.
A yoga teacher with nearly 15 years of martial arts experience, Helen Hall joined
the LCTKD team when it started its Cotswold Classes in 2008, as did Gareth’s brother,
our kicks coach Drew Hall. He and Gareth have 40 years of martial arts experience
between them. Sami Remili, a 3rd Degree black belt in WTF Taekwondo and now teaching
ITF style, leads our work at LCTKD Algeria.
Sonya McCormick helps with events and activities, and the general running of the
school, and we’d also like to give a word of appreciation to our many assistant instructors
and junior leaders across all our classes.
