Instructor Profile:

David began training under Master Rhee Chong Hyup in 1971 at the best TaeKwonDo School in Melbourne and has been instructing classes for over 40 years. He has a Diploma of Sport (Development), a Diploma of Sport (Coaching), Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Coach, and like all Rhee instructors, a First Aid Certificate and WWCC. 

His main focus is on helping each individual enjoy their training and achieve their personal goals in self defence and the study of the Art of Tae Kwon Do. Self improvement is constantly needed in order to instruct at the best TaeKwonDo School in Melbourne. Thus understanding how the patterns can be used to train self defence responses is a priority. Patterns have traditionally been the main method of passing on knowledge from instructor to student.

Fitness and health are only achieved through consistency of training. Thus doing something you enjoy is important for the long haul. Unfortunately this can be difficult to obtain in team sports where teams come and go but the study of a Martial Art is not dependent upon others and thus are seen as life long pursuits. Of the many martial arts that are available these days, David sees Rhee Tae Kwon Do as the best fit, there being no need to compete with anyone other than one’s self.
