A 3rd degree black belt, Mr Taylor is TJ TKD’s main instructor and is also an assisting instructor at NTHKD. Having been training for over 14 years he has competed in over 50 major competitions having won world, international, national and regional titles. Mr Taylor has a whole host of sparring titles and trophies under his belt with a vast knowledge of Tae Kwon Do and self-defence.
Mr Taylor has been training in TKD since he was 10, following an unprovoked assault at his local park. Scared to go outside, Tae Kwon Do gave him the confidence and skills to handle himself should a situation arise. It was an immediate love for the art and Tae Kwon Do has gone on to shape his life, with the invaluable lessons helping him through some incredibly tough times.
“I’m incredibly proud to be an instructor at TJ TKD. My love for Tae Kwon Do is infinite and being an instructor allows me to give back and pass my knowledge on to those who need it. Tae Kwon Do has had an unbelievable impact on my life and helped me through some dark times and I hope to be able to pass on the invaluable skills, lessons and friendships that all arise through the art“.
