Meet Our Instructors

Master Ron has trained diligently under Grand Master Kim Yong Ho. As Chief Instructor he has worked tirelessly to share the true purpose of the REAL Martial Art.  Through his teaching and guidance, his students are able to follow the Mudo way for good health. 

Master Hannah started her Taekwondo journey in 1997.  Since then she has travelled throughout Europe, been to India and Korea to represent Kim Chung Do Kwan and the Mudo Academy. 

In 2006 she became an assistant Instructor, which led to her opening her own clubs in 2011.  Currently, Master Hannah teaches at the Willow Road Dojang, Darlington. 

Gill joined Kim Chung Do Kwan after bringing her son to a lesson.  The very next lesson, Gill joined and the rest, as they say, is history. 

Gill worked tirelessly to hone her technique and gather a deep understanding of the Mudo philosophy.  Since earning her black belt she has gone from strength to strength and is now supporting a new generation of students.

Neil joined the Mudo Academy, as an associate WTF Taekwondo and PKA Kickboxing black belt, in 2019 after attending a series of seminars with Grand Master Kim Yong Ho. 

Neil has trained and competed in various Martial Arts but has dedicated himself, as a student and Instructor, to the true Martial Art.  

In 2021, he opened Retford Mudo Academy to share and preserve the Real Martial Art.
