Master Paul Marsh
7th Degree World Master
Paul started his Tae Kwon Do career in 1989, and was hooked from day one. He worked hard for the next four years to gain his Black Belt in 1993, loving all aspects and challenges of Tae Kwon Do training, from patterns to sparring in tournaments.
Paul opened Clevedon Tae Kwon Do Club in 1995 and the club has now been running successfully for 30 years. It has seen many students come through the doors in that time, including family and friends of all ages and abilities.
Paul has found it satisfying to see how the club has helped many students improve their fitness and confidence throughout the years. Some students have stayed for 25 years, with the average being over 10 years.
