A very special announcement from Athlone Taekwon-Do Academy. We are delighted to announce the promotion of Mr Leon Brydone, 6th Dan, to Head Instructor of Athlone Taekwon-Do Academy, where he will take the lead in curriculum development and class instruction.
Mr Brydone has dedicated much of his life to Taekwon-Do and, more importantly, to teaching and helping children of all ages and abilities. Over the years, he has become an enormously important part of our Academy and has helped countless students develop not only their Taekwon-Do skills, but their confidence, discipline and belief in themselves.
Mr Brydone is highly respected within the Taekwon-Do community. He is an exceptionally skilled martial artist, but what makes him particularly deserving of this role is the way he lives by the tenets of Taekwon-Do both inside and outside the dojang.
Those who know Mr Brydone know the patience, commitment and genuine care he brings to every class and every student.
We are incredibly proud to see him take on the role of Head Instructor and know that the Academy, our students and our families are in very good hands.
Please join us in congratulating Mr Leon Brydone, 6th Dan, Head Instructor, Athlone Taekwon-Do Academy. 👏🥋
