Doug has over 30 years experience in teaching Taekwon-do, self-defense, and conducting group fitness and personal training sessions. Doug is a seasoned professional in the martial arts and fitness realm. Embracing the belief that martial arts contribute significantly to physical, mental, and moral growth, Doug has diversified his training with cross-disciplinary exposure in Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Zen Do Kai, and Boxing. While adept in multiple disciplines, Taekwon-do holds a special place in Doug's heart and stands out as his recommended art. Fully qualified and possessing an active Level 3 registration with Fitness Australia, along with a Blue Card and First Aid certification, Doug's expertise extends beyond martial arts. His profound understanding of athletic performance, team development, and personal growth is grounded in over twenty-five years of actively participating, captaining, and coaching soccer at the first-grade level. In the realm of Taekwon-do, Doug holds the prestigious title of a registered 6th Degree Black Belt, International Instructor, and Examiner with ITF Taekwon-do Australia. His instructional prowess has made him a sought-after coach for clubs, individuals, and national/international champions, having served twice as a coach for the Australian national team. Doug's commitment to personal development transcends martial arts, evident in his recent studies in Qigong and his attainment of a bachelor's degree as a mature-aged student.
