Expert Instructors & Coaches | Aldershot Taekwon-Do

Meet Our Instructors & Coaching Team

World-Class Pedigree, Decades of Experience, and Elite Mentorship

At Aldershot Taekwon-Do, our exceptional coaching staff is what truly sets us apart. We don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach to martial arts; instead, we utilize a unique small-group breakout system where our senior instructors and assistants divide classes into focused, age- and rank-appropriate training groups.

From absolute beginners taking their very first steps on the mats to advanced black belts, our members receive direct mentorship from an elite team that includes a former national coach and active international athletes currently competing for the official ITF England squad. Explore our coaching roster below to meet the team dedicated to bringing out your best.

Chief Instructor: Mr. Paul Adams, 6th Dan

Founder & Lead Coach | Level 3 Personal Trainer

Mr. Paul Adams began his martial arts journey in 1993, training within the British United Taekwon-Do Federation (BUTF) under the prestigious tutelage of the now Grand Master Tham Ying Au. By 1999, he opened his first club in Denham as a 1st Dan, later aligning with the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) as a 3rd Dan.

A highly successful coaching career followed, highlighted by a prestigious four-year tenure as an official ITF England National Team Coach, where he helped forge World and European champions. Today, Mr. Adams is a certified Level 3 Personal Trainer and runs a full-time martial arts centre in Alton. He commands the mats twice weekly at Aldershot, where he continues his 25-year legacy of producing high-caliber black belts and international-level competitors.
