About the Business

The club first opened in 1980, (I don't know who at this time the instructors were). The club opened in a wooden hall, at St Oswald's Church Hall, Lancaster Road, Preesall. Over the number of years the club grew and new Instructors took over. One of the Instructors in 1982 was a gentleman call Mick Jordan, who ran the club with the help of Master I Ross.

In Feb 1990 age the age of 10 I started Taekwondo in the new hall at St Oswald's Church. If I remember that night there was approx. 25 new junior students started with myself. The Instructor who was running the junior session at the time was a gentleman called Ian Ross. When I started Ian Ross was a 3rd Dan Black Belt, and since then he has passed his gradings and obtained his Master Grade within Taekwondo. In 2011 the Wyre Taekwondo Associates were pleased to award Master I Ross with his 7th Dan. Today Grand Master Ross is the club advisor of both Preesall, Hambleton and Winmarleigh Taekwondo Club's.

Grand Master Ross became instructor of both the senior and junior classes as Master Jordan passed the club over to Master Ross, as Master Jordan was now looking to go back to his roots from the army and was re studying his ju-jitsu (Today Master Jordan is a 7th Dan Grand Master in Taekwondo). Grand Master Ross was now running both sessions the seniors and juniors on the Monday and Thursday nights.

Both before and after I gained my black belt I was being taught to teach within the club. This grew in time taking 30mins here and there, growing on to a full session etc, helping out at gradings, competitions etc. A number of years later, Grand Master Ross passed the club over to myself, at this time I had just obtained my 4th Dan and become a Master Grade.
