Master Ellison has been training in Taekwondo since 1981.
 
He is a 5th Dan black belt, and is one of only 30 in the country. This is a very high status to achieve, and not many do (which can be seen as there are only 30 of them).

In 1987 he took the title of British Champion and in 1989 he took the bronze position in the olympic team trials.

Always keen to stay up to date with the development of Taekwondo he currently trains with the technical director of WTF Taekwondo for the country, Master Ian Lennox, on a regular basis.

He is keen to educate himself in other styles of martial arts and integrate them back into Taekwondo. He also trains with 6th Dan Jujitsu Master Steve Baker, and incorporates these techniques, where appropriate, back into the self defence element of Taekwondo.

In 1999 he went to Lancaster University where he took a degree in History and started up his first club. After completing his History degree he trained in primary education and is now a qualified teacher. He is currently a member of the BTCB national disciplinary committee and runs the police clearance courses for national instructors in the North West.

Most importantly Master Ellison thoroughly enjoys teaching Taekwondo  and is keen for anyone with any background to take up the art which we all love.
