Elliott Callahan – 4th Degree Black Belt Head Instructor
I have been training in Taekwon-Do since I was 6 years old. I originally started because I was a very energetic child and my parents wanted something to keep me occupied and expel all the extra energy I had. I instantly fell in love with it and have never looked back since.
I am a current member of the Team UK National Team for 18-35 year olds and currently ranked No.1 in the UK in my division. I have won 4 World Championship Gold Medals and 4 European Championship Gold Medals as well as numerous other National and International Titles.
I have represented the United Kingdom at 9 major international championships an
My passion is to impart my knowledge and help others benefit from the Taekwon-Do way of life, whether they want to compete at the highest level or just improve their fitness.

A World and European Silver medallist, Leighton started Taekwon-Do at age 4. Achieving his 3rd Degree Black Belt in 2021, Leighton teaches our junior students and instills in them a strong work ethic whilst maintaining a fun and positive environment.
Leighton has travelled the world competing as part of the Team UK team since his World Championships debut in 2016. Not missing a qualification, Leighton’s biggest achievement so far is his Silver medal in the Adult 3rd Degree Patterns division at the 2022 World Championships in the Netherlands.
Rob Callahan – 1st Degree Black Belt
Rob was the driving force behind his two sons, Elliott and Leighton, starting martial arts as children. A keen martial artist in his youth, Rob restarted his journey with Taekwon-Do in 2010 and has gone on to achieve his prestigious Black Belt.
Teaching our Adult Beginners, Rob helps give them the perfect foundation in Taekwon-Do and preparing them for the rest of their journey. His attention to detail means that every technique is honed, ensuring that each student is more than ready to progress to the next grade.
