I have been training with UTKD since 2003, progressing from white belt to 4th Dan Black Belt.
Competitive sport has always been a major part of my life. In my earlier years, prior to taking up Taekwon-Do, I was a competitive swimmer and National League water polo player.
Although now retired from international competition, I have successfully represented England in the veterans’ categories at both European and ITF World Championships, achieving three silver medals and three bronze medals in international competition, as well as many national titles.
Having a professional teaching and learning background, I use my skillsets to apply my knowledge and experience into advancing training with UTKD and ITF England, to the benefit of all students.
Mr. Thorley teaches at the UTKD Ludlow 1 & UTKD Ludlow 2 venues.
