Master Ward started practising the Martial Art of Tang Soo Do in 1985 at the age of 21 under the tuition of Master Kim Tong Mun.

“I started because a friend of mine at work had started and was constantly enthusing how good it was and being brought up in the generation where Bruce Lee was at his height, I thought I’d go and have a look. Little did I know that all these years later I’d love it and owe it so much. By the way my friend quit after a couple of months. His loss.”

Master Ward believes that the training should be a challenge and yet enjoyable. “I’m very proud of all my students, many of whom are also instructors. I know anybody could come to my club and be met with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere where everyone helps everyone else.”

Master Ward’s main fields of expertise are self defense, the continual development of all practitioners (including himself), forms (Hyungs/Kata’s), weapons, self-defence, breaking techniques, physical fitness and getting the very best out of all who practice Tang Soo Do.

Master Ward has had the privilege in studying under many highly respected Martial Artists such as:
