Co-Instructors

Our club is lucky to have two great co-instructors Mr Nick Lee and Mr Shannon Ryan.

Mr Lee says that his ‘energy and passion for Taekwon-Do grew rapidly with Mrs Pimblotts’ instruction style’ and now as joint Instructor of the club it is that same energy and passion he is looking to pay forward into the next generation of North Wellington students. Mr Lee also credits Taekwon Do training with, re-igniting his passion for a greater understanding of human health, physical movement and performance, and the catalyst that lead to him establishing himself as a full-time Personal Trainer.
