GM Ellis 50th Taekwon-Do anniversary

We were delighted to joining the celebration held in honour of the 50th Taekwon-Do anniversary of Grand Master Orello Ellis on 10 June. The day was eventful and encompassed two seminars delivered by GM Ellis and Master Jedut at George Green School, as well as a lovely dinner in a local restaurant.

GM Ellis 50 TKD anniversary - Arch Combat Academy Wembley Park Taekwon-Do Martial Arts Carlo Martinelli

“I endeavour to see continued growth and development within ETA TKD and to see more passionate instructors that will produce top class students. It would be a positive and great change if the crippling politics in TKD was ostracised and authentic students and teachers train as we should, without restraints. Sadly as the year’s progress in these changing times, business is often the prime agenda in many cases and TKD is secondary, so student’s technical abilities suffer. I don’t foresee this unbalance being corrected in a hurry. Despite this, however, TKD remains to be an exciting art in unarmed combat for self-defence, discipline, fitness, flexibility, self-control, confidence and strength.”
