Head Instructor - Dudley Hellard
Mr. Hellard joined our school after a short hiatus from the Martial Arts. He holds a 4th Degree Black belt in our style, as well as a 3rd Degree Brown Belt in his original style of Goju Ryu. Mr. Hellard is an accomplished teacher, and a credit to both the Martial Arts and our School. We have become better as a school due to his decision to enroll with us, and I appreciate him more on a daily basis. Mr. Hellard is now an integral part of our school, and we would not know what to do without him! Mr. Hellard competes in PKC tournaments in Weapons, Kata and Kumite.
