International Instructors

My club is Redditch Taekwon-do Club where I instruct along with my father, (Mr Stephen Ridgard), as my assistant. We have been training and teaching together on and off for over 20 years.

My Taekwon-do journey started when I was 11 as my father wanted my brothers and myself to keep active and look after ourselves. I have been on the GTUK National ladies team since 2011, competing in the UK, Poland and Netherlands.

During February 2019 I opened my own club and passed my 4th Dan in October 2019. I enjoy helping in the GTUK, be it setting up for the competitions, umpiring, teaching or even doing demo

In September 2026 I became the UITF Sparring World Champion!

I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for the association and the members within.
