About Colin Wee
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
Do you need some insight on your martial arts path? Do you find you're lacking direction? I'm happy to share my knowledge as a martial arts and self defence instructor.Colin does Traditional Taekwondo in Perth W. Australia.

Experience
Started training in 1983 and have participated in three main styles in three continents over the last 23 years. I have a 4th Dan in Taekwondo, 1st Dan in Renzhe Kung fu, and while unranked, have trained for several years under an Aikijujutsu instructor. I have teaching certification from two organisations, and play an active role in an international martial arts organisation. The last couple of years have seen me researching and documenting the evolution of Taekwondo and its bunkai. My approach is to pair pattern applications and drills to student skill level. Lastly, while I enjoy the respect and comradeship from my colleagues, I am an instructor working with a small group of students, and am on my own martial path.

Organizations
American Karate and Taekwondo Organization Molum Combat Arts Association International Alliance of Martial Arts Schools

Publications
1. http://a-kato.org/articles.html 2. Ch'ang Hon Taekwon-do Hae Sul: Real Applications To The ITF Patterns 3. Combat Magazine (UK) - part of an interview

Education/Credentials
BBA 1995 Cox School of Business MBT 2005 University New South Wales

Awards and Honors
Teachers Certification 2003 MLCAA Honor Society Award 2004

Past/Present Clients
A few years in the past had me deal with a range of corporate and retail students, though mostly I don't teach for or charge any money.
