David Tedora , 2nd dan

David has been training at Imperial since January 2002, and earned his black belt in December 2006. Currently a 2nd Dan black belt, he holds a BJJAGB level 2 coaching qualification and a level 4 certificate in Kobudo. He is CRB cleared and trained in First Aid. He has competed at Southend in the Random Attacks and groundfighting category and recently graded to green belt in Doce Pares Escrima.

David says:
"As an adult beginner with minimal athletic experience, I took a while to adjust to the new levels of exertion involved, but the first time my instructor hit me, just hard enough to unbalance me for a throw, the martial arts fairy waved her magic wand, and I found myself thinking ‘I want to be able to do that.’ I’ve been under her spell ever since.
