Laura Fox Longdon IV Dan (International Instructor)

 I started training whilst at school under Master Russell Dennis (VIII Dan) (who was my Chemistry Teacher). I achieved my 1st Degree Black Belt in 2004 just as I started a Geography Degree at the University of Birmingham. Whilst at Birmingham I represented the University in the WTF (Olympic Style) winning the student national competitions for both sparring and breaking. I later went on to study for a PGCE and a Masters degree in Teaching and Learning at The University of Oxford. Whilst Studying I gained a coveted ‘Oxford Blue’ representing the University in the Varsity Match and student nationals. 

I have represented England in both sparring and power test (individual and team events) at several international competitions and tournaments. These include the 2013 ITF World Championships in Spain and the ITF European Championships in Sweden (winning Bronze for sparring and coming 4th for breaking. In 2015, I competed at the ITF World Championships in Italy (winning silver for individual sparring and bronze for team sparring) and the ITF European Championships in Scotland (silver in team sparring and bronze in team power).

I am a fully qualified teacher with an MSc in Teaching and Learning and taught secondary-school Geography for six years. I now train and assess aspiring teachers, while continuing to train in and teach Taekwon-Do.

Mr Stuart Fox Longdon IV Dan (Assistant Instructor)

Having met my future wife whilst studying for a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Birmingham, I was persuaded to attend my first lesson in 2005. However, work commitments prevented me from attending regular training for several years.

I moved back to Surrey in 2008 and my commitment to Taekwon-Do has been increasing ever since. I graded to 1st degree under Master Dennis in 2011. Since then I have competed in various competitions (as a participant and umpire) and attended various Taekwon-do seminars. The highlights this year have been attending both the International Umpire Course (IUC) and the International Instructors Course (IIC) in Cardiff, Wales.

I graded to 4th Degree Black belt in 2019 under Master Chesterman and Master Lear and continue to train weekly to master my own Taekwon-do skills. I assist Laura in the design and execution of training at Swift Fox TKD and teach at Mr Adams classes too.
