MASTER DAVID J MOAT

 

(4th Dan)

 

I started training in Tang Soo Do in April 1990, I graded for 1st Dan on 12/2/92, 2nd Dan on 8/6/96, 3rd Dan on 27/7/03, and 4th Dan on 12/12/08.

 

I did judo as a child along with my brothers during the Bruce Lee era, my reason for starting training was to keep fit and try a martial art, at school I was only average at sports and hated football, so Tang Soo was something new which I took to straight away and really enjoyed, we took part in competitions every year and I was a member and captain for our free fighting team, for a long period of time training was aimed at championships and gradings.

 

I enjoyed competing in championships but I was aware that it was not real self defence, my primary reason for training is that I enjoy it, I believe that training in Tang Soo Do  can benefit everyone, the benefits of training cannot be more positive.
