The Westhill Choi Kwang-Do school was started by Ms Anna Johnson on 12th January 1995 and was run by her until she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, USA to teach Choi Kwang-Do. Mr. Ronnie Simpson ran the school until Anna returned from the USA and when she retired from training, after her daughter’s birth, Mr. Simpson became the school owner. In late 1999 Mr. Simpson’s work commitments forced him to hand over the school to Westhill based Chief Instructors, Mr. Steve Longmire and Mrs. Violet Mackie, as joint school owners. Mrs. Violet Mackie took over sole ownership of the school on 1st November 2002.
The club has grown by leaps and bounds to its present size and so far has produced a total of sixty nine first degree (Il Dan) black belts, fifteen of whom have gone on to achieve their second degree (EE Dan) black belt, four have achieved third degree (Sam Dan) and one has reached fourth degree (Sa Dan).
Our students range in age from 6 years to 60 years plus and we offer something for everyone, of all ages and ability levels, in a friendly, supportive and family-oriented environment.
