NAME: Brodie Norton

POSITION: Branch Instructor

Shim Jang Taekwondo Branch Instructors are a indeed “Special Breed” of martial artist, their dedication to the art and its members is first class and they relish the responsibility and burden of operating and managing a class in accordance with the WSTA guidelines.
Our Branch Instructors have diligently worked their way to their positions by way of a process that provides them with the knowledge and ability to confidently teach, manage and administer at this important level.

Once they have completed their Dojang Assistant Training and served time as a qualified Assistant Instructor our Branch Instructors are then “Hand Picked” for their position by our Founder Master Instructor Les Hicks and his expert team of Master and Regional Instructors.
This gives our members the confidence and peace of mind in knowing that their instructor has not been rushed or forced into their position before they are properly and professionally equipped to deal with the responsibilities attached to becoming a qualified and successful Instructor in the art of Shim Jang Taekwondo.

Brodie has been training in Taekwondo for over 14 years, and this will be his 10th year as an Instructor. Outside of martial arts, Brodie is studying Medicine at James Cook University and would like to use his degree to help disadvantaged communities in the future.
