🥋 Congratulations to our Founder and Head Instructor, Richard Catterick!

We're delighted to announce that Dr Richard Catterick , our head coach has successfully achieved his Level 4 Senior Coach Award, recognising his continued commitment to professional coaching development.

This is a significant achievement and represents considerable work, including extensive distance learning, formal examinations and assessments, as well as attending an in-person coaching seminar with the governing body, the British Ju Jitsu Association of Great Britain (BJJAGB).

At Exeter Martial Arts, we believe that great martial arts instruction requires much more than technical knowledge and experience. It requires a commitment to continually learning, developing and improving as a coach.

We always champion the importance of maintaining high coaching standards and ensuring that our students receive the very best instruction, whatever their age, experience or chosen martial art.

This philosophy also runs throughout our coaching team. We have a structured professional development pathway for our instructors, with defined levels of training, recognised qualifications, mentoring and ongoing development.

Our aim is to ensure that every member of our coaching team has the knowledge, skills and confidence to deliver high-quality instruction and provide the best possible experience for our students.

We don't just develop martial artists at Exeter Martial Arts, we develop coaches, leaders and people.

A fantastic achievement and another example of our ongoing commitment to raising standards across the academy.

Well done, Richard! 👏🥋
