James Gunn

1st Dan Sport Karate

Head coach for BMMA Morley Academy

I started training taekwondo at 10 years old moved over to BMMA at 12.

My proudest moment would be podiuming in the kickboxing at the unified world championships. Stepping up to full contact was always a big ambition of mine and meant more than a lot of my wins.

I wanted to teach full time because I love how Martial Arts can shape a life. I feel very lucky to be a part of people’s journey in Martial Arts and hope to make a difference to everyone’s life who comes through the doors.

I believe I can use my experience with a SEND cohort as well as years of teaching Martial Arts to foster a relational approach to teaching martial arts. Giving students the platform to fulfil their potential – both as martial artists and individuals.
