Chung Yong Mitcham is one of the longest running clubs in Chung Yong and has Taekwondo classes for both children & adults and is suitable for all grades. The instructors, Cathy Gibbs and Dean Gibbs, are a mother and son combination who both started training in Taekwondo at this very club over 20 years ago.
Tuesday night is split in to two classes with a kids class followed shortly by a senior class. As well as enabling adults and kids to train hard and separately this setup lets students who start training in the kids class move up to the senior class when the time is right. (Often at a time when they need that extra push!!)
Alternatively the Friday class is a joint training session for ages 6 to adult. This class proves popular with families who wish to training together and often gives parents that excuse they need to start training in Taekwondo themselves. (However, don’t expect an easy time, all students at Chung Yong train hard and are keen to push there fitness and continue there progression.)
Cathy Gibbs started training in 1988 under Master William Rose and gained her 1st Dan in 1996. Since then Cathy has started many of the other clubs in Chung Yong before handing them over to their current instructors. As well as being a successful coach Cathy is an experienced referee and has worked at major events around the world.

Within Chung Yong Cathy is one of the most active instructors and is always available to assist students and other instructors.
