Master Viresh, the founder of Ace Taekwondo, is a Korean Kukkiwon Certified 5th Dan Black Belt with over 35 years experience.
Having spent most of his Taekwondo career in performance sport in the UK, he has trained alongside some of the highest athletes at National and International level. His mentorship and teachings have been passed down from various UK Masters who have been on the Olympic, World, European, and National scene.
Having started his Taekwondo journey at the slightly later age than most, at 11 years, under the skillful eye of Grand Master Lindsay Lawrence, he found his passion quickly within competitive sparring as he then expanded his daily training alongside London Region Coach & Trainer Master Mark Sargeant.
Other Masters he has gained knowledge from and has trained with include, Master Chris Sawyer and Master Richard Allen. He is also a full standing member of Taekwondo Ontario and Taekwondo Canada since 2004 and has a National Coaching Certified Program (NCCP) certificate to add to his designations. More recently (April 2024), the Club is one of a hanful from Ontario that has been accepted and are an integral part of the Great Lakes Taekwondo United in the USA – a non profit organisation with a mission to develop and fund upcoming athletes.
Since his move to Canada, he has shared his passion for passing on knowledge to the future generations by helping establish the City of Mississauga Parks & Rec Taekwondo Program. In 2009, ACE Taekwondo was founded and he has continued to deliver the best in class programs that has continued to develop students, athletes, and futures leaders within the school and community.
Master Viresh is very active with training and engaging with his students and has developed several generations of Black Belts since the launch of the school. The school is very competition based and is involved at all local Taekwondo Ontario run competitions that allows students to grow in confidence outside of the school. A few of his students have gone onto participate in the Ontario Provincial Team Trials and all Medaling in the Top 3.
His passion in the sport can be seen from the very first day. Engaging students, challenging students and ensuring that they not only learn, but have fun doing so. Master Viresh’s background in fitness as well a personal motivational influencer allows him connect theory with lifestyle applications thus allowing students to grow mentally stronger as individuals.
This is a trait and balance that is very rare in Masters & Instructors and one that has to be experienced.
The principles of Taekwondo techniques are based on the design of your body.
For power you develop the larger, powerful muscles of the torso. The speed of the techniques comes from the fast, agile muscles of the arms and legs. As you progress in Taekwondo you will learn to coordinate this speed and power, and develop a concentration to focus all of your body’s strength into a small, hard striking surface like the edge of the hand or the heel of the foot.
When the speed and power develop through Taekwondo is used in a self-defence situation against the soft vulnerable parts of an attacker’s body, the result can be incredible. Taekwondo allows individuals regardless of their ability to emphasize many of there natural physical strengths, such as power in the legs, while learning a method of self-defence efficiently. Knowing you can defend yourself, your confidence will grow. And confidence alone is usually enough to deter potential attackers.
Every parent wants their child to build confidence, show respect, learn goal setting and discipline. Every parent wants to watch their children improve school work and personal skills. But these are not easily taught simply by good parenting. This is where learning a Martial Art allows the individual to develop the balance of mind and body.
