About Icon Academy
Vision
Welcome to Icon Taekwondo Academy, founded by Michelle, a passionate and dedicated lead instructor with over 20 years experience in martial arts.
Michelle began her Taekwondo journey at age 10 with the esteemed Taekwondo club New Wave, training under the expert guidance of Masters Alex Edwin, Phil Somerset and Annemarie Gannon.
​
In addition to her experience within martial arts, Michelle held an Outstanding rating with Ofsted, overseeing children services for many years.
​
"The goal is to use a trauma informed practice through martial arts to heal and prepare students for real life."
​
The commitment to the art is what has shaped her passion to dedicate her career to working with children, young people and families in social care. Michelle was also a part of the initial London Region team and took part in several national and international competitions throughout her Taekwondo career.​​
