Paul Wood

Chief Instructor, Sensei Paul Wood is a 5th Dan black belt in Karate, a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a Black belt in Filipino martial arts. Sensei Paul began his martial arts training in karate back in 1988 and enjoyed a successful time competing for a number of years. Teaching fell in to Sensei Paul’s hands at an early age and with this he slowly began to filter away from competing himself to concentrate his time on producing champions instead.

In 2004 he formed the Oxford Sport & Traditional Martial Arts (OSTMA) school that has now become a succesfull karate school within Oxfordshire and now stretches in to the surrounding counties of Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire.

As a coach Sensei Paul has produced many National, International, Junior World Cup and British Champions as well as placing students on the World Karate Federation National Karate Teams.

Sensei Paul has had the chance to train with many top name instructors of the martial arts including Ian Cuthbert, Rob King, Tatsui Suzuki, Geoff Thompson, Peter Consterdine, Glenn Stevens, Christophe Pinna, Krishna Godhania, Neil Mcleod, Kevin Capel & Roger Gracie to name but a few.

Becoming a father of 2 daughters helped Sensei Paul push himself harder than ever to strive for goals and gave him a deeper insight to child learning and development which in turn continues to drive the club forwards!
