Master Instructor
MR Daniel Sansom
Owner of DJS Taekwondo
Master Daniel Sansom is the head instructor at DJS Taekwondo Academy, bringing over 20 years of martial arts experience to the school. What started as a hobby for him soon grew into a lifelong passion. After earning his black belt, he realized how much he could help others by sharing his knowledge and guidance. This led him to open his own academy, where he now teaches students of all ages.
Over the past 20 years, Master Sansom has trained with some of the best Taekwondo instructors from around the world. He’s familiar with different styles of Taekwondo and enjoys passing that knowledge on to both children and adults. His favorite part of teaching is watching beginners grow into skilled black belts. He believes that if he can do it, anyone can—and he’s seen students with disabilities excel in his classes. He’s especially proud that some of his students are part of the Great Britain Team!
Since 2005, Master Sansom has been a fully qualified instructor, licensed and registered with British Taekwondo. He holds up-to-date enhanced CRB checks and is fully trained in first aid.
To stay at the top of his game, Master Sansom regularly attends courses on a range of topics, including first aid, child protection, and Taekwondo coaching. He holds Level 1 FA Coaching and Level 2 Taekwondo Coaching qualifications.
Master Sansom loves continuously learning more about Taekwondo and finds great joy in teaching students of all ages and abilities.
