Testimonials

Prepared by Mrs. Kareemah, Engineer & Homemaker

 

I trained with GM Daud Harrel for over 2 years in-person, and when life took me abroad, I was thrilled to be able to transition to online lessons for both my 10yo daughter and I.

 

GM Daud’s traditional teaching style, his persona and dedication are not lost online. His patience and expertise bring out the best in students.

 

He does run traditional face-to-face lessons but his commitment to also provide online lessons alongside just proves how eager he is to develop his students.

 

The best points of online lessons to me are the convenience of not having to travel and flexibility - we can take lessons from anywhere even on holiday trips! Highly recommend his online classes to anyone seeking martial arts lessons!

I have been training with Grand Master Harrell for many years but online in the last 3 years.

 

I obtained my black belt under his online tutelage with the test face to face. What makes his classes unique is that you are receiving instruction from a Grand Master with over 60 years experience who has the knowledge but also the field experience of fighting and training fighters for competitions.

 

This is not someone who does theory only nor an armchair warrior. He has practiced day in day out what he teaches.

 

This unique teaching is then channelled online with each class structured and carefully curated taking account of the goals that he wishes his students to achieve and tailored at various points to your individual needs.

 

The emphasis is on your individual growth. He aims to promote each person's potential and is unrelenting in doing by exhibiting the martial code of training that demands your attention.

 

However, he also deploys an engaging conversational manner to vary the pace of delivery. In a nutshell although people talk about Masterclass this is the GrandMasterClass.

Online training: classes were originally face to face only but when COVID hit grandmaster transitioned to online classes via zoom.

 

These proved to be just as effective, during a difficult period in time, as it allowed us to continue with our training, learning kata and doing blocking and kicking drills. Grandmaster offered a group class and an individual class.

 

The group class allowed everyone to meet and practice online each week no matter what our location.

 

The individual class allowed me to focus on just myself and gave me a chance to train at a pace that was suitable to me. It allowed grandmaster to isolate my strengths and weaknesses and to focus on the areas that required improvement by making me practice and practice until I had it perfect.

 

This allowed me to progress alot quicker than I would have otherwise as the focus was solely on myself.

 

Grandmaster is a fountain of knowledge in both Taekwondo and Karate and I greatly benefited from any information or lesson that he taught on a one to one basis
