ABOUT US
Reflect Martial Arts was established by Kirsty Dickson. Master Dickson started her training in Choi Kwang Do at The Cassar Academy of Choi Kwang Do in Morden where she was awarded her Chief Instructor Certification in 2010. In September 2014 she completed her School Owner Certification and opened Reflect CKD. Master Dickson has been lucky enough to attend many International Seminars as well as those closer to home in the UK. In May 2016 Master Dickson took her 3rd Degree Examination and went on to become a Choi Kwang Do Examiner. The following year, Miss Dickson and Mr Nash travelled to Atlanta to train with the Founder of Choi Kwang Do – Sahjonim Kwang Jo Choi. Most recently, In March 2025, Miss Dickson successfully passed her 5th Degree Grading in front of Grandmaster Kwang Jo Choi and was promoted to the rank of Master in the Art of Choi Kwang Do.
Reflect Martial Arts is based at our dedicated studio in Wandsworth (SW18), delivering structured martial arts training for children, teens, adults and families across South West London.
Reflect Martial Arts has an incredible team of Instructors whose passion, dedication and teaching skills shine through in every class. All members of the team are constantly training and developing themselves and bring this love for learning, personal growth and positive attitude to ever session they teach! Our teaching is grounded in the Pledges and Principles of Choi Kwang Do, reinforcing discipline, integrity and respect in every class.

LEADERSHIP TEAM
BLACK BELT
CLUB
Students invited into our special Black Belt Belt Club must meet our high standards and criteria; they must attend class at least twice a week and have exceptional attendance; they must be good role models to other students and demonstrate correct martial arts’ behaviour and etiquette at all times; they must be behaving well in school, at home and in other areas of their life; they must take their training seriously and be constantly looking to improve their techniques. Our Black Belt Club Members support younger/junior students and so develop good people skills as well as learning teaching methods and approaches from an early age.
S.T.O.R.M.
TEAM
Once a student reaches 10 years of age, they can graduate from The Black Belt Club into the STORM Team. S.T.O.R.M stands for Special Team of Role Models. In this position, a student’s role is similar to that of a Black Belt Club member, but with a little more responsibility.
S.T.O.R.M. team members assist with both the 3-6 and 7-11 year old classes. S.T.O.R.M. members are invited to attend special workshops to further develop their skills. They are one step away from becoming an Assistant Instructor, so begin working with the Chief Instructors to develop teaching techniques and interpersonal skills.
ASSISTANT INSTRUCTORS
Once a student reaches 14 years of age, they can be invited to become an Assistant Instructor. Assistant Instructors play such an important role in Choi Kwang Do Schools, running warm-ups, cool downs, specific drills and exercises.
Assistant Instructors run introductory classes for students new to the Art. For those looking for a career within Choi Kwang Do, Assistant Instructor is the first step along the instructor path.
Assistant Instructors
Reflect CKD has a leadership structure in place to support and inspire other students as well as helping us to run efficient and energetic classes! The standard of our Leadership Team is something we are all extremely proud of.
