After many years of dedication to the dojo, Rhian has decided to step away from her role within South Wales Martial Arts Academy and Barry Kyokushin Karate.
Over the years, she has played a huge part in the growth and development of both club and organisation and has given an enormous amount of time, energy, commitment, and passion to the students and wider dojo community. From coaching and supporting students, to helping organise events, gradings, and competitions, her contribution over the years has been significant and appreciated by many people.
Together, we shared many memorable moments, achievements, challenges, and successes throughout the years, all of which will remain an important part of the history of SWMAA and Barry Kyokushin.
On behalf of all the instructors, students, parents, and families, we would like to sincerely thank Rhian for everything she has contributed to the dojo over the years and wish you success for the future.
