Jon Draper V Degree

Mr Draper began training soon after his children started with Cardiff Martial Arts.

Initially, it was a reason to do ‘something’ rather than sitting at the side of each class watching what his children were doing.

In the long run, Mr Draper will tell you how he lost weight, gained new skills and has embraced the wider martial arts community making friends all over the world through his travels as a student, instructor, competitor and umpire.

His classes run in Lisvane on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, where he enthusiastically passes on his knowledge and expertise which he has gained from over 18 years of training and involvement in many events, including his Bronze medal from World Championships in 2016.
