Paul Staniforth

Paul has been teaching children Martial artsi n chesterfield for over 20 years. He has been instrumental in supporting his local club and association in raising the profile of martial arts and providing children and adults of all ages and from all cultures with opportunities to learn martial arts and study the discipline. He puts the needs of the children as paramount and will go that extra mile in support of his community, club and particpants. The childtren at his local centre all know and respect him. Some of these children have little materially or come from broken homes and martial arts provides them with an outlet to particpate, make friends and also achieve where they may not do so academically. Without Pauls dedication to the children and the club, it would not be the success it is today. It would just be nice to recognise his local cobntribution.
