Mr Hourican started Taekwon-Do at the age of 22 years under Mr Tony Manning then a 5th degree Instructor. Due to work commitments Mr Hourican unfortunately was unable to train for a few years, until he began training again in 2004 with Mr Nick Symonds then a 5th degree Instructor (now Master).
As a competitor Mr Hourican has entered several National, regional and inter-club tournaments over the years winning numerous medals along the way. Mr Hourican has also had a hand in coaching some of our hopeful competitors, with a great deal of success.
As an Instructor Mr Hourican is constantly trying to further his own education in Taekwon do, through attending IICs (International Instructor Courses) with ITF technical committee as well as other leading GM’s and Masters.
Mr Hourican is also a Class B umpire and keen competition referee.
GM lan is considered by many as one of the most knowledgeable Grandmasters in ITF Taekown-do. GM Lan who now resides in Germany is originally from Vietnam where he began his training as a teenager. With more than 50 yrs experience as an Instructor, Grandmaster and national team coach for Germany GM Lan's knowledge is vast and invaluable to TOTAL TKD members.
Having been promoted to Master by the founder of ITF Taekwon-do Gen. Choi Hong Hi, GM Lan has a true understanding of the Founders vision of the art, which can only be understood by few practitioners across the world.
In 2016, GM Lan was part of the ITF promotional committee who promoted Master Symonds in Canada to the rank of 7th degree. Since then Master Symonds has forged a strong bond with GM Lan who has visited England to train TOTAL TKD students in 2017 and 2018.
We are proud to announce Gm Lan has now accepted the title as TOTAL TKD honorary member and has agreed to visit his new ound TKD family annually to continue passing of his knowledge to our students.
