Instructor Profile

Master Marc Fitzsimons

Master Fitzsimons

Chief Instructor

I have been practicing ITF Taekwon-Do for over thirty seven years and I can truly say that attending my first class was the best thing I ever did. The benefits of the training over the years have kept me fit, flexible and motivated in all aspect of life. ITF Taekwon-Do is in my opinion a complete martial art and practical self-defence that has many additional benefits.

I started teaching classes in 2005 in the United Kingdom, where I built a successful school, guiding many students to their Black Belts and beyond. I also coached many students to competitive success on the local and national competition circuit. In addition I have also trained and mentored Black Belt students to open and run their own schools.

I was a member of the England Taekwon-Do Association, where I held positions on the organisations technical committee and Black Belt Grading Panel. In addition I was also part of the coaching team who conducted training seminars and Instructor courses during the year.

I now teach here in Sydney and have had the pleasure to introduce many more students to the wonderful art of ITF Taekwon-Do and look forward to introducing more in the future.

Parallax TKD

Taekwon-Do School

Parallax Taekwon-Do opened its doors on the 12th of March 2019 under the Instruction of Mr Marc Fitzsimons. Since our first class we have slowly built a community of children and adults who attend classes on a weekly basis. As the Instructor of Parallax Taekwon-Do, I have been pleased to see a new generation of students gain and enjoy the benefits of ITF Taekwon-Do.

For myself, I have been involved in martial arts for most of my life, studying Judo from an early age and then discovering ITF Taekwon-Do at sixteen. I have been training in and teaching Taekwon-Do for over 37 years, achieving the rank of VII Degree Master. I have had a successful martial arts career and have also achieved qualifications as an International Instructor and grading examiner.

I previously operated a school in the United Kingdom for over 13 years, guiding many students through to competitive success and several to Black Belt Degree levels. I am a dedicated Instructor, and understand that everyone has different goals and reasons for starting to study a martial art.

I strive to help and guide every student that I teach to achieve their full potential. I cannot emphasize how much of a positive impact studying ITF Taekwon-Do has had upon my life.
