Dr Norberto Peralta – Chief Instructor
I am originally from Argentina in South America, where I began my training in Taekwondo WTF (World Taekwondo Federation). My first teacher/Instructor was Mr Chung Cha Uhe, 7th Degree Black Belt WTF. I continued training with him until I finished my Medical Degree at the University of Medicine I also reached the level of 1st Degree Black Belt the same year in WTF. I continued training Taekwondo with my Korean Master to help create a school in Argentina 1978, where I became an instructor in WTF. One year later ,in 1980, I won the Argentina Championships. I then moved to Italy in 1988 and opened a school of Taekwondo; from this school I have developed many Black Belt students and National champions.
On tour of Europe and the United States of America I met Chief Master Cesar Ozuna, President of STF (Songahm Taekwondo Federation). While at the 1996 Annual Championship meeting of Songahm Taekwondo, in Little Rock. America, I was introduced to a new philosophy and methodology which I liked. I continued training in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina then became an instructor 1999 training with Eternal Grand Master Haeng Ung Lee 9th Degree Black Belt, and Master Robert Allemier. I became an instructor in double stick weapon (double Behug mahug as well as getting my 2nd & 3rd Degree Black Belt
I moved to Scotland in 2000 with my wife. I have continued to train Taekwondo in order to achieve my 4th Degree Black Belt, opening schools in Kilmarnock, Stewarton and Kilmaurs.
