The course will be run by Hanshi Riley (how to run a session and how to teach on the mat), Dr Alex Surtees (running a club- health and safety, the human body and child protection) and a fully qualified paramedic with the West Yorkshire air ambulance (first aid). If you are interested in gaining your coaching qualifications please speak to Hanshi Riley to register interest.
