DOMINIC'S VISION FOR THE FUTURE
Former British Champion and 1995 Youth Olympic silver medallist Dominic King, has recently decided to retire from top level competition to pursue his coaching career. After a period of poor fortune in the shape of a serious knee injury and then a bout of ulcerative colitis that kept him out of competition for a total of 3 years, Dominic realised that his best chance of competing at the Olympic Games had faded.
In 2004 while recovering from his cruciate ligament injury, Dominic created his business 'Fighting Fit' and founded Fighting Fit Judo Club and has since taught judo in the Norfolk area while juggling it around his training commitments and time with his family.
Although Dominic has been teaching professionally for over 4 years, he now looks forward to concentrating 100% on coaching, which will be a massive benefit to his students.
Dominic presently teaches at grass root level but his ultimate goal is to produce an Olympic Champion within the next decade or two. He believes this to be a realistic goal because although he has never competed at the Olympic Games himself he has certainly competed against and occasionally beaten world class fighters as well as beating World and Olympic Champions in training.
Dominic adds, 'This is my chance to put something back into the sport. No martial artist coaching professionally in the area has seen the top level as closely as I have and I know what it takes to get there'. click here to read details of Dominic's "elite" squad
Despite his ambitions to produce some top judo players, Dominic is not forgetting any of his less talented students. He appreciates that not everyone wants to be the best and that many only participate to improve confidence, fitness or simply have fun. His goal is that each and every one of his students develop into a better person as a result of their time on the mat.
Dominic teaches children and adults at Fighting Fit Judo Club at Corton Primary School on a Monday evening and children and adults at Fighting Fit Judo Club at Winterton Primary School on a Friday evening. He also teaches at several schools in the Norfolk and Lowestoft area but is looking for more schools to take him on board.
Other sessions include teaching take down skills to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/MMA Fighters at Steve Cowan's Brazilian Top Team in Norwich (01493 667507) on a Thursday evening as well as offering personal safety courses for various companies. Dominic is also available for private tuition.
