up a military martial arts club in Heathhall, George
Clark, 32, of He
served in He set up
the dojo as part of the British Military Martial Arts group, which is
dedicated
to helping former servicemen and women use martial arts as a career
path after
retiring from active duty. "The
thought of civilian life was a bit daunting after spending so many
years in a
military environment. "But
having these classes to teach people has made a big difference to that.
It gave
me something to focus on very quickly, and I can use the discipline and
respect
instilled in you in the army, and pass that on to others." The classes
are run on a military
theme and are growing so popular George is pushing to open more dojos
across
Dumfries and He
said: "A lot of people like the military side of it. And parents have
told
me that it is also helping with their children’s school work,
as it is about
your attitude and workrate." British
Military Martial Arts was founded by ex-paratrooper and World
