Who am I?

My name is Master Vendon Wright and I am a 7th Dan black belt of Taekwondo. What makes me unique is that I am the first registered blind Master of Taekwondo in England. I live in Rugby England. I started Taekwondo in 1981 under the Riffs-Rugby international free fighters school. It was run by GM Shahid Yousaf 9thDan and the chief instructor is a legend called GM Murray Walker 9th Dan. If it wasn’t for GM Murray Walker, there would not be any Taekwondo in England. Murray Walker taught the leaders of the WTF and ITF, which produced the TAGB. Murray Walker was the original student of Master Rhee who brought Taekwondo over to England.. Murray Walkers assistant is the well known GM Roy Oldham.

I started Taekwondo after a friend called Waiwah told me to take up Martial Arts. My best friend Azhar told me to come and join his Taekwondo club, and I have never looked back since.

 

In 1986 at the age of 21, I passed my black belt and took over teaching for Master Shahid Yousaf. Even though I was registered blind, in 1997 I passed my 4th Dan black belt under the WTF. It felt amazing to fight Olympic players with my eyes closed. Now I have taught over 50 black belts of my own while working in total darkness.

My family and friends told me that I should spread my positive attitude to helping other people in dealing with issues and challenges, especially as a disabled person. So I started writing inspirational books. In October 2005, I became the first registered blind person in England to write an autobiography and went on to writing 3 books. My  book One a day, contains positive phrases that I use to overcome all the challenges that life can throw at you and there are also tips on how to deal with stress, anxiety and depression.

I have also written therainbowgirlstrilogy.co.uk

His assistant was Grandmaster Roy Oldam who went on to own his own ITF federation. Murray Walker also taught Kev Hornsey of the WTF and many others that we all refer to as Masters.Murray Walker was the first person in England to hold the European championship in Taekwondo. It is because of his strict training that help most of his students go onto become Chairman and Directors of WTF, ITF, GTF and TAGB Taekwondo.​​
