8TH DAN · WORLD MASTER INSTRUCTOR
Patrick Carter. Master Instructor.
Founder and head instructor of P4TKD. Former England team member, World and European team champion, and one of the TAGB's senior officials. Pat has spent decades helping students in Rugby and Kenilworth to be the best they can be.
ABOUT PAT
No nonsense. What you see is what you get.
Pat didn't start his Tae Kwon-Do with the TAGB. He made the switch across associations and went on to win titles in three different weight divisions, team gold for England at World and European level, and every TAGB domestic tournament.
Today he runs the P4TKD clubs in Rugby and Kenilworth, where his students are known for the quality of their grading. Pat trained under Master Jackson White Snr, and he still referees in the centre ring as one of the TAGB's senior officials.
Ask anyone who has trained with him and they'll tell you the same thing: Pat is honest, demanding and always constructive. He pushes you hard, he never lets standards slip, and he's one of the funniest people you'll meet in a dojang.

WHAT HIS STUDENTS SAY
More than an instructor.
"I started Taekwondo as a shy and introverted 7 year old. Training with Master Carter has helped me develop tremendously in self confidence. He is much more than just an instructor for me. He is a great mentor, inspiration and friend."
Anjali
TAGB National Squad member since 2015
“He has always taught us the importance of respect, not just to our parents and seniors, but to everyone. We would not be half as good as we are if it was not for his teaching, guidance and passion for Tae Kwon-Do. As serious as he is, he is one of the funniest people you can meet."
Prien
4th Dan and qualified referee
"I only joined in to support my nervous six year old son. Mr Carter's infamous Tuesday night pad sessions were very tough, but I look back on them fondly. I'm very fortunate that down the road is one of the best Tae Kwon-Do instructors in the country."
Carl
Parent and 5th Dan Black Belt
"I started training with Master Carter at the Kenilworth club in 2019 and felt at home straight away. Pat and the club made me feel really welcome and have continuously pushed me to develop and become better."
Tom
4th Dan Black Belt
"Of all the instructors' gradings I go to, he has got one of the best standards. He is a no nonsense kind of guy and what you see is what you get. Everyone who knows Pat holds him in the highest regard."
David Oliver
TAGB 9th Dan World Master
