We also have many Instructor's who are still members but not actively teaching right now.
Craig Oxley & Kev Miller are considered founding Instructor's at ACMAC. We would not be the same without their contributions.
Sunny Singh (3rd Dan), Nat Loy (3rd Dan), David Colley (3rd Dan) & Stuart Wade (5th Dan) all ran ACMAC Schools at one point in time, all 4 of these won Gold or Siver at World Championships.
Plus the likes of Craig Ford & Stefan Johnson who are still training and are great role models but dont currently teach.
We are very lucky to have had many other Instructor's who have contributed to our success over the years.
