Blending Martial Arts Mastery, Education, and Global Representation

At London Taekwondo Warriors (LTW), leadership is not just about rank — it’s about inspiration, service, and the pursuit of excellence.

One of LTW’s most accomplished figures, Master Arian Sadiqi, embodies these values through a unique blend of martial-arts mastery, academic distinction, and international leadership.

From Athlete to Global Sports Ambassador

Holding a 6th Dan Black Belt from Kukkiwon, Master Arian Sadiqi has dedicated over two decades to the advancement of Taekwondo — as a competitor, coach, educator, and international delegate.

His credentials include:

🥋 Kukkiwon-Certified 6th Dan Black Belt and Class 3 International Dan Examiner

Global Leadership and Paralympic Impact

Beyond Taekwondo competition, Master Arian Sadiqi has made a remarkable contribution to international sports leadership.

He served as Chef de Mission for the Afghanistan Paralympic Team at the 2018 Asian Para Games (Indonesia) and the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, attending multiple International Paralympic Committee (IPC) conferences and Asian Para Sport events.

His role as an international delegate has helped promote inclusion, equality, and representation for athletes with disabilities, reinforcing LTW’s belief that sport is for everyone.

Academic Excellence and Educational Leadership

Master Arian’s success is rooted in both discipline and education.

As a Registered Associate Nutritionist (ANutr) and Senior Lecturer at the London Academy of Business and Management, he merges scientific knowledge with coaching experience — helping athletes develop strength, endurance, and healthy lifestyles.

His experience as a qualified schoolteacher across primary and secondary levels further demonstrates his commitment to youth development, learning, and character-building through sport.

Commitment to Safeguarding, Inclusion, and Mental Health

A certified instructor in Safeguarding in Sport (Level 2), Child Protection, and Mental Health Awareness for Sport, Master Arian ensures LTW provides a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for every student.

He is also a founding trustee of the Daanish Foundation UK, promoting education and community welfare, and has served with organisations like Citizens Advice Bureau and the National Paralympic Committee of Afghanistan, championing equality and empowerment.
