Riley Delanoue
2nd Degree Senior Instructor
Riley was introduced to Arakan by a friend and has been a student since 2010. He loved that he was learning self defence techniques and quickly realised that he wanted to share this knowledge with others.
Riley’s warm nature makes him loved by all his students and colleagues alike. He is open and approachable and can teach anyone, regardless of their age, perceived physical limitations, health and fitness levels. Riley is very adaptable and able to help his students get the most from their training and become the very best version of themselves.
Riley trains hard, has a great training ethic and enjoys his training. Riley’s students love training with him, he loves a laugh whilst he is training and teaching and also has a lot of depth. He is an understanding Instructor and encourages his students to push themselves to train hard, achieve their goals, have fun, all whilst training hard and learning effective self defence techniques.
When Riley isn’t training or teaching, he enjoys mountain bike riding and snowboarding. His greatest Arakan achievement to date is being able to teach Arakan and grading his Orange Belt.
