👨‍🏫 Meet Colin Cass – 3rd Dan Karate Instructor & Certified Nurse

25+ years martial arts | Nurse of 10 years | First aid and safety trainer

Colin brings a rare combination of technical martial arts expertise and medical knowledge. A 3rd Dan Black Belt in Wado Ryu, he’s a Level 3 Certified Karate Instructor who has coached everyone from Little Dragons to national competitors.

With over a decade of experience in nursing, Colin brings empathy, structure, and safety to every class — ensuring that every student, no matter their ability, learns how to protect themselves physically and mentally.

“Karate teaches more than defence — it teaches calm, confidence, and character.” – Colin

👩‍🏫 Meet Tracey Cass – Women’s Self-Defence Coach & Mental Strength Mentor

Black Belt Instructor | Childline Volunteer | Domestic Abuse Survivor

After surviving a mentally abusive relationship, Tracey rebuilt her confidence — not through therapy, but through karate. Her personal transformation fuels everything she does at Mindsparx. She’s now a Level 3 Black Belt Instructor, a previous volunteer with Childline, and a certified safe space for women and teenagers seeking strength and support.

Tracey leads our powerful Ladies-Only Self-Defence Classes in Aberdeen, created specifically for women who have survived trauma, are newly divorced, or want to feel stronger and safer in their everyday lives.

“Karate gave me my voice back. Now I help others find theirs.” – Tracey

What People Say


"It is a great place to be in, great experience that they have."

Abdollah Skaty

"Both of my boys have been attending karate here for 2 and a half years and love coming along. It has a real family friendly vibe and everyone is made welcome. I have also attended some fitness sessions with them previously and made some great progress. It is also a very inclusive club. One of my children is autistic and can sometimes find things tricky or overwhelming and they always take the time to help him through it and build his confidence."
