No need to feel embarrassed to join, our family orientated Tae Kwon-Do classes are ideal for anyone. We do not discriminate.

What will you learn?
We begin by teaching you the fundamentals of any self defense including; balance, stance and using / changing your body weight. We work on co-ordination and control, understanding how to move before teaching attacking and defensive techniques. All taught in a safe environment. Tae Kwon-Do incorporates traditional movements, attack and defense as well as practical self defense and competition style semi-contact sparring.

Through the military style art of Tae Kwon-Do you will also learn respect, discipline and self-control while gaining confidence, persevering through hard movements and making new friends for life.

Being part of the TAGB (Tae Kwon-Do Association of Great Britain) and BTC (British Tae Kwon-Do Council) allows you to be able to train anywhere in the country. Your recognised grade through our National Governing Bodies allow you to compete regionally, nationally and internationally as well as participating in gradings, seminars and more.
