You will get as much out of Tae Kwon-Do as you put in; but the martial art attracts people from all walks of life for different reasons:
- Fitness: classes are a good work out, and a great way to keep fit, with classes once or twice a week
- Self-defence: as detailed on our Curriculum page, we teach practical and realistic self-defence techniques which are a great way to increase confidence and defend against bullying
- Discipline: for adults and children alike – to gain a black belt in Tae Kwon-Do is to gain a Degree, and the martial art teaches important life skills such as dedication, perseverence, respect. Discipline and respect are deeply embedded in Tae Kwon-Do
- Confidence: students gain confidence through learning a new skill, meeting new people, and the buzz of passing a grading and being awarded your next belt is not to be missed! Students can gain confidence physically and emotionally as Tae Kwon-Do is a work out for the body and the mind.
We have helped students to place successful applications for sporting grants and also assisted with Duke of Edinburgh, GCSE and A-Level PE assessments.
For a better idea of what to expect from a lesson, please see our Curriculum page. This 5-minute video was made for us by one of our students and we think it gives a really good idea of what the classes involve, with most aspects covered.
