Tae Kwon-Do is a Korean martial art and is equally suitable for men, women and children (aged 5 and over). Tae Kwon-Do was brought into the public’s attention during the London 2012 Olympics, with Jade Jones winning a Gold medal in the 57kg category (Great Britain’s first ever gold medal in Tae Kwon-Do!) and Martin Stamper reaching the semi-finals.
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.
