Children
Children who acquire self-confidence at an early age are far more likely to succeed in their adult ambitions. Martial Arts training is arguably the best method of instilling confidence into children and at the same time emphasises the importance of respect and discipline. As a result of the fast and exciting nature of Martial Arts there are thousands of children participating throughout the UK . And worldwide there are millions.
Our system of training is based on inner development and self-expression; concentration, focus, goal setting, self-achievement are the topics of discussion. Motor skill development, co-ordination, flexibility and self-awareness are the basics to the physical training.
Children learn to reach their full potential through our confidence building martial arts programme. Caring Instructors provide expert training in a fun and safe environment to produce positive results.
Taekwon-do will teach your child core values such as discipline and respect. By starting at an early age, they will develop positive habits to last a lifetime. We believe in bringing out the best in your child and have designed our classes to be entertaining and informative. Your child will learn

Women
Taekwon-do gives women confidence and fitness. It is an ideal form of exercise with a purpose and gives women the opportunity to perform against men on an equal footing. It is also an excellent form of self-defence.
Mature students
Age really should be no boundary in martial arts and many clubs can celebrate the success of students and instructors who have started very late in life. Taekwon-do has many mature students and instructors in between 30 and 60 and well beyond! Many of them progress to attain their personal goals whatever they may be. As well as being a healthy form of exercise, Taekwon-do is also a great stress buster!
People with disabilities
Taekwon-do is a suitable form of exercise and self defence for people with a wide range of disabilities. This is because it is taught in a safe and well ordered environment by experienced instructors.
Ethnic Minorities
Taekwon-do was founded by General Choi to bring together people of all cultures. This has certainly been achieved with participants in over 100 countries and over 70 countries sending entrants to the world championships
