"Taekwon-Do"

was officially recognised as a martial art on the 11th of April 1955 and at the same time "General Choi Hong Hi IX Dan" was recognised by his peers as the Founder or Father of Taekwon-Do.

 

Although The founder of Taekwon-Do was Korean it was his sole desire to build a better and more peaceful World for everyone and therefore he gave this Martial Art to the World for free as his gift and legacy.

Therefore, Taekwon-Do is for everyone, however to insure that the origin of this extremely powerful martial art remains pure and  to aid development and education of  this  self defence system  world wide General Choi formed the "International Taekwon-Do Federation" on the 22nd of March 1966 in Seoul, Korea, with the consent of nine participating countries to act as the World governing body for Taekwon-Do.

 Taekwon-Do literally  means Foot (Tae) Hand (Kwon) Art (Do) the art of foot and hand fighting.

There are many benefits of learning Taekwon-Do including fitness, self defence, improved flexibility, improved balance and co-ordination,  improved self confidence, and improved self discipline.

Taekwon-Do is the scientific use of the body for self defence. As a martial art it has no equal. As an art form it is graceful yet powerful. As a sport it is dynamic, exciting and fun. Taekwon-Do training is safe, practical and most of all enjoyable. Taekwon-Do is for all ages, male or female. Children who acquire self confidence at an early age are far more likely to succeed in their adult ambitions.

Our classes for children under the supervision of fully qualified instructors will encourage each child to his/her full  potential, learning new skills and making new friends. For adults, our structured training programme will equip each student with the knowledge and necessary skills required to ably defend themselves.

We provide beginner, advanced and black belt classes and limit class sizes to ensure that each student receives the best level of tuition. If you would like to come along for a free taster session please select a class and then contact us to reserve your place.
