COVID-19 CAUSES ALL CLASSES TO CEASE
Just one day before our initial intake of students were about to undergo their first coloured belt grading, we were instructed to cease classes in accordance with Social Distancing measures. We fully support this decision and urge everyone to stay indoors, protect yourselves and protect the NHS and other people doing vital work. In the meantime we continue to interract with our students via video and Social Media and look forward to resuming training once this emergency has passed.
STAY FIT, STAY FOCUSED & STAY STRONG
We have a unique and exciting time to stay fit and active. There are vast resources available online to maintain a healthy lifestyle in these extraordinary times.
Until it is safe to resume classes, all resources on this site are provided free and without committment. Our school only opened in January 2020 and we were just starting to get an influx of students when this crisis hit. By being proactive and adaptive, we fully expect to return to normal training once we get the all clear.
As a brand new Taekwondo School, all of our current students are white belts, keen to advance on their journey and obtain new belts and learn new patterns. You could be one of them!
You are never too old, one of our students is in his sixties. I personally only took up Martial Arts in my forties. You are never too inflexible. We can all think up our own excuses, but you never know until you try!
ONLINE CLASSES
As a Taekwondo beginner, you start as a white belt. You learn the rules and etiquette of the Dojang (Training Hall) and the origins of Taekwondo.
You will also learn some preliminary stances, strikes and blocks, culminating in Line Work and a Pattern. You will then be invited to grade to White Belt / Yellow Stripe,
where you will successfully demonstrate what you have learned to date and thus commence your journey, ultimately progressing all the way to black belt!
OUR FIRST ATTEMPT!
Matt & Cheryl venture to the local park to demonstrate White Belt patterns and Line Work.
