COVID-19 Update - September 2020
Regarding any Indoor and Outdoor gatherings of more than six
As you will all by now have heard, from Monday 14th September any indoor or outdoor gathering of more than six people will be illegal, unless it meets one of the limited lists of exemptions.
All BTC member groups please be assured that the BTC (as the National Governing Body for Taekwondo in the UK) can confirm that after consultations with the Combat Sports Group, Sport England, and DCMS - all BTC clubs which are able to operate MAY CONTINUE TO DO SO in line with phase one of the NGB plan (phased safe return to indoor TKD activity).
Stay safe, and enjoy your TKD responsibly with us! 👊🏼
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.

Proving that you can still train in your Living Room, we go through more Line work in detail
VIDEO 3: GETTING THE HANG OF THIS VIDEO MALARKY
It's amazing what you can achieve with a selfie stick cable-tied to a fence post! Joe Wicks eat your heart out!
Having heard that students might be able to double-grade, we go into the Yellow Stripe syllabus
