Absolutely not. All of our classes welcome complete beginners. Our instructors guide you from the very basics, so you can start at any time, at any experience level.
For your first class, comfortable sports clothes are fine - a T-shirt and jogging bottoms work well. Once you join, you'll need a Taekwondo dobok (uniform), which we can advise on.
Gradings take place periodically through the year. Students progress through coloured belts by demonstrating technique, patterns (poomsae) and sparring skills. Students grade when they are ready - no pressure.
Once you're a member, you'll eventually need a dobok, sparring pads and protective gear. We'll guide you on exactly what to buy and when - don't worry about this for your trial.
Yes. As part of the British Taekwondo network, students can compete at local, national and regional levels when ready. Competing is entirely optional.
Safety is our top priority. All instructors are DBS checked, first aid certified, and trained to work with young children. Sessions are structured, supervised and age-appropriate throughout.
