A central element of Taekwon-Do are its 24 Patterns (Tul) which are learned as a student progresses through the grades. These are sets of fundamental movements, both offensive and defensive against an imaginary opponent. They help the student to develop correct technique, balance and precision.
Progression through the Junior Taekwon-Do syllabus is by a hierarchal
colour belt grading system. There are six belt colours, ranking from the
lowest, white, then through yellow, green, blue, red, to the coveted
black belt. Each colour,
with exception of black, has two levels of grade, making ten in total.

Although we
are a Traditional Martial Arts School, we actively participate in Sport Tae Kwon-do - Competitions.
Academy students are regular travellers to competitions all over the UK and in some cases, have represented their country in the National Team at International events. This will give you another focus for your training and also a feeling of achievement, not only if a trophy is won, but for having the confidence to enter. |
Our Programme will build the mental and physical skills to allow you to deal with any intimidating situations that may occur. Students can then test the effectiveness of their techniques in various ways.
