Teen/Senior Taekwon-Do
Our ITF Taekwon-Do classes combine fundamental movements, patterns, kicking, sparring, self-defence, breaking and much more. Practicing Taekwon-Do is excellent for physical growth, overall health, agility, improved co-ordination, and the development of strong mental capacities.
Our Instructors have a wealth of experience to share with you and no experience is necessary. Classes are friendly and fun, so whether you are in it for exercise, self-defence, or to become a "World Champion", we can help you achieve your goal.
Whatever the reason for coming along, you will quickly become aware of the many benefits of training. Martial Arts students feel healthy and physically fit. They are confident as they are learning to defend themselves, and this quiet confidence filters through to all phases of their life including home and work. Furthermore, as you progress in the Martial Arts, you will gain a greater respect for yourself and others.
Almost all people training in Taekwon-Do say that their confidence has improved and that this extends beyond training, into other areas of their lives.
Our programmes provide: positive stress release, a creative exercise platform, the empowerment of "Real-Life" Self-Defense skills, and unity not found in other social arenas.

Competition
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 abroad. 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. Competitions are a great way of adding an extra focus for training as well as aiding with confidence and team building. Students are encouraged to participate and attendance is mandatory at higher grades with many competitions are made available throughout the year.
At MWBA there is also a great history with our Blackbelts representing Scotland in the Scotland Team at both European and World level events.
