Taekwon-Do classes for beginners
We do occasionally hold beginners-only classes, but these can sometimes be months apart and depend upon the space available in the dojang.
The best way to start in the meantime is to just turn up and join in! Or turn up, watch one class, and then join in next time.
To check if there is a beginners class coming up, or to make arrangements to have a go at Taekwon-Do, contact us now and we will let you know.
What is Taekwon-Do?
Taekwon-Do is the modern form of ancient Korean martial arts and Japanese Karate. The founder of Taekwon-Do, General Choi Hong-Hi, combined the various martial arts that he had studied into one martial art, Taekwon-Do, by refining the best techniques from each of those arts and applying scientific formulae and military tactics.
General Choi then proceeded to introduce Taekwon-Do around the world, culminating in the formation of the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF).
What our students say
“I love Taekwon-Do not only for the exercise that it provides, the physical discipline that it requires, and the skills that it teaches, but actually for the community that comes with it.
I’ve been a member of Spirit Kelburn for over 8 years, and the thing that has kept me coming back year after year is the people; the club is such a supportive and welcoming community for students of all skill levels. Instructors and peers alike make for a fun and encouraging environment that challenges us and allows everyone to learn from one another.”
Tom
“My 13 year-old son started Spirit Taekwon-Do Newlands when he was 12. He loves going to every class, even when the weather is freezing for stepping outside at 7pm.
A special thanks to the teachers who taught him really well. He was so excited to receive his double-pass on his very first grading test.
I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to build confidence and learn this art.”
