This
page will give you some basic information on what happens and what to
expect from our club
We are always willing to
welcome new members and would like to invite you to come join us on a
training night.
It’s sometimes quite daunting
starting something new, so we will make every effort to make you feel
welcome in the club, it’s one of the courtesy that we extend to
everyone, and we always make time for new students
Tae Kwon-Do is a sport that
is open to everyone regardless of age or gender all you need to progress
through the art is enthusiasm, patience and a willingness to learn this
fun and effective form of self-defence whilst gaining useful skills that
you can take out of the classroom and use on the streets. We do not
train people to be aggressive; through training you will develop
calmness and be much more adept at composing yourself during time of
stress and confrontation. Many people have found training beneficial in
other areas of their daily life; besides just being fitter and stronger
it will also improve your mental focus and self-esteem.
The introductory period is 4
weeks during that time you need pay nothing; if you wish to continue
after that it's a simple fixed monthly fee, that's all!
We look forward to welcoming
you.

But I'm not fit enough!
We all have to start some
where, we make no presumption on your current level of fitness, you will
be asked to work to your own potential, and what ever that might be we
will strive to make you a fitter, more flexible and more confident
person though exercise!
What's the age ranges?
We run classes specifically
for juniors, it is very difficult to generalise about the start age for
juniors, where you can get a 4 year old the play the violin and a 14
year old who can't tie their own shoe laces. We normally recommend a
round 7 years old is the youngest and we will not accept new students
who are over 70 years old, as they tend to slow the class down a bit!
So if you are between 7 and 70 you are eligible to train. Teenagers are
asked to join the adult sessions, Junior students are regularly reviewed
and after 2 months we review their progress and advise parents on if it
the right choice for them. Please see our
child protection policy.
Will everyone laugh at me?
Starting anything new can
make you fell a little self-conscious, it is a bit like riding a bike,
you may wobble around and fall of at the start but before too long it's
easy and fun
How do I get to become a
black belt?
If you train hard and listen
to your instructors getting a Black belt is a possibility, you’ll have
to pass 8 separate grading over a minimum of 3 ½ years
What will it cost?
To start with there is a
four-week introductory period, which is free! After that all you need do
is meet the monthly training fees, which are currently £22.00 per
calendar month. That will entitle you to train on one night only, should
you wish to train both nights the cost is £32:00, also allows you to
train anywhere else in the TAGB for no additional cost! The fees are
based on payment made by standing order, if you pay by cash or cheque it
will cost you a little bit more
If members of the same
family train together there are significant reductions!!
How often should I train?
It's up to you, some people
just train once a week, most train for both lessons and a few train all
the lessons available, it's up to you.
Will I get hurt?
Definitely not! Unlike
kickboxing or western boxing we practice a NON-CONTACT sport where the
skilled use of distance makes sure no one is injured in class.
Please
