What happens if I would like to do more TAE KWON-DO?

Well it’s easy; all you have to do is turn-up at any of these classes

Just wear loose comfortable clothing such as a tracksuit & tee shirt and joint in.

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. All new students are reviewed after 2 months to see if how they fit into the class make-up. remember we have specific junior classes for TAGB Tigers

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 is cost?

To start with there is a two-week introductory period, which is free! After that all you need do is meet the monthly training fees, which are currently £16.00 per calendar month. That will entitle you to train on one night only, should you wish to train both nights the cost is £26:00, which also allows you to train anywhere else in the TAGB for no additional cost! 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. 

"Tae Kwon-Do is a martial art and sport that without the use of weapons teaches the practitioner techniques for defence and offence. Regardless of age or sex, Tae Kwon-Do teaches the practitioner to use his or her hands and feet in any defensive situation."
