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 any 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 TWO 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?

Juniors 7-12yrs (along with their family members). Mondays & Wednesdays
Teen (13+) and adults Mondays & Wednesdays
Please see our child protection policy.
Will everyone laugh at me?
Starting anything new can make you feel a little self-conscious, it is a bit like riding a bike, you may wobble around and fall off at the start but before too long it's easy and fun
How do I 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 gradings over a minimum of 3 ½ years
What will it 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 £27.50 per calendar month. That will entitle you to train on one session, should you wish to train more sessions the cost is £37:50, this payment also allows you to train anywhere else in the South West area 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. NHS employees get a 15% discount on new suits and sparring equipment.
There are Tiger catch up classes on certain Mondays at the campus for any sessions that you may miss.
If members of the same family train together the second person only pay 50% more.
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?
Hopefully not. We practice non-contact sparring, so there is no need to worry about knockouts and cuts, However there is always a risk of the old strain or knock though any type of physical effort, we monitor and maintain a safe ,fun and friendly environment for all our students
Please complete the contact form (here) before you attend your first class
