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 courtesies that we extend to everyone, and we always are available 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 times 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 to 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.
What happens if I would like to do more TAE KWON-DO? Well, it’s easy; all you must do is complete this contact form and then turn-up at any of these classes:-
Monday The Campus, Locking Castle Juniors 7:00pm
Adults & Teens 8:00pm
Wednesday Hutton moor sports centre, Weston-s-Mare
Juniors 7:00pm
Adults & Teens 8:00pm
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 somewhere, we make no presumption on your current level of fitness, you will be asked to work to your own potential, and whatever that might be we will strive to make you a fitter, more flexible and more confident person through exercise!
What's the age range?
We run classes specifically for juniors, it is exceedingly 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 shoelaces. 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 feel 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 £35.00 per calendar month. That will entitle you to train on one night only, should you wish to train both nights the cost is £45:00, it also allows you to train anywhere else in the TAGB for no additional cost! The fees are based on payment made by standing order or, 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 students train once a week, most train for both lessons and a few train for all the lessons available.
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.
