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.

What happens if I would like to do more TAE KWON-DO?Well it’s easy; all you have to do is complete this contact form 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 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 £25.00 per calendar month. That will entitle you to train on one night only, should you wish to train both nights the cost is £35:00, 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.
