NATIONAL TAE KWON-DO
FITNESS, CONFIDENCE, SELF-DEFENCE
National Tae Kwon-Do is the ancient Korean martial art that incorporates techniques for self defence involving the skilled application of punches, flying and jumping kicks, blocks, dodges and interceptions with hands, arms and feet to the rapid disposal of your aggressors.
National Tae Kwon-Do teaches the time-tested ‘Art’ of Tae Kwon-Do, which will truly prepare you to weather and overcome many problems you will face in a lifetime.
Taking up martial arts is a great way to shape the mind and body. Self defence classes can prove valuable for anyone and help to increase confidence and personal safety.

I especially welcome mature age students as I have an empathy with them for the struggle of getting back into shape and gaining back flexibility”!
