This is our youngest Freestyle Taekwondo group, taking children from 3 years old until they're ready to move up into the Punchin' Pandas group. We cover a range of basic moves including punches and kicks, and teach the basic Kata Chong-Gi. We also cover a range of different skills in class such as; listening, taking instructions, concentration and respect.
PUNCHIN' PANDAS
A step up from the panda cubs, Punchin' Pandas takes children from around the age of 5 until they're ready to move up to leadership/ Junior Dragons. As well teaching the basics of Taekwondo our children's classes have a built in character development programme that teaches self-respect, discipline, anti-bullying techniques and self defence.
JUNIOR DRAGONS
This Freestyle Taekwondo class is for our older children. Like our other kid's classes, it includes our bespoke programme to teach young people the core values of our martial arts and important skills like teamwork, safety and self-defence. We also have a bully-busting group where older children can take on a leadership role to help younger ones who may be being bullied.
ADULT BASIC
This class is specially designed for people who are new to martial arts or who may want a less intense class. We cover elements of Freestyle Taekwondo, MMA and kickboxing as well as building general fitness. If you're worried about joining the main adult class, would prefer a smaller group, or want something a bit more gentle, this would be a great option for you.

You'll be taught in our second dojo and have the opportunity to learn a variety of ground holds, throws, break falls and Katas.

Pilates, Yoga and Tai Chi - this class was developed by Ms O'Connell and combines these three styles as well as elements of meditation for a more relaxed experience.
