Tae Kwon Do Classes for Children and Adults

Tae Kwon Do is a modern Korean martial art which is noted for its fast, high and spinning kicks. You may see a variety of interpretations regarding what Tae Kwon Do means but it is often translated as ‘The Way of Foot and Hand’.

It is an excellent way to keep fit and develops balance, co-ordination and flexibility in students of all ages as well as building confidence and increasing concentration.

We have many families who train together at our school as it a fantastic way to encourage everyone to improve their fitness and learn new skills together.

There is a colour belt grading system that our students follow which will eventually lead to the coveted Black Belt. The colour belts are white, white/yellow tag, yellow, yellow/green tag, green, green/blue tag, blue, blue/red tag, red, red/black tag, black. To gain each belt, students undertake a grading examination where a variety of skills are tested including learning a ‘pattern’ which is a series of moves that become increasingly more intricate the nearer you get to Black Belt!

ABOUT JSTKDJSTKD Martial Arts & Fitness was founded by Head Instructor Joseph Schembri in 2006. Since its creation, the club has grown in size and success, developing an excellent reputation as a school that has a go-ahead approach and an inclusive ethos.

The instructors at JSTKD Martial Arts & Fitness are constantly improving the curriculum, creating a dynamic form of Tae Kwon Do and fitness. They are there to guide, instruct, and motivate you to be the best that you can be.

Classes range from our specially designed programme for 3 -6 year olds (Ninja Kids) through to a range of Junior, Adult and Family options. We offer a warm welcome to complete beginners, improvers and advanced students looking to further develop their skills. Our students come to us for a variety of reasons. Some come for self-defence, some for fitness and others for fun. Each person is treated equally and is trained to the best of their own ability and potential. A student is never compared to anyone else.

The vision of JSTKD is to inspire and excite people’s lives through martial arts, instil the life skills and character of a true martial artist while upholding important values like courtesy, patience, respect, self-control, integrity and discipline.

JSTKD is part of the Tae Kwon Do Association of Great Britain (TAGB) which is a nationally recognised Tae Kwon Do organisation. It was formed in 1983 and has since become the founding member of the British Tae Kwon Do Council (BTC) which is recognised by the United Kingdom Sports Council. As the largest martial arts organisation in the world, the TAGB has over 25,000 accredited members, 600 schools, and organises seminars with World Masters, demonstrations, and national, regional and international championships.

We offer a FREE TASTER LESSON for new Tae Kwon Do students – please feel free to invite a friend who might like to try it out too! Our full class timetable is at www.jsktd.co.uk

Ninja Kids is JSTKD’s programme especially for 3 – 6 year olds. Classes are run by our fully DBS checked Instructors and children will benefit from being in our unique environment where fun, fitness and focus go hand in hand. We offer carefully structured sessions where the children will learn the basics of Tae Kwon Do through a series of activities and exercises which are perfect for younger girls and boys. This has many hidden benefits too as not only do balance, co-ordination and flexibility improve but as well, you will notice improvements in social skills and confidence as the children learn to work together to achieve their goals.

Our Ninja Kids have their very own colour belt system with a twice yearly ‘Graduation Ceremony’. These are much anticipated and enjoyed events at our school, where our youngest martial artists get the chance to show off their talents for family and friends in a positive setting. It is also great practice for when they become old enough to undertake the ‘real thing’. We have many Black Belts who began their Tae Kwon Do journey through the Ninja Kids programme.

When the children become 6 years old, they can progress to our Junior Kickers classes (6 – 9 years) where they will begin to learn the skills necessary to take their first steps on the colour belt ladder.

We offer 2 FREE TASTER LESSONS for new Ninjas to come along and try the classes – please free to invite a friend who might like to try it out too!

We look forward to welcoming you to our school
