Primary Taekwon-Do

Primary Taekwon-Do is built on the principle of delivering affordable training in fitness and self defence to children and those associated with children. We promise no financial contract will tie you in for years and

No hidden costs ever!

Taekwon-Do is first and foremost an unarmed self-defence martial art. It also has the privilege of being one of the few real ‘Martial Arts’, the term Martial meaning – ‘of the military’. The founder, who was a General in the Armed Forces of South Korea, developed Taekwon-Do through the military academies in South Korea.

There is emphasis placed upon developing various parts of the body to provide powerful defensive tools under attack and equally powerful offensive weapons to counter attack. Along with the physical training there is the introduction of courtesy and discipline required in an institute of learning.

At a local level the original Primary TKD School started in May 2008,  Training is conducted in a disciplined but enthusiastic manner, encouraging participation of all students in a controlled but not forced training schedule that is in line with the curriculum of the International Taekwon-Do Federation, British Taekwon-Do Council, United Kingdom ITF & British sports council.
