Step by step teaching methods ensure that all techniques are broken down into their critical attributes or basic components. Allowing the student to easily understand the mechanics of each movement. Once proficiency is achieved by repetition, other techniques are gradually introduced - building upon what the student has already learnt. Elements of Taekwon-do, Jujitsu and other integrated self defence strategies have been carefully blended together ensuring that any potential life threatening situation can be dealt with. This includes armed as well as unarmed response. These proven methods are realistic, practical and effective and have come about through experimentation over a long period of time. **The numerous physiological benefits attained from regular practice include:** * Greater flexibility and strength. * Weight loss. * Improved cardio-vascular conditioning and greater lung capacity. * Greater agility, mobility and muscular coordination. * Quicker reflexes and anticipation. * Improvements in both aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. * Shorter recovery time and lactic acid tolerance. * Can help with asthma.​ **​****The psychological benefits include** : * Stress reduction, a clear, sharp, concentrated and focused mind. * Better exam success * Improvements in self confidence and the ability to relax and remain calm in a crisis. * An ability to control and limit the amount of cortisol and nor-adrenaline present in the body during times of stress. * Natural endorphins such as dopamine are released into the bloodstream resulting in a more positive mood and behavior. * The effects of training may also improve the serotonin level imbalance found in depression. * Can help with autistic spectrum conditions Asperger's Syndrome (AS), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We are members of the [International Taekwon-do Federation Union](https://www.facebook.com/UITF.Europe) or ITFU. The ITFU is involved in the promotion of high quality, domestic and international events, which include examinations, seminars and competitions. The organisation is also responsible for the authorization and the distribution of authentic certification to recognized member organizations worldwide. The study of any martial art requires correct attitude. The student's conduct both inside and outside the training hall reflects on the instructor and the school. Respect for others is an important aspect that we continually impress upon our students. Especially with regards to seniors and parents. Young adults and especially children can benefit from our classes. One of the main objectives is the development of self confidence and goal setting. Each stage towards blackbelt is set out in a logical sequence of reachable goals. As the student makes progress through the ranks. They quickly make exam success a habit. A child's progress in school can improve as a direct result of training . This allows the student to believe in their own abilities changing them for the better. Once this idea is implanted in the mind success and positive outcome aren't very far away. ​We teach **Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control and Indomitable Spirit.** As part of General Choi Hong Hi's teachings. These ancient, philosophical concepts are embedded into eastern oriental culture. The wisdom gained will definitely have an impact on the students attitudes and belief system. Through training the body, mind and eventually the spirit - the student will come to enjoy the benefits of good health and happiness. They will also enjoy greater control over the way they think and behave in a positive manner. A common cause or contributing factor resulting in low self esteem is being a victim of school bullying. This may interfere with individual's educational progress, personal development and social interaction skills. This is another reason for your child to learn the necessary skills that allow them to stay safe. Of course the use of physical intervention is the last option our students learn to utilise if they are ever forced to defend themselves. The use of conflict management skills and techniques allow the student to de-escalate a situation effectively. Thus avoiding the use of force. Legal implications and the consequences regarding the use of excessive force are also explained to the student. Defending oneself physically is really the last option and shouldn't be necessary if proper conflict resolution skills are used in the first instance. All students are prohibited from displaying and using their skills in public. ​So if you want to be the best you can be. Then take the first step by pressing the button below and contacting us.
