Training
What you can expect in our Taekwon-do classes
Training with us, you will find that you’ll be in a very friendly environment with the emphasis being ‘Family’.
You will notice many parents training along with their children which works very well when the child
needs help at home learning terminology for his/her grading tests.
Training normally consists of a gentle warm up slowly getting more strenuous as the lesson progresses. If you just want to get fit Taekwon-do is the perfect way to get in shape.
The adult class runs in conjunction with the Children’s class.
For those that wish to grade and progress through the belts; techniques, patterns and theory are taught from white through to black belt. We teach ITF style Taekwon-do from the BUTF syllabus.

Gradings
Colour belt gradings will take place at the dojangs at regular points in the year so students can progress up

Taekwon-do belts to the coveted BUTF Black Belt.

The BUTF hold bi-annual Black Belt grading tests for advanced students wishing to progress through the Dan grades.
