Taekwondo in Southport — Classes for Kids, Teens & Adults
Welcome to Taekwondo Southport, the home of traditional Korean martial arts on the Sefton coast. We teach Taekwondo classes in Southport for every age and every level — from four-year-olds taking their very first lesson to adults starting from scratch. Whatever brings you to the dojang, your journey begins the same way: with a free, no-obligation trial. Book your free trial class or call us on [PHONE].
What we offer
Taekwondo is the traditional Korean martial art of hand and foot — famous for its dynamic kicking, its colour-belt grading system and its patterns (the set sequences of moves that students learn as they progress). It is far more than a fitness class. Every lesson balances physical skill — kicking, blocking, striking and controlled sparring — with the five tenets that give the art its character: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. If you want a structured, respectful, genuinely rewarding martial art with a clear path of progression, you are in the right place. Want the full picture first? Read what Taekwondo actually is.
Who it's for
Kids (age 4+)
Our most popular classes. Children build confidence, focus and self-discipline in a safe, fun, friendly environment — and, as a UK Children's University learning destination, they even earn Children's University credits towards graduation while they train. See kids Taekwondo in Southport.
Teens
A brilliant outlet for energy, a screen-free social circle and a real sense of achievement as the belts add up. Teens train across our junior and adult sessions depending on age and grade.
Adults & beginners
Never trained before? Perfect — most of our adult members started as complete beginners. You will get fitter, more flexible and more capable at your own pace. Women train alongside men in every adult lesson; in a mixed class this is completely normal and works extremely well, with technique and control mattering far more than size or strength.

Why Taekwondo — the values
The tenets are not just words on a wall. Courtesy and integrity shape how students treat each other; perseverance and self-control are tested every time a technique is hard to master; and indomitable spirit is what gets you back on the mat after a setback. This is why parents tell us Taekwondo helps at home and at school as much as it does in the dojang — discipline and confidence carry over into everyday life.
How to start
Starting is simple. First, book a free trial. Come along in loose clothing — no uniform needed yet — and join in or watch. From there you begin at white belt and work through the grading syllabus one step at a time. Our beginner's guide walks you through exactly what to expect in your first few lessons, so there are no surprises.
Classes all year round
Our classes run year-round with real continuity — including through the school holidays. There are no long breaks that knock a child off their stride or stall an adult's progress: you can keep training, keep grading and keep improving week after week, all year.
Proudly serving Southport and beyond
Based in Southport, we welcome students from right across the area — including Birkdale, Churchtown and Ainsdale, as well as Formby, Ormskirk and Crosby. Wherever you are on the Sefton coast or in West Lancashire, you will find a warm, friendly dojang and an easy place to park and train.
