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, including 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, as 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, because discipline and confidence carry over into everyday life.

How to start

Starting is simple. First, book a free trial. Come along in loose clothing, with 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.
