TaeKwon-Do is a Korean Martial Art that dates back 2000 years.
TaeKwon-Do means “The art of hand and foot fighting” and is used primarily for self-defence.
Dedicated Classes Taught By An Experienced Master
Taekwon-Do Classes
While our TaeKwon-Do classes are open to those aged 7 years and above, there can be many reasons why we want to encourage our children to participate in Martial Arts – this may include promoting self-confidence, protection from bullying, or to increase fitness levels.
At GSMA we also like to reinforce the discipline aspect, as we feel this is an important part of a child’s upbringing in today’s society.
Many adults participate in Taekwon-Do to have a shared interest with their child, to re-engage in a passion they had when they were younger, to learn a new skill or to increase their confidence in various situations.
This Martial Art will help each student gain confidence and know that, if the need arose, they have the skills to take the appropriate action in a self-protection situation, as taught throughout our TaeKwon-Do classes & self defence programme.
Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self control and Indomitable Spirit

Taekwon-Do Classes Are Also Designed For Fun & Fitness
The most important factor is that everyone enjoys our classes, as we incorporate fun and fitness alongside the serious discipline elements.
Sparring is offered to all after their first two gradings. This lets the student gain confidence in their new techniques that are being taught, as they get to spar with their fellow students while wearing full safety equipment. Safety is a top priority in our classes.
Students begin their first class as white belts, as this is the novice belt, but can sit gradings to work their way through the coloured belt system, aiming for the coveted Black Belt. This can approximately take between 4-5 years, however everyone’s journey in TaeKwon-Do is their own, so there is no rush! We encourage everyone to go at their own pace
