What is Taekwondo?
The name certainly translates as the way of the foot and the fist – the art of kicking, punching and unarmed combat.
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art focusing on head-hight kicks, jumping and spinning, and fast kicking techniques. This sport has roots in various Korean forms of martial arts, stretching back more than 2000 years.
“Tae” intends to break or attack with the foot.
“Kwon” means to break with the fist.
“Do” interprets as the art or way.
Taekwondo concentrates on combining combat techniques and self-defence and is an excellent form of exercise mixed with fun as an art.
As a sport, it has over 70 million practitioners across the world. It originates from South Korea, where the world governing body, the World Taekwondo (WT), is currently based.
In Taekwondo, attacking and defensive movements, including punching, kicking and blocking techniques, and differing stances, are done in a set series and are referred to as Poomsae. These basic movements bring together all the martial art skills in a graceful yet powerful manner.
Poomsae forms are a significant part of Taekwondo’s promotion process, and practitioners must demonstrate a good understanding of the forms before progressing to the next grade.
A Bit About Me
Making a Positive Impact
My goal is to inspire and motivate the youth and adults to become more active, make healthier choices, and share the experience of shaping oneself into a better person every day. I became a Taekwondo Instructor to help my students achieve their health and fitness goals with martial arts. More info about me and my Taekwondo journey to blackbelt can be found in my website's "About" section.

In-Person Taekwondo Classes
In-person classes at a venue are subject to the number of participants who can learn life, team and social skills, self-defence and earn higher grades in belt promotion exams and a Kukkiwon black belt that is internationally recognised.
Length of the sessions
Tots (4-6) – 30 minutes
Kids (7-11) – 45 minutes
Teens & Adults (12+) – 60 minutes
Kids at a young age have a limited ability to focus. For this reason, the sessions are shorter than classes for teens and adults for better learning outcomes. For example, the lessons shouldn’t be longer than 30 minutes for six-year-olds. As a rule, 5 minutes for each year of age.
Taekwondo Online Fitness Classes
Make your health a priority, and train safely from home! Join my Zoom classes.
Age is just a number if you take good care of yourself! Humans are designed to move! Movement is something that our genes expect from us! Physical activity is essential, has physiological benefits, and contributes to social and psychological well-being. Regular exercise also has a notable tactic against contracting any infection in the first place and slashes the risk of severe disease.
Zoom allows us to meet and exercise together “face-to-face” during this time of crisis with COVID-19 and when meeting in person isn’t possible. It also enables individuals from other regions or different countries to join.
It doesn’t matter where you are based as long you can train safely from home. You are all set to go if you have at least 2m x 2m of free space available.
There are no geographical limits for training with me or earning higher grades, and a Kukkiwon blackbelt is internationally recognised.
Taekwondo Poomsae Coaching
When executing kicks, blocks, and punches with power, you must maintain a proper posture with the correct foot and hand position without compromising your stance. The Korean term for Taekwondo forms is Poomsae. Besides, forms are also known as patterns that teach your body a good balance.
Poomsae forms are a significant part of Taekwondo’s promotion process, and practitioners must demonstrate a good understanding of the forms before progressing to the next grade.
Taekwondo Poomsae coaching sessions are available to any student! Please use our booking system.
I am happy to help! Fees are payable via PayPal or Bank Transfer! Please don’t hesitate to contact me in case of any questions.
Health Benefits
You do not just pay for Taekwondo! You invest in the fitness, health and opportunities that this sport provides to help you develop the attributes that will serve you throughout your life and allow you to endow others’ lives.
Taekwondo is an excellent exercise and martial arts form, bringing health improvements such as balance, flexibility, stamina, strength and posture.
It reduces the risk of developing several diseases like type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. In addition to the physical health improvements, Taekwondo benefits mental health through increased confidence, improved self-esteem, focus, concentration levels and self-discipline.
If you want to get fit and lose weight, you need to fix your diet! You can’t overtrain a lousy diet; eventually, bad eating habits will translate into your health.
