About the programme
Beginner means exactly that. Personal coaching from the start.
You do not need to be fit, flexible or experienced before joining. Our beginner sessions teach the fundamentals clearly and give you time to develop without feeling judged or left behind.
Classes typically have 10 students or fewer and are usually taught by Chris Jones, who has coached children and adults full-time since 1999. Our small groups give you time to ask questions, receive individual corrections and understand what to work on next. We get to know your starting point and help you make steady progress.
Our approach is relaxed, friendly and encouraging. We expect students to work hard, while making room for questions, mistakes and a sense of humour along the way. Clear guidance and constructive feedback help you improve, and we aim to earn your respect through the quality of our coaching and the way we treat you.
Classes combine Taekwondo and Kickboxing technique, pad work, movement and progressive fitness in a supportive group. Some students enjoy working towards belts and technical goals; others value the fitness, headspace, community and confidence that regular training brings. Whatever brings you through the door, you can expect attentive coaching and encouragement along the way.
