Due to the lack of participants, we must cancel the adult and teenagers (over 10) Taekwondo one-hour lesson on Saturdays at 12:30 pm.
Of course, our “regular” one-hour lesson is still held at 1:30 pm every Saturday.
Taekwondo is much more than just a sport. It is a way of life. It instils confidence, motivation, goal setting, focus, Self-discipline, respect for others and confidence in your abilities. Do not hesitate to join us. The first lesson is free for anyone who wishes to try it.
(See this article for more information about Taekwondo.)
