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.)
