Sign up using this HelloAsso link. Don't forget that if a child is signed up for Breakfast/Brunch together with a parent, they have free access to the 1.5-hour class. If you don’t want to sign up for breakfast/brunch, it is €25 per child for the class. It is easier and cheaper if you reserve your place before Friday evening. Prices are more expensive at the bar on the day, and you risk the class being full.

Taekwondo classes are almost full, but there are still a few spots left for children, so, if you’re interested, feel free to send a message to .
Hadad, the Taekwondo instructor, would like to offer a self-defence class for teens and adults at the club on Fridays from 6 PM to 7 PM.
