Martial Arts
Our Programs & Classes
Students and enthusiasts of martial arts have many reasons for their interest in martial arts. Some are drawn to the physical fitness and weight-loss aspects of training. Others seek to add discipline and self control to their lives. Whilst others are concerned about self-defence and safety.

Leanne's Little Dragons
(For Children aged 4 - 6 years old)
At Leanne's Taekwon-do 'Little Dragons', Children learn basic hand techniques such as punching and blocking, as well as basic kicks. Children develop co-ordination, motor skills, balance and agility as well as increasing confidence. They also learn how to follow directions and differentiate left and right. Little Dragons gets children into a regular exercise routine at a young age and is a fun social event, where children can interact with each other. Little Dragons Taekwondo increases focus and concentration, which can serve as a foundation for academics. Discipline and good behaviour are also taught in a fun and safe environment! These are just some of the benefits of Little Dragons Taekwon-do.

Taekwon-Do
Taekwon-Do is a Korean form of self defence developed by Gen Choi Hong Hi 9th degree Black belt. Taekewon-Do was officially recognised on the 11th April 1955. Translated, "TAE" means to kick or smash with the foot, "KWON" denotes fist - chiefly to punch or destroy with the hands or fist, and "DO" means art or way.
The Taekwon-Do practiced at the centre is affiliated to the International Taekwon-do Federation (I.T.F). At the M.A.F.C we have special classes for Men, Women and Children with different classes available for different grades and ages.
Students interested in taking gradings to earn highly regarded belts can grade and achieve Black Belt recognition with the International Taekwon-do Federation (ITF). Also, providing students have the necessary protective equipment they can also enter regular Tournaments Nationally and Internationally.
Remember your first lesson is free and all you need is a pair of track-suit bottoms and a T-shirt to start!
For more information on Taekwon-Do please feel free to view our Class Times, call into the centre or phone Kay/Emma on 01633 222260.
Kickboxing
Kickboxing is suitable for students of all ages from the age of 6 years to Adults.
Students start training for many different reasons such as:
Learn Self Defence
Build Confidence
Increase flexibility
Get Fitter
Make new friends
Tone Up
Children are taught in separate classes to Adults as follows:
Little Kickers 4 to 6 years
Tigers for 6 to 10 years
Cobras for 11 to 15 years
Adults 15-16yrs +
A lot of children start training at the centre to build their confidence and perhaps to help them deal with bullying. Adult classes are very popular with the ladies as well as the men, as they enjoy the special Kickboxing pad work drills which not only tone up the body but also increases their overall fitness levels. Students interested in taking gradings to earn highly regarded belts can grade and achieve Black Belt recognition with NAKMAS National Governing Body.
Providing students have the necessary protective equipment they can also enter regular Tournaments Nationally and Internationally.
If you are interested in joining one of our friendly Kickboxing classes all you need is a pair of track suit bottoms and a T-shirt! Oh and don't forget that your First lesson is FREE! Is there an excuse not to train?
