Best Martial Arts and Combat Sports Classes in Grimsby

Like Karate practitioners, Taekwondo students perform a lot of upper body techniques like punching, blocking and striking. What distinguishes Taekwondo from other martial arts is its superior kicking techniques. In Taekwondo students can learn to perform multiple kicks while flying and jumping in the air.

This can be a tricky one, if your previous grade was from the TAGB, then the answer is generally yes as long as its not been too long since you last trained, however if its been a few years then you will need to do an official assessment and awarded a belt based on that. If your grade was with a Taekwondo club not part of the TAGB or a completely different martial art then unfortunately you will have to start at a white belt.

This really depends on how old and mature the child is. The honest answer is its preferred if the parent stays and watches or joins in. If parents are not present its very difficult for them to understand what the child has to learn to achieve the next belt, they might also need help getting on equipment etc.

There are ten coloured belts which a student must achieve before grading for Black Belt, so the student learns a variety of skills and knowledge step by step. The minimum training time required to reach Black Belt at Train Taekwondo Schools is 5 years.

Taekwondo is open to all students, and of all levels of ability. The TAGB has Black Belt students and instructors with disabilities, such as amputees, and those with hearing & sight impediments. Disability does not have to be a barrier to training.
