The training atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and safe. You will NOT be placed under pressure as a beginner, the pace is gradual. It will increase as you progress and become more confident but we work up to that level together step by step. Our philosophy on teaching is simple - if a student comes to train with us with limited confidence, placing them under pressure in the early stages will not improve their confidence, but may well destroy what little confidence they already had! It is worth noting that all instructors are HSE First Aid qualified and DBS (police) checked. The school is a member of the APTI (The Association of Professional Taekwondo Instructors). Through Master Ferguson's (Chief Instructor of the A.P.T.I.) successful career in Taekwon-Do he has loyal friendships/links with some of the UK's most successful Taekwon-Do practitioners and as a result the school offers a good variety of seminars.
