You can’t always choose what happens. But you can choose what you do next.

Children can’t control everything that happens around them.

But learning that they still have a choice about what happens next is a powerful kind of confidence.

Good martial arts teaching is about far more than showing someone how to kick and punch.

It’s about knowing how to explain, encourage, challenge and bring out the best in every student.

That’s what we work to deliver in every Tan’Gun class.

🥋 8 Levels. One Clear Direction.

At Tan’Gun, becoming an instructor isn’t about being thrown in at the deep end. It’s a structured journey, with support, development and greater responsibility at every stage.

From Junior Assistant Instructor through to Chief Instructor, our pathway is designed to develop confident coaches, strong leaders and positive role models.

We’re looking for people who care about high standards, enjoy helping others and want the opportunity to grow within an established martial arts academy.

Whether you’re already part of the Tan’Gun family or an experienced martial artist looking for your next challenge, we’d love to hear from you.

A good kick is not just about what happens in the air.

What happens before it and where you land afterwards matters just as much.

In this exercise, our students are learning to combine their kicks with purposeful footwork: bounce without drifting, deliver the kick and use the kick itself to travel forwards.

That small correction makes an enormous difference.

It improves balance, distance control and the ability to move with intention rather than simply rushing towards an opponent.

This is how strong technique is developed: careful instruction, focused repetition and the confidence to keep improving.

And, as always, we recognise the courage it takes to demonstrate in front of the whole class. Well done! 👏🥋

You have talked about getting fitter.

You have promised yourself you will start soon.

You have waited for more time, more energy and more motivation.

Enough waiting.

It is time to step onto the mats and start earning the stronger, fitter, more confident version of yourself.

Our adults do not train because it is easy.

They train because hard work changes you.

Every round tests your fitness.
Every technique sharpens your focus.
Every session builds strength, discipline and confidence.

You do not need to get fit before you begin.

You begin—and training gets you fit.

Come tired. Come nervous. Come out of shape.

Just come ready to work.

The time is now.

Get yourself into shape.

Children carry more than books into a new school year.

They may carry worries about fitting in, speaking up, getting something wrong or facing challenges without a parent beside them.

Confidence cannot simply be handed to a child with the words, “Believe in yourself.”

They need opportunities to earn it.

Every time they step onto the mats, attempt something unfamiliar and discover that a mistake is not the end, they build evidence that says:

“I can handle this.”

That is the confidence they carry into school, friendships and the rest of their lives.

If you would like your child to begin September with something positive to work toward, message START.

SEPTEMBER STARTS HERE.

A new school year brings new classrooms, new expectations and new challenges.

It can also be the moment a child begins discovering what they are truly capable of.

In our classes, children don’t simply learn how to kick. They learn to keep trying when something feels difficult, listen when distractions are everywhere and carry themselves with growing confidence.

From a Tiger taking their first brave step onto the mats to a black belt preparing to lead others, every journey begins somewhere.

Let September be their beginning.

Message us with the word START to arrange your child’s Tan’Gun try-out.

🥋 Tired? Yes. Finished? Not yet! 🥇

You can see it on their faces… These little Dragons have worked hard! 😴🔥

But even when the energy is running low, they’re still listening, still practising and still pushing themselves to earn those all-important medals.

That’s what martial arts teaches at this age: keep going, even when you’re tired.

Every sticker earned. Every medal achieved. Every little bit of effort counts. 🐉🏅

Well done, Dragons, you earned these! 👏

These teenagers are bouncing forwards, bouncing back and switching stance.

Forward once. Back once. Forward twice. Then, instead of planting the foot, they lift it straight into a turning kick or side kick.

Although the kick is what people notice, the footwork creates it. This is where they learn to stay balanced, move without hesitation and remain ready for whatever comes next.

It’s a small adjustment, but it makes the technique quicker, cleaner and harder to predict.

Book a TRY-OUT at our Welling Academy or Leigh Stationers Academy in Eltham.
