read moreTae Kwon-Do is a version of an ancient form of unarmed combat practised for many centuries in the Orient, perfected in its present form in Korea. To the Korean people Tae Kwon-Do is more than a mere use of skilled movements. It also implies a way of thinking and life, particularly in instilling a concept and spirit of strict self-imposed discipline and an ideal of noble moral re-armament.

However, we are happy for people to come and train and choose to do so for health, fitness, self defense or whatever they wish to improve. Furthermore, if you want more from your training, you will also have the opportunity to attend local, national and international competitions throughout the year, in patterns, sparring and team events. All colour belt gradings are taken by Grandmaster David Oliver 9th Dan (The chairman of the TAGB) where you will perform the set TAGB syllabus, so you are guarenteed quality and a worthwhile achievement right from the start.

Melissa picked up a silver in tag team and Kaan a bronze in the same event. In February, many students got ready to compete in the English Championships in March, and for the first time Lewes had 4 tigers enter this national competition! However, March came, and as you all know, so did lockdown. The tournament was cancelled and as were all lessons! We took it in our stride and set up sessions over Zoom during the whole of March, April and May and some of June.
