Tae Kwon Do

Tae Kwon Do is one of the most famous and popular martial arts in the world. Often mistaken as one of the more ancient Asian martial arts such as Karate, Tae Kwon Do is a far more recent art, officially being founded in 1955. However, it does follow a more traditional system which includes patterns, self-defence, line work and pad work, as well as sparring.

Originally created for use in the Korean military, it has since spread worldwide, becoming one of the most practiced martial arts in the world, as evidenced by its status as an Olympic sport. However, Tae Kwon Do goes far beyond its sporting merits, as it teaches discipline, perseverance and inner strength via its 5 tenets. This makes it a powerful tool for self-development, particularly in children but also in adults.

Tae Kwon Do is where it all began here at Russell Perks Martial Arts Academy. We have been teaching this art for over 2 decades and it remains a core element of our academy. We have classes for both children and adults, as well as mixed classes where families can train together.
