What our students say

If you fancy doing something completely different, get fit and meet new friends - this is a great way to do it! For me personally, it was a good way to take myself out of my comfort zone and try something new. I joined 7 months ago and have loved every session. The Instructors has amazing, positive and patient!

Had my first class tonight, wasn’t sure how I would feel coming from kickboxing bit of a change. I will definitely be going back I was made to feel welcome, amazing atmosphere, supportive and encouraging. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a challenge and have fun along the way. Thank you

Chard taekwondo is a great club for all ages and abilities. A welcoming environment, with supportive and friendly people. Both my son and myself attend regularly and have done for a few years now. There are various classes through the week, that are well structured and cater for all. All made clear and simple with the booking app. Which is great for when work and life get in the way, so i can book off a class and jump to another when needed...
