This is an excellent club. My daughter’s been going for four years and she loves it. I could go on about how Taekwondo helps with coordination, posture, flexibility, discipline and agility etc. But the main thing, for us anyway, is how the club has supported her self-confidence. Stuart and team worked hard for 3 month just to get her to join in! They never gave up on her, they were both supportive and encouraging. Now, it’s a highlight of her week, she loves it, she’s made excellent progress and has made many new friends. This is a seriously good club.
Outstanding club and Stewart is a phenomenal coach. I started out with my son around 2 years ago and we love being a part of it. The encouragement to push yourself has helped me grow as a person massively. The classes are challenging (in a good way) with a friendly approach that makes you feel welcome.
Both my boys love going to Total Taekwondo. They have progressed so well during the past year. Not only have they learnt new skills but also discipline and grown in confidence which has helped them tremendously in their school. Every session is amazing and filled with activities and skills. All the coaches are exceptional and teach with 100% dedication.

Our lineage
Rooted in Chung Do Kwan
Chung Do Kwan was one of the original nine Kwans that formed modern taekwondo. Our instructors trace their teaching back through that line, and we still teach with its focus on respect, precision and hard work.

Parents ask
Questions
Can't see your question? Email info@totaltaekwondo.co.uk and we'll get back to you.
Is the first class really free?
Yes. Book a free trial, come along, and only sign up if you and your child love it.
What should we wear to the first class?
Comfortable sportswear and a water bottle. Training is barefoot. You'll get a uniform (dobok) when you join.
My child is shy. Will they be OK?
Lots of our students started shy. Classes are grouped by age so everyone trains with children their size, and confidence is one of the first things parents notice changing.
Do I need to be fit or have experience?
No. Every class has beginners in it. You'll work at your own pace from day one.
How do gradings work?
Students grade for their next belt every few months once they've attended enough classes and learned their syllabus.
Can I pause or cancel my membership?
Memberships can't be paused. You can cancel at any time by giving one calendar month's notice from your My Total account.
