Why families in Leominster choose Tae Kwon Do
Tae Kwon Do is a Korean martial art known for its fast, powerful kicks. Training builds far more than technique: confidence, focus, fitness and good manners all grow alongside each new belt.
Confidence for children
Clear goals, regular gradings and lots of praise help children stand taller, listen better and keep trying when things get hard.
Fitness and self-defence for adults
A full-body workout that improves strength, flexibility and stamina, with practical self-defence skills you can rely on.
A recognised syllabus
As a TAGB club, every grade you earn from white belt to black belt is recognised by the association nationwide.
A friendly club
All of our classes are mixed ability, so beginners train alongside senior grades, and parents can join in with their children.
Class times
All classes are held at Leominster Leisure Centre, Coningsby Road, Leominster HR6 8LL.
New students are welcome at any class. Just let us know you are coming so we can say hello.

Once you join, you will learn the white belt syllabus and can take your first grading when your instructor says you are ready.
Meet your instructors
Paul Hickey (2nd Dan) and Danielle Hickey (3rd Dan) have taught Tae Kwon Do in Leominster for more than 15 years. Our club is part of the Tae Kwon Do Association of Great Britain, and our students grade under Grand Master Don Atkins and compete at English, Welsh and international TAGB championships.
Some students come to get fitter or make friends; others set their sights on black belt and championship medals. Whatever your goal, we will help you get there.

Your questions answered
What age can my child start Tae Kwon Do?
We teach children from the age of 4 upwards, alongside teenagers and adults. Younger students learn the same techniques at their own pace, with plenty of games and encouragement to keep them focused.
Do I need to be fit or flexible to start?
No. Most people start with little or no fitness and build it up in class. Flexibility, stamina and strength come with regular training, and instructors adapt drills for every age and ability.
How much does it cost?
Your first four weeks are free. After that, class fees start from £22 a month, depending on how many days a week you train and whether other family members train too. There is also an annual TAGB licence, which includes your insurance. Get in touch for a price that fits your family.
What should I wear to my first class?
Comfortable sportswear such as a T-shirt and joggers or leggings. We train barefoot, so no trainers are needed. Bring a bottle of water. You can buy a dobok (Tae Kwon Do uniform) once you decide to join.
Where are classes held?
All of our classes take place at Leominster Leisure Centre, Coningsby Road, Leominster HR6 8LL, on Thursday evenings from 6pm to 7pm and Saturday mornings from 10am to 11:30am.
