Taekwondo, with its roots in Korea, offers a unique blend of striking, blocking, evasive, and manipulative techniques. The movements in Taekwondo are characterised by their circular and flowing nature, yet executed with precision and power. This balance of power and aesthetics sets Taekwondo apart as a martial art and creates a dynamic and engaging training experience.
At PACE Taekwondo, individuals of all backgrounds and abilities are welcome to explore the world of Taekwondo. Whether one aims to improve physical fitness, gain self-defence skills, or cultivate mental discipline, PACE Taekwondo is committed to helping each student achieve their goals in a supportive and inclusive environment.
