**A Note from Sean to the Sports Community**
Sean, the lead organiser at SDMA Dorset, wants to give everyone a friendly nudge to check out what's happening at their martial arts school in Sturminster Newton. With a range of Taekwon-Do and fitness classes, there's something for everyone across Dorset.
Taekwon-Do is the cornerstone at SDMA Dorset, where Sean believes in the scientific approach to self-defence. Alongside the main martial art, you'll find fitness training, dodgeball, and even weapons training including Bo staff and Nunchaku. The classes are a great way to get fit, learn new skills, and have a good laugh with mates.
Getting involved comes with a heap of benefits. Sean sees students boosting their confidence, finding new friends, and even discovering a newfound sense of discipline. It’s not just an activity but a chance for the whole family to join in and have some fun together.
Whether you fancy competing or just want to enjoy learning new moves, there’s something for every level. Students can take part in friendly or serious competitions, showcase their skills at demonstrations, and learn from the black belts about courtesy and etiquette.
Classes are spread out across various locations to suit everyone's schedule. Mondays and Thursdays get busy at Gillingham Youth Centre and Sturminster Newton Sturfit LC. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, you can join in at Stalbridge Village Hall and Shaftesbury Lindlar Hall. Fontmell Magna Village Hall hosts classes on Fridays, with sparring training at Stur ABC on alternate Fridays. And if that doesn't fit, Sean also offers one-on-one sessions catered to personal needs, either at home or in a local hall.
SDMA Dorset prides itself on keeping things affordable, with competitive prices and family discounts. Sean and the team welcome people of all ages and experience levels to come and have a go. They’re so confident you’ll enjoy it that the first two lessons are free.
If you're curious and want more info or fancy booking a class, just head to the SDMA Dorset website or give Sean and the team a ring or drop them an email. The dedicated instructors and welcoming community make SDMA Dorset a top spot for martial arts in Sturminster Newton and across Dorset.
