Taekwondo4All is inviting the sports community of Leicester to join in on their taekwondo and self-defence classes. Organised by Claire, the well-established club is dedicated to promoting taekwondo to people of all ages and abilities, under the banner of “The art of hand and foot.”
Taekwondo, known for its powerful kicks and self-defence techniques, has been around for over 60 years since its origins in Korea. Claire notes that taekwondo offers numerous benefits, from improving fitness, strength, balance, and flexibility to boosting self-confidence and focus.
Claire firmly believes that taekwondo is for everyone, no matter their age or skill level. Taekwondo4All offers a range of classes to suit all, including sessions for children, new mums, and women-only, as well as one-on-one coaching. The club ensures a friendly and inclusive atmosphere where everyone can reap the benefits of taekwondo.
In addition to regular taekwondo classes, Taekwondo4All also provides real-life self-defence sessions led by a female instructor with a trauma-informed approach. These can be conducted as group workshops or individual sessions tailored to student needs.
Group taekwondo classes are held at St Anne's Community Hall on Letchworth Road. For juniors and cadets (4-11 years old), classes focus on foundational skills and spatial awareness. The cadets' class includes techniques, pad work, and follows the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) syllabus.
Women aged 10 and above can join the women's class, which covers beginner to green belt syllabus. There's an hour-long session open to all levels, featuring taekwondo exercises, movement, pad work, and techniques. Advanced students can take part in a specialised class for blue belts and above.
For personalised instruction, Taekwondo4All provides one-on-one classes at their home studio in Leicester. These sessions are available in 30-minute, 45-minute, or 60-minute blocks and tailored to individual needs, whether you're new to taekwondo or looking to advance your skills.
New mums can join the MartialArts4Mums class, which combines Pilates-style exercises with pad work in a relaxed environment, allowing them to stay active without needing extra childcare.
Class costs vary: Junior and cadet classes range from £3 to £4, women's classes are £20 per month or £7 pay as you go, and one-on-one classes are priced at £13 (30 minutes), £19.50 (45 minutes), or £26 (60 minutes). The MartialArts4Mums class is £5 per session with pay as you go options.
Claire invites everyone interested in taekwondo to attend a class in Leicester and experience the benefits firsthand. At Taekwondo4All, taekwondo truly is for everyone, offering a supportive environment for personal growth in martial arts. 💪👊
