Beginners
The next beginners class starts Monday 16th August! Register now!
We have a specially designed beginners class which runs regularly throughout the year. These short-course classes are designed for people who want to give Taekwon-Do a go, and would like to get a bit of a feel for it before they jump right in. It is also an ideal way for a family or a group of friends to get an introduction to Taekwon-Do together.
What can I expect?
Our beginners class is designed to teach you the basic techniques of Taekwon-Do, including basic blocking, striking and kicking. You will also be introduced to the tenets and philosophy of Taekwon-Do, and you will learn some basic self defence techniques which will surprise you with their simplicity!
You will be taught by an experienced black belt instructor with a passion for helping others achieve in Taekwon-Do. We all started where you are - at the beginning - so we understand what it is like to walk into the class for the first time.
With our beginners-only classes, you know you will be amongst friends, and with an instructor who has been there too.
These classes are deliberately limited in size, to ensure that you get the best quality instruction possible.
Testimonial
"Having no martial arts experience, I found the beginners sessions very informative and pitched just right to bring complete novices 'into the fold' with no pressure to take it any further than you wanted. The basic techniques and tenets we learnt were useful and the instructors were very good at working with beginners."
What will it cost?
Our beginners class costs $20 for four 1 hour sessions. If two or more from the same family wish to attend then it is $30 for the whole family.
After you have completed these sessions, you will be able to join any of the Spirit Taekwon-Do schools. If you do join then the cost of the beginners class is deducted from the joining fee.
Where/When is the next class?
The next beginners class begins on August 16th and is being held on Mondays and Thursdays over 2 weeks. (Monday/Thursday 16th, 19th, 23rd, 26th July).
Time: 6pm-7pm.
Venue: Vogelmorn Hall, Vennell St, Mornington (map).
After that, classes will be starting approximately once every six weeks throughout the year.
Do I have to start in a beginners class?
No. If you want to just jump straight on in then you can contact one of our instructors directly. You can find details on the Schools page.
