⭐Adult Taekwondo isn't just about kicking and punching

Taekwondo is a complete martial art that works your body and your mind.

At Ascend Taekwondo, our adult classes combine technique, fitness, strength, flexibility, coordination, pad work, movement, self-defence and traditional Taekwondo training.

But the benefits go far beyond what happens on the mats.

Taekwondo gives you a reason to keep coming back.

Every class is different, challenging and active. You'll work your cardiovascular fitness, strength, balance, coordination and flexibility while learning something new.

Instead of watching the clock on a treadmill, you're learning techniques, working with training partners, hitting pads and developing real martial arts skills.

You’ll learn:

• Real Taekwondo techniques

• Pad work and striking drills

• Patterns (poomsae)

• Self‑defence skills

• Controlled sparring drills

Taekwondo is ideal for adults who want to feel fitter, stronger, and more in control of their physical and mental health.
