Family class 6+

At Ascend Taekwondo, we believe martial arts is even more powerful when families train side by side. Our Family Classes are designed to bring parents and children together in a fun, supportive, and motivating environment where everyone can learn at their own pace. Whether you’re completely new to martial arts or returning after a break, you’ll find a welcoming space where your whole family can thrive.

Training together helps families build stronger bonds, stay active, and share meaningful experiences that last a lifetime. You’ll work on fitness, confidence, coordination, and practical self‑defence skills — all while supporting each other through every belt, milestone, and achievement. Many of our families say it’s the highlight of their week, giving them quality time together away from screens, stress, and busy schedules.

Our Family Classes are open to all ages and abilities, making them perfect for parents with children aged 7+, siblings training together, or adults who want a more relaxed, community‑focused session. Every class is structured to be inclusive, engaging, and adaptable, so beginners feel comfortable and experienced students stay challenged.

One of the most rewarding parts of our Family Classes is watching families progress through the belts together. From earning your first stripes to celebrating black belt success, these shared achievements create unforgettable memories and a sense of pride that brings families even closer.

If you have younger children, our Tigers programme (ages 3–7) is the perfect starting point — and older children can join our Cadets classes (ages 7+), which run alongside many of our adult sessions. This means your children can train while you train, making Taekwondo a convenient and enjoyable activity for busy families.
