The Instructors
Phil Burgess-Walker and Peter White have been training in Tae Kwon Do for about 7 years and passed their instructor certification in 2003.
They are both registered with the Criminal Records Bureau and have undertaken the advanced CRB check, so you can have confidence in them.
They are both experienced in Tae Kwon Do as well as in the wider sport related industry so can give good advice on all subjects.

Why Join?
We have students of all age ranges, from 5 through to 50, and all abilities. You won't be expected to push yourself beyond your limits and most students find that their general fitness and flexibility is improved rapidly.

Although Tae Kwon Do is a martial art, there is an excellent atmosphere, with many families who train together, we are certainly not a male-oriented bunch of thugs, we teach children courtesy, respect and self-confidence.

In fact, the five tenets of Tae Kwon Do are:

Disabled students are very welcome, training will be tailored to suit them. The TAGB currently has quite a number of disabled students, we have certainly both trained with and been trained by disabled people.

There are many reasons why people want to start Tae Kwon Do, some want to gain fitness, some want to learn to fight and gain self-confidence. Others want to meet people and get off the sofa and do something interesting. Whatever reasons you have, there will be someone else like you, and the next thing you know you'll have your very own black belt and your own Tae Kwon Do school!
