I started TKD because I was immature and little self control. TKD has made me more disciplined and has also improved my flexibility. I enjoy it very much and would encourage others to give it a go!

Andy Barratt, Father of Sam (7)
We enrolled Sam into TKD following his experience of doing it one lunch time at his school. We felt that it would improve his confidence and would be a fun and supportive environment. Sam has come on loads, overcoming nerves to take gradings and has lots of fun under Mr Shillabeer’s instruction.

I like helping out and setting up before the class and learning new moves. I really like getting a new belt and playing the games that we do!

We found about DS Taekwondo through friends whose daughter was already a member. Mr Shillabeer’s enthusiasm and reassurance when speaking to him on the phone when finding out more and the offer of a free trial lesson made the decision easy to bring our son along. The possibility to pay monthly is also good as Read More …
Zane Polin, age 7
I found out about the club from the banner outside the hall, and then looking at the website. Zane was at a different club before this one, but I didn’t feel that he was progressing, hence the reason for swapping to DS Taekwondo, where it’s 100% better. I wanted Zane to do Taekwondo to gain Read More …
