INFORMATION: Benefits - juniors - adults

Adults start at any age.  Some adults within the association who started at age 65 have still earned their black belt.  As a student you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone else.  Our instructors will be there every step of your way.  All that is expected is a willingness to try.

The adult and taekwondo:

Exercise And Improve Well-Being
Taekwondo strengthens your body and improves your health through physical exercise and conditioning.  Isometric and dynamic tension exercises will allow you to gain better muscle tone and more strength.  A gradual building process of safe and easy stretching techniques will enhance flexibility, while breathing and concentration exercises lead to sharper reflexes and senses.

The discipline of taekwondo leads to increase energy, better health and fitness, greater coordination, and higher self-esteem.  These qualities are vital to a happier and longer life.

Self-Defence
The South Bank Taekwondo training program helps you recognise and handle situations in which self-defence may be required.  You learn the techniques you need to defend yourself intelligently in threatening situations.  What you learn could prevent you from becoming a victim.  Learn to defend yourself through rigorous, comprehensive training.  Develop your endurance, strength, flexibility and balance along with your self-defence techniques.

Learn to defend yourself, not only physically, but mentally as well.  Learn to unite your body in a single effort to achieve your goals.  Develop an inner calm.  Bring up deep-rooted, long hidden fears and weaknesses, face them and conquer them.  Bring out anger and frustration in a positive environment where you can learn to deal with them effectively.  Rise above laziness and inner doubt.

Take Charge Of Your Life
Bring out the positive qualities that have always been part of you.  Develop patience, confidence, self-discipline, inner calm and a consistently positive mental attitude.  Overcome fear, self-doubt, anger, jealousy, laziness and bad habits.  You can do it.  Our program of exercise and instruction is ideal for self-development, because it exercises all of you.  Visualise your goals as you practice effective self-defence techniques.  This unique combination of physical and mental training creates breakthroughs in personal transformation.
