Learn self defence through the traditional ART of Tae Kwon Do. Different to a competitive sport, this non-competitive martial art teaches each individual to achieve THEIR best without fear of losing along the way. Ideal for teens and adults of all age. An activity for the whole family. Visitors are very welcome.
Learn self-discipline, self-confidence, integrity, perseverance, courtesy and respect.
Combining the skilled application of powerful kicks and punches, blocks, dodges and interceptions, with the philosophy and traditional teachings of Rhee Tae Kwon Do, the practitioner attains physical and mental strength to apply in their day-to-day life. The discipline, mental training and various techniques of Rhee Tae Kwon Do also provide the grounds for engendering in the practitioner a strong sense of justice, fortitude, compassion, humility and resolve.
Not everyone likes team sports, especially self-conscious teens, and there are very few activities where parents can get active with their kids. Rhee Tae Kwon-Do is family friendly with all ages training together, at the same time. So parents don't need to be relegated to just being a taxi driver to their kids sporting activities. Join in and have fun with the whole family whilst also improving everyone's health and fitness.
I train at Upwey Rhee TKD side by side with my 9 yo son. There's not a lot of sports where you can do this which is one of the things we both love about it - however it doesn't stop there. The people we train with are great, the instructors are great all combined with some excellent messaging about self control and respect. We're only just getting established in our training routine, however I already notice some great physical and mental benefits. One of the aims of the training is to get your brain and body working in sync with each other - it amazes me how much of a challenge this actually is - but I think I'm getting there. In conclusion, I can't recommend it highly enough and hopefully my son and I will both be training there for many years to come.

It is always pleasing to know that students are "getting it" and seeing the benefits, both for them as individuals but also as a family.
Amazing instructor and students at Upwey Taekwondo who make you feel right at home and are very welcoming and accommodating whether you are new to the arts or a returning student after a long break.

A welcoming, family friendly atmosphere is one of our main goals. With a good environment students will learn more and more quickly. Thanks for the review.
Tae kwon Do helps people to develop flexibility, strength and coordination in a fun, low-pressure way. Upwey Tae Kwon Do teachers are knowledgeable and patient. Well-worth the experience for kids and adults alike.
Answer from Upwey Tae Kwon Do and Self Defence on 19-05-2016:
Besides the physical benefits of exercise, by training together often as a family, both children and adults learn that respect is a two-way street. This reinforces respect all round and boosts self confidence as the usual power hierarchy between adults and children is not relevant in our martial art.
This has been the best activity my son has ever been involved with. Excellent mentoring and teaching . My son developed great confidence in himself as well as learning new skills.
Answer from Upwey Tae Kwon Do and Self Defence on 19-05-2016:
Self confidence in children, especially teenagers, will help them to resist negative peer pressure and thus make them safer. Regular training in a safe non-competitive environment will boost their confidence as they learn.
This is compared to a competitive environment which disadvantages those who cannot keep up with others, often resulting in a lowering of self confidence.
There are many ways in which we try to balance our busy lives, and keeping a balance between our physical, mental and spiritual selves is an important start to maintaining overall balance in life. This quick tip will help your kid to find more balance in their life.
Teaching our children (and ourselves) to recognise what is “normal” in our homes, schools, and local community can make it a lot easier to spot incongruities that may signal a potential danger or dangerous situation. This article outlines some potential danger signs that your child could be more aware of.
When confronted by someone or an unusual event we are often surprised by our body's reaction, often interpreted as 'Fear'. At a physiological level our body is dumped with adrenalin which makes our muscles ready to fight or flee from any perceived attack or stressful situation, that is our 'fight' or 'flight' instinct. These two primordial responses are most obvious in children who will run away or lash out when stressed.
Self Defence is much less about one's ability to fight and more about knowledge of one's self and environment. We are born with a natural instinct for survival and self preservation but in our modern 'civilised' society much of this instinct has been conditioned out of us, particularly in women. This article
