About Us

Self Defence

Martial arts are primary associated with self defence. Not everyone wants the traditional trappings associated with this, but everyone wants or in fact NEEDS to know how to protect themselves and their loved ones. North West TaeKwonDo runs courses designed with the average person in mind, you don’t have to be super fit as our courses have been tailored for you. North West TaeKwonDo offers both personal and corporate courses, and private tuition in Self defence.

Our courses are specifically designed to account for ‘non-martial artists’, people that either haven’t the time or inclination to visit and train at a standard martial arts school.

The courses are organised with both lecture-based and practical components designed to cover both the theory and practical applications behind self protection. This reduces the probability that you will become a victim of a violent crime and gives useful training on a practical level for dealing with such issues.

Course participants should be of good health; with those with any medical concerns consulting a doctor before hand. The courses are designed not to be physically intensive-but should you find it hard just take a break!
