BEGINNERS ARE WELCOME

You do not need to be fit, flexible or experienced before you start. Taekwon-Do training develops those qualities gradually. Children can build coordination and confidence, while adults can train for fitness, self-defence, a new challenge or simply something enjoyable to do each week.

Do I need experience?

No. Complete beginners are welcome and will be shown the fundamentals from the start.

Can adults start Taekwon-Do?

Yes. Adults can begin at any level of fitness and progress at their own pace.

Is there a class for younger children?

Yes. Danderhall has Ninja Kickers for ages 3–7, and Gullane welcomes students from age 5.

Can we try before joining?

Yes. Use the free-trial enquiry on the main Elite Scotland website and tell us which local class you would like to visit.
