Taekwon!
A brief introduction to what we do
Taekwon-Do is a martial art, and so we think the best introduction would be to a demonstration of really good Taekwon-Do.
Here is Oliver Williams (2nd) degree, performing pattern Choong-Moo Tul, our bleck belt pattern.
Why train with EIAT?

A sense of achievement: Learning new techniques and climbing belts is something to be proud of.
For relaxation: The meditative effect of concentrating on your movements is well-deocumented, and can bring you peace.
It's fun: Classes and training are enjoyable, you don't need a reason to have a good time.
Getting Started
To get started, all you need is a good attitude.
For your first few lessons, wear loose fitting clothes which give you plenty of mobility, T-Shirt and jogging-bottoms will be fine.
You will only need to buy one of the suits (called a dobok), protective pads and a staff if you decide to stay. We ask you buy a white dobok. black-belts may wear a black dobok or a dobok with black trim.
Our training hall (called a dojang) has toilets for those wishing to change upon arrival.
