A word from our Instructor
"Leah and her mum Jenny were the first students to join us in our Wednesday Beginner classes! We're really impressed with how Leah approaches her training - she's got a great attitude and always tries her best no matter what the task is. Leah has had her challenges in Taekwon-Do but keeps on persevering and improves each and every class. She's a great example for the other students."
