INTRODUCING OUR UNIQUE GENTLE
MARTIAL ART CLASS

​Martial Arts Over 40.....

The health benefits, both physical and mental, of martial arts in our middle age and beyond are truly amazing. Granted, your body may take longer to recover and you may not be as fast or flexible as the younger students but these points are massively outweighed by the benefits of training as we age.

The wisdom of going at your own pace and to discover yourself from the inside out is what is most appealing to most older students. Also the physical and mental challenges that each lesson shows and teaches us.

A lot of people consider being middle aged "too old" to start martial arts with many parents sitting and watching their children train. However, with age comes wisdom and the knowledge that starting taekwondo could be the single best thing you've ever done to make a positive change in your life.

The responsibility we all have to take care of our body and our mind and continually challenge and push ourselves to be the best we can be, despite our age. Martial arts teaches us this and with this attitude we stay young and fresh

​​

This class is purely designed for adults and older people who simply want to give martial arts a try and learn about our breathing techniques, health benefits, self defence and meditation whilst getting a light sweat on and working those muscles.

​​

Every single person who joins this class apologies in advance for being too unfit, too unflexible, too overweight, too uncoordinated! I simply say give yourself a few months to notice the difference in yourself and don't apologise for starting martial arts. You are going to surprise yourself with the change you see. There are no fitness requirements at all to start. Simply turning up is the hardest part.

​​

I guarantee it will change your life and once you are here you will love it. If you've been thinking of starting martial arts there is not a better time. Get in touch with us for a chat and to see how we can help you. I promise we can. I have never met one adult who has ever regretted starting martial arts, they only ever regret stopping.

​​

We train every Friday morning at The Hub in Barnard Castle, 9.30am - 10.30am. We'd love to see you there.
