The Core Curriculum is the foundation of our school for the Juniors and Seniors classes.

These classes teach everything that is on the curriculum for British Taekwondo Gradings and will be held every 4 months.

In these classes you will learn how to traditionally and correctly perform techniques. You will learn a pattern (Poomsae) based on your level to perform. You will learn effective self-defence moves, how to apply power to break through targets such as boards and of course Taekwondo Sport Sparring with upto date sparring rules.

The Little Tigers Curriculum is a specially designed class for Students age 4-6, using the Martial Arts to develop key skills.

Each week will focus on a new skill and students will be tested regularly and graded every 3 months and with each belt increasing in difficulty so that students are always pushing and developing.  

​

The benefits of this class include: Increased focus, better discipline, healthy body and mind as well as respect for the self and others.

LITTLE TIGERS

Sparring Class

At Taekwondo Academy Stockport we like to stay up to date on World Taekwondo rule-sets as seen in the Olympics. However, our sparring classes will explore a variety of rulesets from Old and New Taekwondo, and even trying out  Elements of Kickboxing and Point Sparring as well as MMA sparring to help our students be more well rounded Martial Artists.

​

This class is the perfect opportunity to put all your training through some pressure testing.

Each Week will focus on a new rule-set, run through the fundamentals then allow plenty of time for free sparring as the best way to learn is by doing it.

​

Benefits of this class include: Knowledge of different Martial Arts Sparring rule-sets, Practical and Sport application of techniques, increased Speed and Reactions, better cardio fitness and stamina as well as competition opportunities.

​

The Fitness Class is purely designed to work your fitness and flexibility using the Martial Arts.

The exercises practiced will push you in terms of strength, speed, stamina and more. 

This class is great for those who just want to use the Martial Arts to get fit, but also for serious Martial Artists as a supplementary class to increase their physicality.

Each week will focus on different areas of martial artist physicality such as Strength training, Cardio Work, Flexibility and Body Hardening

​

Benefits of this class include: Increased Flexibility, More Strength and Power, Better Fitness, Increased Speed and Stamina.

Fitness Class

COMPETITION TEAM

This class is for students who wish to push their physical and technical ability for competition purposes. 

This class focuses on both Sparring and Patterns on alternate weeks to help students perfect their technique and improve their physical capabilities.

​

We believe it is a students choice whether or not they compete so their is no obligation to do so. We take part in local inter-clubs as a starting point before offering greater competition opportunities.

​

We also take part in various British Taekwondo events at the National Taekwondo Center to provide further opportunities for such students.

Taekwondo has a strong competitive scene, partly in combat sports, but also in performance and demonstrations.

This class is be geared towards students who wish to compete in patterns and Poomsae Performances as well as Board Breaking Demonstrations within World Taekwondo.

​

Also in this class we will be pushing the limits of performance with advanced kicks like those seen in Capoiera and Tricking.

Weapons training, for both demonstration and stunt work will also be available to round out this classes curriculum and progression system.

​

This class really put the 'Art' in Martial Arts.

PERFORMANCE cLASS


Self-DEFENSE
CLASS

Self Defense is an important part of martial arts and is a key reason why so many people learn in.

While true that any combat sports teach techniques that can be used to defend yourself, not many arts will teach you key principles when it comes to real life Self-Defense. 

​

Taekwondo is unique as it has a Combat Sport side as well as a grading curriculum which incorporates Self Defense with a primary focus on grappling techniques.

​

The aim of this class is to provide a well rounded approach to Self Defense as Taekwondo does, but also to expand upon that further with us of techniques from other Martial Arts.

 

Benefits of this class include: Improved situational awareness, better decision making under pressure and reactive instincts.
