about taekwondo

Taekwondo is a popular martial art across the world with over 60 million active students and is a Olympic sport.

Our aim at Roar is to provide quality teaching within a fun, friendly and safe environment. It has evolved from several ancient martial arts and translates to 'the way of the foot and fist'. Taekwondo is an exciting mixture of set patterns, kicking, punching, self defence and sparring. It is a complete martial art with a fast paced sport element.

Taekwondo teaches more than physical fighting skills, it enhances spirit and life and brings many rewards including:

  • Improved health, fitness and flexibility
  • Increased self confidence
  • Improved balance and coordination
  • Self defence skills
  • Self discipline and control

Hannah Hare

PARENT

My daughter who is now 8 has been at Roar Taekwondo for 15 month and has completed 5 gradings achieving 5 new belts! Her words “it is fun, it teachs you how to defend yourself, I enjoy learning the different kicks and new patterns and my instructor is funny”. Taekwondo is a fun way for your child to exercise and learn new skills and is great value for money! Taekwondo is not just for boys, girls can’t do it too!!!

My 3 kids are with Roar taekwondo and they all love it. They always wanted to go and even felt sad if its not they're session yet. They said Master Sammy is very funny and could be strict sometimes if needed. My eldest started 2 years ago and his now in red tag. Master is very dedicated and has been helping the kids in every way he can to achieve what they deserve.
