Taekwon-Do is a fantastic physical activity for children and young people of all ages. Taekwon-Do helps develop agility, balance, coordination and speed. It improves movement quality and promotes the long term athletic development of the child. Taekwon-Do classes help to promote discipline, focus and confidence.
Children learn to set a goal such as a grading or a tournament and they work towards this goal. Taekwon-Do clubs provide a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, an ideal setting for children to meet new people and make friends. Being part of a club can help keep the child motivated to continue training through their teens and into adulthood.
Inspiration Taekwondo is an Irish Taekwon-Do Association (ITA) member. The ITA has clubs throughout the country with qualified, experienced instructors. As part of an ITA club, your child will have access to our grading system, allowing them progress through the grades as their skills build and one day achieve the dream of Black Belt. The ITA also runs national level tournaments, these competitions are a great day out for the family and allows your child test their skills and feel a sense of accomplishment. The tournament circuit also provides a pathway for the future stars of the Irish Taekwon-Do team.
The Irish Taekwon-Do Association is part of the Irish Martial Arts Commission, the national governing body for martial arts in Ireland. This means that all instructors at ITA clubs must be Garda-vetted, first aid trained and hold the appropriate coach education certification.
