Martial Arts Classes for the whole family!
Fortitude Martial Arts Academy offers a variety of Taekwon-Do classes in Kent, Sussex, and Surrey. Operating a satellite location in Oldham, Lancashire.
Our Instructors expertly teach fun and friendly Taekwon-Do classes, where students can begin training from 3 years old.
We take great pride in the vast age range of our students training. It especially, goes without saying that we enjoy our fun interactive classes with our younger students. These classes are energetic; a symbiosis of entertainment and education.
At the core of all our classes are the tenets of Taekwon-Do.
COURTESY – INTEGRITY – PERSEVERANCE – SELF CONTROL – INDOMITABLE SPIRIT
Our teens and adults classes are also energetic, but we focus on in depth knowledge-based classes. Remarkably, some of our students are in their 60s, training for over 20 years with us, and still benefitting from not only the physical training, but the moral culture we instil.
Above all, we are dedicated to our students, and care passionately about our student’s progression, providing highly motivating and enjoyable classes.
We follow the ITF Taekwon-Do syllabus, acknowledging the teachings of Grand Masters and Masters who trained with our ITF Taekwon-Do Founder – Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi 9th Dan.

Taekwon-Do is an art of self-defence founded by a Korean General named Choi Hong Hi (Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi 9th Degree 1918-2002). Officially, Taekwon-Do was recognised on 11th April 1955, after exhaustive researching, developing, and experimenting. General Choi proclaimed Taekwon-Do to the world as a completely valid and unique martial art.
Taekwon-Do translated literally means:
‘Tae’ stands for kicking, jumping, flying, or smashing with the foot.
‘Kwon’ denotes the fist – chiefly to punch or destroy with the hand or fist.
‘Do’ means the art or the way – the right way built by Saints and Sages of the past.
