I have been with Fortitude for over 10 years now and I have loved every minute of it. The lessons are always amazing and we have learnt so much. Working together in lessons has helped us all grow and I have made some amazing and life long friends in Tae kwon do.

Thank you for such a lovely review. It’s been fantastic to see your journey over the years – from starting as a young beginner to now working hard towards your black belt. Training alongside your dad makes your story a real family effort, and you always bring such character and energy to the class. We’re really proud of the progress you’ve both made and look forward to seeing you reach that next milestone in Taekwon-Do.- Mrs A.M.

Thank you so much for such a fantastic review! Having you with us since Fortitude Taekwondo Tunbridge Wells opened has meant a lot — your dedication over the past 9 years, earning your 2nd Dan, and training alongside your daughter really adds to the strong sense of community we’re so proud of. Here’s to many more years of training and growth together!– Mrs A.M.

Such a great Taekwondo club. Got hooked when we saw a demo at Eridge Fair, went along for the free sessions and was breaking boards and doing kicks right away. Classes are age based, but mixed ability so there's always something to see and learn just from the others there. Teachers are lovely (I mean really lovely) and the extra events they run are always really really well run an reasonably priced.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s been wonderful having your daughter training with us at Fortitude Taekwondo Southborough for the past three years — she always brings such a big smile to every class. It’s been amazing to see her confidence grow alongside her Taekwondo skills, and we’re so proud of everything she’s achieved!– Mrs A.M.

what OUR MEMBERS say

My daughter started her Fortitude Taekwondo journey a couple of months before her 4th birthday and she is now 8 years old. Mrs. Andrews has been amazing! Her patience with youngsters who are easily distracted and coaching them through to where they are able to focus, work to achieve and gain confidence. Since this pandemic hit I have been so thankful that she is part of the Fortitude family as her lessons have continued throughout lockdown to date. This has given her a sense of normality in unprecedented times.
