For many parents, the idea of their child learning martial arts can bring mixed feelings. While some see confidence, discipline, and fitness, others immediately wonder: “Is martial arts dangerous for children?” It’s a fair question — and one we hear regularly from parents looking for safe martial arts classes for kids.

If you’ve ever watched a Tang Soo Do class at one of our centres, or been an observer at Graduation, there’s one thing that probably caught your attention straight away: the kiyap or ‘loud shout’...

It’s nearly time for one of the biggest, loudest, proudest (and occasionally most chaotic) events in the Family Martial Arts Centres calendar…GRADUATION DAY – Sunday 18th October!

Have you ever been sat in the Do Jang watching your Instructor leading a class and thought “I’d love to be able to do that one day.”? Perhaps you are already enjoying helping other students either in a class, or even as one of our Assistant or Junior Instructors. Maybe you find you enjoy demonstrating techniques to newer members, encouraging someone who is struggling, or even helping in a lower ranked class, all the while imagining what it would be like to stand at the front

Many parents worry when their child seems shy, anxious, withdrawn, or lacking in confidence. Perhaps they struggle to make friends, avoid speaking in groups, lack belief in themselves, or spend too much time on screens instead of interacting socially. For many families, martial arts becomes far more than just an after-school activity — it becomes a powerful confidence-building journey

At some point in their martial arts journey, most children will say it. “I don’t want to go to training today” For parents, it can be frustrating, exhausting, and sometimes even upsetting — especially when you know how much martial arts benefits them.

Starting anything new can feel intimidating — especially martial arts. Many potential new students worry about: “Will I know what to do?” “What if I’m nervous?” “Do I need to be fit already?” “What should I wear?” “Will everyone else be more experienced than me?” The good news is that beginner martial arts classes are specifically designed for people with little or no experience.

On Saturday 22nd August, students from our Centres will come together at Dixons Newall Green Academy in Wythenshawe for one of the biggest moments in their Tang Soo Do journey.

Somehow, we’ve gone from “Happy New Year!” to “Where has the summer gone?” in the blink of an eye. And before we know it, hundreds of our students from across north Manchester will be walking into the Sports Hall at Bury Grammar School on Sunday 23rd August ready to do what they’ve been working towards for the last couple of months
