About Us
Welcome to Tae Kwon-Do West Sussex which is a member of the Tae Kwon-Do Association of Great Britain.
We are a martial arts school based in several locations in West Sussex, under the direction of full time professional main instructor World Master Karl James 7th dan, who has over 40 years of martial arts experience.
We provide practical and effective martial arts training in a warm, safe, and friendly atmosphere. Our male and female students are all ages and training is available from 4 years old upwards, and membership is open to all.
Our training follows the five tenets of Tae Kwon-Do:
禮儀 Courtesy
Respecting others, having manners as well as maintaining the appropriate etiquette at all times, both within and outside the dojang.
廉恥 Integrity
Determining what is right or wrong and having the conscience to feel guilt if one has done wrong and to stand up for what is right.
忍耐 Perseverance
Trying time and time again until achieving a result which is adequate towards what one was trying to achieve.
克己 Self-control
Having control over one’s acts, thoughts and actions.
百折不屈 Indomitable spirit
Having the courage to stand up for what you believe in, no matter what odds you are up against, and to always give 100% effort in whatever you do.
