Welcome to the Studio

Based on the traditional art of Tae-Kwon-Do

Welcome to the Personal Defence Studio – Taren Point. We specialise in hard, committed training in pursuit of perfection of the Coveted Blackbelt and Senior Blackbelt ranks. Based on the traditional art of Tae-Kwon-Do we have a strong emphasis on kicking skills combined with boxing, grappling and take-down skills to make this a very strong, effective and formidable martial art system.

Testimonials

Training has been life-changing. I thought I was going to get fitter, and have accountability, and it is that, but it’s also so much more. I am challenged every day, I am encouraged every day, I am pushed, I am praised, I am not afraid to try, and fail, and try again. This is a place for growth, and learning about yourself and pushing the limits. I thought it was learning taekwondo, instead I joined a family who takes care of me, teachers me, celebrates with me and makes me better.

The confidence I’ve gained from learning these new skills is invaluable. To be taught in a safe and comfortable environment was a bonus and also we shared a few laughs along the way! This is a must for all females to feel empowered strong and confident.

The knowledge that I can rely on me, to defend me and my children, is empowering. It also comes as a huge comfort to my husband knowing that when he isn’t there, I have learned skills to give me every chance to walk away should I ever be placed in a potentially violent situation. Self defence for all, but especially women and children should be compulsory learning. To be taught these skills in a safe nurturing and encouraging environment, is invaluable.

I have found over the years of my training that our knowledge of some solid skills in how to defend myself, and the space to have practised them in ‘reality strong’ grips and holds, has allowed me to walk around and carry myself with confidence and demeanour which says “er ... perhaps think twice before picking me” to anyone with such an intention. It removes a victim mentality and replaces it with a “don’t you dare” air about me this maybe all one needs to ward off any random attacks in the first place when out and about.

The self defence skills that we have learnt both at the WSDcourse and training within the dojo with sensei Jim has gifted me a range of emotional, physical and mental benefits, Knowing I have the skills and ability to protect myself has boosted my self esteem and confidence, it has given me a greater sense of control over my safety and well-being and this has positively impacted my mental health.

The benefits of training in the martial arts are many from improved focus and discipline to building confidence as your fitness and a very capable ability to defend yourself improves. Most students who train with us make a lifestyle choice which becomes a long term commitment. The reason why students continue to train can be very different from the reasons that got them started.

We train hard with a disciplined and committed attitude. You are offered encouragement and constantly receive instruction from all Senior Blackbelts. Our philosophy is simple – train hard and be the best you can be. Seek to improve every area of your self doubt and become the warrior in spirit you truly are, the person you want to be.

If this is for you and you are looking for something different, please contact us. You will be made very welcome – remember, all current students started with a ‘phone call or email which led to their first lesson and a life changing experience, second to none.
