Do I need any experience to join?
No experience whatsoever is needed. Everyone starts as a White Belt, regardless of age or background. Our instructors will guide you through every step from day one.
What age can children start?
We welcome students from age 4 upward. Our beginners classes are mixed age, so young children train alongside adults — including their parents — in a safe, supervised environment.
Can I watch before joining?
Absolutely. You are welcome to come along and watch a class before committing to anything. Better still — your first two weeks of training are completely free. Just turn up.
How much does it cost?
Your first two weeks are free. After that, membership fees apply. Please contact us at info@manxtkd.com or call +44 7834 336426 for current pricing details.
Can families train together?
Yes — this is one of the things we are most proud of. All our classes are mixed age. Parents and children can train side by side, progress through the belt system together, and support each other on the mat.
How often are gradings held?
Gradings are held periodically throughout the year when students are assessed by the instructor as ready. Stripe tests are conducted within class. You will never be entered for a grading before you are prepared.

Just turn up, give it a go, and see what Taekwon-Do can do for you.
