Welcome to the Croydon School of Tae kwon-Do

Mr Joannou started Taekwon-Do in February 1992, having carefully looked at a range of martial arts, and chancing upon TKD after meeting an ex-school friend who was a black belt studying with the BUTF. Watching his first TKD class, he was impressed with the quality of the teaching and the explanations given for each movement. It was also evident to him that there was a clear progression between the various grades, and that student’s performance and techniques improved with their rank (belt colour.) 

After joining and under Master Sangha´s tuition, he progressed steadily through all the colour belt grading’s without any setbacks, even though on occasion, he felt unsure that he was ready. His Instructor encouraged him to persevere and where necessary to attend additional classes at his other schools, to ensure that he was indeed ready to perform at his personal best. 

Each occasion that he passed onto a senior grade, he found a deeper level of dedication and motivation. Even though feeling that he was being pushed to his limit, he still somehow, was able to find a higher 'gear' to shift into. Contact us here for more info.
