iseepenguins Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hi, Im interested myself! ive never really got into martial arts becuase i dont like violence. Im not some namby pamby pasefist, what i mean is i dont want to do combat, id rather train, do the excersizes, warm up, practice on a punchbag.....im not interesting in sparring with anyone, thats not my thing. Do you think any martial arts classes would cater for someone that doesnt want to do combat but just wants to learn the technique? Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baztkd Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 hi fionajane the traditional side of taekwondo would suit you very well , the fitness and warm up and the kicking exercises, you would also learn the patterns involved in the grading system and self defence ,you would not have to take part in the sport fighting side if you did not wish to do so . sheffield taekwondo academy , myers grove school . contact no 07980059124 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also need a beginners place in town. We have a beginners class in the town centre. KNOX Boxing gym 77 sidney street Sheffield S1 4RG We make sure that beginners are well looked after for their first few classes as we dont like beginners getting bad habits or getting incorrect technique ingrained into you as if that happens it is harder to correct bad habits i find. You will be more than welcome at one of our beginners classes. Monday and Thursday 830-930pm. Hope to see you there. Our gym is round the corner from Decathlon sports shop.
