ABOUT COLOURS MARTIAL ARTS
As well as our Taekwon-Do classes, we offer a programme that's tailor-made for children aged four to seven years old, called 'Colours Cubs'.
These sessions use the martial art of Taekwon-Do as a vehicle to teach basic self-defence skills as well as essential life skills, including communication, focus and discipline, coordination, fitness and self-esteem.
This programme helps to ensure that children are ready physically and mentally to be successful in school and around the house, as well as wider life and their future martial arts journey.
Colours Martial Arts offers high-quality martial arts classes for children, adults and families of all ages in Plymouth and Ivybridge.
We have been teaching in the Plymouth and Ivybridge area for over twenty years now, and have helped to empower hundreds of students through martial arts training.
We teach the Korean art of Taekwon-Do, a modern martial art which empowers both the mind and body through comprehensive physical and mental training.
For those looking to get fitter, lose weight, gain confidence and empowerment, develop a knowledge of self-defence skills, or those who are simply looking for something different to try... we can help!
OUR CLASSES
COLOURS CUBS
Our 'Colours Cubs' classes are designed exclusively for four to seven year olds. They use martial arts as a platform to teach playground self-defence and child safety (previously known as 'stranger danger'), as well as self-control, discipline, self-regulation, confidence and self-esteem.
JUNIORS
Our Junior syllabus, for children aged seven to sixteen, teaches the art of Taekwon-Do as a method of self-defence, made applicable to the playground setting, the park, or wherever else your child may find themselves. Our Juniors also learn sport-sparring skills, whilst always setting the standard for courtesy, discipline and respect.
TEENS & ADULTS
Our Adults study the traditional art of Taekwon-Do, which is the scientific use of the body in the method of self-defence; a body that has gained the ultimate use of its facilities through intensive physical and mental training. We train traditional forms/patterns, as well as power-breaking, practical self-defence scenarios, and sport-sparring skills.
