My husband, daughter and I have been attending Cobourg Tae Kwon Do for the past five years. Master Field and his instructors always run fantastic classes which are not only a lot of fun but also a great workout. The availability of both day and evening classes and the six days per week schedule makes it much easier to fit in classes around our own busy schedules. From day one as a complete beginner with zero martial arts training I felt welcomed by both the instructors and students and highly recommend this school for anyone interested in excellent martial arts training.

My daughter has attended Cobourg TKD since January 2017. She has loved it since day one. All of her instructors are very skilled, patient and kind. They not only focus on teaching the proper techniques but also on the importance of RESPECT and treating everyone equally. Every class is challenging, but the instructors are always there to encourage and help when someone is struggling. I highly recommend Cobourg TKD.

Cobourg Tae Kwon Do - Bored of the usual gym exercising ? Then give this a go. That's exactly what I did about 3 yrs ago and I am eligible to obtain my black belt next year. If you want variety in your training with an exceptionally knowledgeable (and more than qualified) instructor then this is the place to come. No one session is the same. Its half the fun turning up not knowing how the class will go. Fellow students are fun to work with and the senior qualified ones are always on hand to help you out with techniques. As well as Tae Kwon Do there is always the fitness classes too if you are

Our daughter has been an active member of Cobourg Tae Kwon Do from the age of 3 years when she joined as a little dragon. She's now aspiring (eagerly!) to become a black belt. Through her training she has gained confidence, respect, stranger awareness and an incredible sense of what she is capable of along with a huge esteem boost from the friendships she has made along the way. Thank so much Master Jonathan for running such excellent programs, camps, and courses that are targeted to every member of our family.

Both our children have been regularly participating in tae kwon do classes with Master Jonathan for over a year. The kids enjoy the friendships they make and accomplishments they achieve outside of the school environment. Even I joined the classes this past summer. It is an environment that promotes self respect and respect for others and has many advantages aside from the obvious fitness/martial arts aspect.
