Inspire Taekwondo, based in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, has been a cornerstone of Taekwondo training in the UK for 11 years. Founded by Simon Scales, a 5th Degree Blackbelt with over 40 years of martial arts experience, this school is known for its dedication to excellence and transformative student experiences.
Motivated by the success of the London Olympics in 2012, Inspire Taekwondo aims to keep "inspiring a generation" through the practice of Taekwondo. Simon's unique approach integrates his vast knowledge not only in ITF Taekwondo but also in WTF Taekwondo, Kung-fu, Kickboxing, Escrima, and Boxing, providing a well-rounded training regime. Additionally, as a professional personal trainer, Simon includes functional and bodyweight training focused on mobility and natural movement.
Inspire Taekwondo welcomes individuals from all walks of life, creating a family-friendly and supportive environment where players can grow both physically and mentally. The school emphasises community, encouraging everyone to pursue their true potential. Classes cover the art of Taekwondo, with its diverse techniques - kicks, blocks, punches, throws, and grapples - providing effective self-defence skills and introducing new challenges.
A core component of Taekwondo, the 24 Patterns, helps students develop correct technique, balance, and precision. These patterns, along with the moral tenets of courtesy, self-discipline, and respect, make Taekwondo not just a sport but a way to learn about Korean culture and history.
For sports players looking to tap into their potential and become part of an enthusiastic community, Inspire Taekwondo offers the perfect starting point. Additional information about classes, enrolment, and the inspiring student gallery can be found on their website. Join Inspire Taekwondo today and start your journey towards excellence.
