About
Welcome to Jon Churchward Schools of TaeKwon Do, one of the largest and most successful martial arts schools in the North of England. Located in Newcastle upon Tyne, we have multiple schools within the area. Founded in 2007, we specialise in teaching the International Taekwon-do Federation (ITF) style of TaeKwon Do.
TaeKwon Do is a modern Korean Martial Art of Self-Defence. The name itself carries meaning, with "Tae” representing the action of kicking or smashing with the foot, "Kwon” meaning to punch or destroy with the hand or fist, and “Do” symbolising an art or way. At Jon Churchward Schools of TaeKwon Do, we believe that TaeKwon Do is much more than just kicking and punching. It is a complete discipline that focuses on non-violent self-defence, character building, and entire body training.
We offer a variety of classes for people of all ages and skill levels. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn self-defence techniques and improve your physical fitness, or an experienced practitioner seeking to refine your skills, our experienced instructors are here to guide you. Taekwon-do provides numerous benefits, including physical co-ordination, toning, weight reduction, improved flexibility, cardiovascular conditioning, increased mental confidence, self-discipline, stress reduction, better self-image, and a more positive attitude.
At Jon Churchward Schools of TaeKwon Do, we prioritise the importance of values such as honesty, courtesy, humility, respect, courage, generosity, loyalty, and perseverance. We believe that these philosophies are essential for personal growth and development.
