My daughter has been attending classes at Tunbridge Wells Taekwon-Do for a few months now, and she is having a brilliant time. She looks forward to going every week, and learns so much during each class. I’m amazed by how much she’s learnt already, from kicks, punches and blocks, to Korean phrasing. Luke makes the lessons interesting and fun, and encourages them to push themselves, without them feeling pressured. She has just passed her first grading and is over the moon. I would highly recommend Luke’s classes.

My son really enjoys his Taekwon-Do lessons and is very motivated by the activities and the teacher.

Our son (6) has been doing Tae Kwon Do for more than a year with Tunbridge Wells Tae Kwon-Do. He thoroughly enjoys the classes and achieving his coloured belt stripes via the periodic tests. His core strength, confidence and concentration have improved throughout. The classes are energetic, fun and varied. In the classes the children also learn about how to deal with bullies and strangers, safety at home and balanced nutrition. Luke is a very positive, enthusiastic and professional instructor who the children clearly respect. Highly recommend.

My daughter (6) has been doing Taekwon-Do with Luke for 2 years now and she absolutely loves it. Classes in her age group are a mixture of Taekwon-Do practise and games to keep the children entertained. They learn discipline, improve confidence and also discuss how to stay safe. My daughter always looks forward to her grading and achieving the next rank. Luke is highly accomplished instructor, but most importantly he's very clearly a great teacher that knows how to work with children. Highly recommended.

I have trained with Mr Thompson for years and he is a fantastic instructor with excellent knowledge of the martial art! Classes are great fun and ideal for anyone who is interested in self defence or just want to lose some weight and get fit. Highly recommend.

Both my children who are 6 and 8 attend TKD lessons with Luke. My daughter was 7 when she started and I had heard it was good for self esteem and as she was having issues at school I signed her up (took lots of bribery to get her to the first lesson), she was hooked after the first lesson. She said to me a few months ago after a lesson she was so pleased she started Taekwando as she loves it. My son who's 6 loves it equally. It's not a chore for them to go, they really look forward to it.

My son started Taekwon-Do as a 3 year old. I thought he might be too young, but not a bit of it. Luke is an absolutely fantastic and inspirational instructor and his sessions looked like so much fun that I was tempted to join in myself. The lessons are a mixture of games and core Taekwon-Do drills, and key themes like integrity, respect and concentration run throughout. My son benefitted hugely from the lessons in terms of discipline and self-esteem, and I can't recommend Tunbridge Wells TKD highly enough.
