About Carlisle Taekwon-Do School
Carlisle Taekwon-Do School is a full time centre, professionally run by Fraser Cruickshank the manager and the assistant managers, Gordon Thorburn and Rosie Hewitson. Part of the Taekwondo Schools UK group and a member of the APTI, the school offers a great variety of seminars and training camps both from within the APTI as well as other organisations.
The school itself is kitted out with safety mirrors for correcting technique; kick bags; kick shields and hand pads for developing power, technique and focus; and wall bars for dynamic stretching. It is one of the few schools in the country that supplies (free of charge) full safety equipment for children!
Safety
The training atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and safe. You will NOT be placed under pressure as a beginner, the pace is gradual. It will increase as you progress and become more confident but we work up to that level together step by step.
Our philosophy on teaching is simple - if a student comes to train with us with limited confidence, placing them under pressure in the early stages will not improve their confidence, but may well destroy what little confidence they already had!
It is worth noting that all Taekwondo Schools UK & APTI instructors are HSE First Aid qualified and CRB (police) checked. You are in safe hands!
The school is a member of the APTIand also affiliated to the BNMAA. Through Master Ferguson's (Chief Instructor of the A.P.T.I.) successful career in Taekwon-Do he has loyal friendships/links with some of the UK's most successful Taekwon-Do practitioners and as a result the school offers a good variety of seminars.
