Carlisle Taekwon-Do School is the leading Taekwondo institution in Cumbria and operates full-time, under the professional guidance of Fraser Cruickshank, a 6th Dan, along with a select team of fully certified instructors. As a member of the Taekwondo Schools UK group and the APTI, affiliated with the I.T.F. (International Taekwondo Federation), the school provides an extensive range of seminars and training camps, collaborating with both internal and external organizations on a national and international level.
The school's main training studio is equipped with specialist martial arts floor matting certified by the World Martial Arts Federation, a fully air-conditioned studio, safety mirrors for technique correction, kick bags, kick shields, and hand pads for developing power, technique, and focus, as well as wall bars for dynamic stretching and machines for assisted workouts. Pull-up bars and various weight training equipment are available for members during classes.
Enhance your training at our exclusive members-only gym, equipped with state-of-the-art free weights and cardio rooms. We provide all the essentials to sculpt your inner warrior, from 1-50kg dumbbells, hack squats, leg presses, and cable machines to power cages for strength training; as well as treadmills, assault rowers, and bikes for cardiovascular fitness. And for recovery, unwind with our infrared sauna to conclude your session.
Members enjoy dedicated changing rooms, shower facilities, lockers for storage, chilled water fountains, and both cold and hot drink machines. Enjoy a fresh LavAzza coffee or another hot beverage in our members' waiting area before training or while waiting for your child's class.

Safety
The training environment is welcoming, secure, and designed to be stress-free. Beginners are not subjected to pressure; instead, the pace is set to be gradual, increasing as you gain confidence. We'll build up to higher levels together, step by step.
Our teaching philosophy is straightforward: pressuring students with low confidence early on won't bolster their confidence; it might even erode the little they have.
Note that all instructors are certified in HSE First Aid and have undergone DBS checks. Your safety is our priority!
At Carlisle Taekwon-Do School, we are dedicated to developing both the physical and mental wellbeing of our students in a safe, supportive environment. Our experienced instructors are not only fully qualified in martial arts instruction, but are also trained Mental Health First Aiders and Yellow Button holders, meaning they are equipped to support emotional and psychological wellbeing as well. Whether you're looking to build confidence, improve fitness, or develop self-discipline, we provide a nurturing space where students of all ages can grow. It’s not just about kicking and punching—it’s about looking after the whole person.
The school is affiliated with the APTI (Association of Professional Taekwondo Instructors). Thanks to Mr. Cruickshank's connections in Taekwon-Do, we maintain strong ties with some of the UK's top practitioners, enabling us to offer a diverse range of seminars.
