What people say

Reviews

Real words from our students and their families.

★★★★★ ”

Deeside Taekwondo is a fantastic family friendly Taekwondo school. Children and adults learning and training together. You are encouraged and supported throughout your journey, its a great way to get active. Classes 7 days a week mean there's always a session you can train in.

My 7 year old daughter has been attending Deeside Tae Kwon for 3 months. She didn't know anyone since starting but absolutely loves it. Mr Richardson knows the names of all his students and the praise and encouragement she has been given has been amazing. The club is the most inclusive club any of my children have attended and I can honestly say its like a family. Phoebe is aiming for her black belt eventually she tells me 🙂

Master Richardson is a very experienced instructor and he knows his pupils well. His confidence rubs off on the pupils and he is truly impressive in his ability to empower children. Over the years, he has mastered the ability to inspire kids to give their best. Glad we found this club!!
