Waterside Taekwondo Club
was
opened in 1992 by myself after I gained much experience from Master Mark Biddlecombe 5th Dan of Southampton City Club.Waterside
Taekwondo Club started at Hardley School on a Wednesday night while the Sunday
lesson was at Fawley Jubilee Hall which is still the venue.Waterside has
a very strong community following which links Blackfield, Fawley, Holbury, Hythe,
Dibden Purlieu and Marchwood together as a unit in name.The Club won
many trophies in it's short history including the best club trophy for
1997,1998,1999 for the Southern
Chungdokwan Championships. We have also produced
many fighters over the years who have held the great title of Southern Champion
of Chung do kwan many times.Waterside

some great names in World Taekwondo including Master

Waterside Tae-Tots Was opened in January 2002
After
good feedback from the general public regarding young children in the local
area. Young children from the ages of age 3 to 6 years old helped myself invent
a new style of martial art, Which involves Taekwondo and other freestyle martial
arts into one, also I have added the most important aspect to young children
which was lots of fun.
Waterside Tae-Kids Was opened in November 2002 after the success of the Tae-Tots on a Tuesday
night. I wanted the students to move on to another class as they found that
training with younger children would hold them back a little. The age group of 6
to 15 years old is working very well indeed, It offers more serious martial arts
training as well as giving them the opportunity to have fun as well as the right
times.
