Many of our classes are in schools, and we love to support the work of those schools
and all schools in the community. We’re not just martial artists: our instructors
include psychologists and experts on child behaviour, and people who work in education
as well as with LCTKD. We have long experience working with kids in many different
fields as well as, of course, martial arts.
We do enter into contracts with schools to deliver long term support, for example
working with disadvantaged or “difficult” kids, and we also operate after school
classes in conjunction with schools, but much of our work with schools is given free
of charge, including:
- Our “build a school TaeKwonDo Team” workshops
- get fit with martial arts sessions for P.E.
- demonstration assemblies
- team building, fitness and self defence sessions for staff
- work experience placements and DofE Residential Placements for pupils
We also offer schools we work with the chance to nominate pupils for an LCTKD Dragon
Scholarship. Sometimes, disadvantaged children would benefit greatly from the discipline,
confidence, and fitness that martial arts can offer, but just can’t afford to take
part. Our Dragon Scholarships offer schools the chance to make a positive intervention,
by providing free subscriptions and ongoing support for students in such circumstances,
nominated by their school. Contact us to find out more.
Current Projects
We have recently done a demonstration assembly for Ashton-under-Hill First School,
a demonstration at Kitebrook House School, an anti-bullying workshop for pupils at
Chipping Campden High School, and a free workshop as part of a science class with
Dormer House School, using martial arts to demonstrate theories about power. We are
in the middle of a series of workshops for Bredon Hill Middle School, scheduled to
do a demonstration at St David’s School fete in Moreton-in-Marsh, and will start
a series of in-school activities for Blackminister Middle School throughout September.
And….. have been invited to talk to two more schools about work we can do with them.
