Wimbish: Evergreen Taekwon-Do at Carver Barracks

Minimasters (3-6 yrs) 4-4:30pm

Junior Masters (7-12 yrs) 4:30 - 5:30pm.

Please note, for the Minimaster class we ask parents to wait outside, as this age group (3-6 yrs) are easily distracted and in my experience having Mum, Dad or siblings in the room doesn’t always help. Should there be any problems I will be sure to come outside and get you.

Please remember to bring a completed consent form for each child including a signed second page, if sheets are printed separately.

We train in bare feet and ask all students to attend in light clothing, PE kit or similar with any jewellery removed prior to the lesson.

We also ask all students especially those in the junior class to bring their water bottles with them. There is drinking water available at the hall but it‘s always good to be prepared.

I’m excited to see you all there!
