Kids Taekwon-Do classes in Sligo
Kids Taekwon-Do classes in Sligo for children age 8 and up.
If you're looking for children's martial arts in Sligo, our kids Taekwon-Do classes run at Summerhill College and are built to welcome complete beginners. Children age 8+ start in Beginners Kids, and current junior members age 8–13 train Mondays and Fridays. Every class gives a clear routine, something to work towards and the encouragement to keep going — more confidence, better focus and progress they can feel.
