It was lovely to see so many of our graduated Mini Taekwondo Tigers now joining the bigger class.

They’ve learnt all the basics in Mini Tigers and it’s fantastic to see them ready for the next step, bringing with them all those important listening, focus and confidence skills they’ve picked up along the way.

It was also great to see so many parents joining in tonight, including some of our previous black belts who are now back training with their own children!
It does make us feel a little bit old but it’s brilliant to see another generation enjoying Taekwondo with us.

Our Mini Taekwondo Tigers classes are a great introduction to Taekwondo for children aged 3–6 years, helping them learn the basics in a fun and friendly environment before progressing into our main classes.

If your child is aged 3–6 years and would like to give Mini Taekwondo Tigers a try — or you have an older child or adult interested in starting Taekwondo — please get in touch.

📍 Classes available in Thornton, Poulton, Pilling , Blackpool Longridge and Wesham.

Welcome to all our new beginners .

Well done everyone — great effort and atmosphere tonight!

Keep up the consistent training and we’ll see you at the next class!

Fancy giving Taekwondo a try?

We’ve been teaching Taekwondo for over 40 years, and we still love seeing new students walk through the door for their very first class.

Northern Taekwondo is a family-run club, led by Grand Master Lee Heyes, 8th Dan, alongside his wife Laura, their daughters Ella and Poppy, and our fantastic team of experienced instructors. We’re proud to have taught generations of students and families across the Fylde Coast.

We currently teach in 16 primary schools, as well as running evening and weekend classes in Blackpool, Thornton, Poulton, Pilling, Wesham and Longridge.

Our classes are friendly, welcoming and, most importantly, fun! You don’t need to be fit, flexible or have any martial arts experience to get started — just come along and give it a go. Our instructors will teach you everything you need to know.

Taekwondo is a fantastic way to build confidence, fitness, coordination, concentration and discipline, while learning self-defence, making new friends and becoming part of a great team.

We have classes for children, teenagers and adults, plus our Mini Tigers classes for ages 3–6, so there really is something for the whole family.

For students who want to take their training further, we also have our Elite Athlete Programme, giving dedicated athletes the opportunity to train and compete at tournaments throughout the UK and across Europe.

Some of our students train simply for fun and fitness, some love working towards their next belt, while others have ambitions to compete at a higher level. Whatever your goal, there’s a pathway for you at Northern Taekwondo.

After more than 40 years of teaching, one of the best parts for us is still watching someone come through the door as a nervous beginner and seeing their confidence grow as they progress.

We’re proud to be a family-run club, and we want everyone who trains with us to feel welcome and part of the Northern Taekwondo family.

We’re currently welcoming new beginners across all of our classes.

If you fancy giving Taekwondo a try, drop us a message and we’ll find the class that’s best for you.

What a brilliant morning with two fantastic classes at Blackpool Sports Centre!

Our Mini Tigers had loads of fun working on their balance and coordination, using the beanbags and ladder drills. Lots of concentration, smiles and fantastic effort from everyone!

Then it was straight into our main class, where we worked on footwork drills and some new kicking techniques, before cooling down and finishing the session with our patterns.

🎂 A huge Happy Birthday to Sebastian for today and Ayman for Tuesday! We hope you both have an amazing birthday! 🎉🎈

Another great morning of training well done everyone!
