Fortitude Taekwondo Academy East Grinstead

🏆 We’re delighted to announce the venue for the International Instructor Course this October!

This year’s IIC will be held at Imberhorne School in East Grinstead, West Sussex.

This is a great venue with excellent facilities and plenty of space for what promises to be an incredible weekend of Taekwon-Do training.

We’re looking forward to welcoming Black Belts from across the UK and overseas to train together under the guidance of Grand Master Val Douglas IX, Master Shane Fitzgibbon VIII, and myself.

Whether you’re attending your first IIC or your fifteenth, this is an opportunity to develop your technical knowledge, improve your teaching skills, and spend a weekend learning alongside like-minded martial artists.

Success isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistently turning up.

Our July Squad Training session was certainly a hot one! ☀️🥋

With the summer holidays beginning and temperatures soaring, numbers were a little lower than usual—but the quality of training certainly wasn’t.

Those who attended brought fantastic focus, determination and attitude throughout the session, while every one of our coaches was there to support and develop the team.

The reality is that progress isn’t built in one session. It’s built by consistently showing up, putting in the work and striving to improve, one training session at a time.

A huge well done to everyone who made the effort today. Keep turning up, keep learning and keep moving forward.

Another excellent Squad session… another step closer to our goals, and another one in the bank. 👊

☀️ They keep asking… so we keep turning up!

Another Summer Demo complete! 💥

A huge thank you to The Meads Primary School, East Grinstead, for inviting Fortitude Taekwon-Do Academy to your fantastic summer fair.

Our students were outstanding—showing skill, confidence, discipline and plenty of team spirit. We love sharing what Taekwon-Do is all about with our local community.

See you at the next one! 👊

Modern children spend more time than ever looking at screens.

Taekwondo gives them something different.

A place to move, learn, interact, solve problems, set goals, and build real confidence through real achievements. No filters, no shortcuts, no instant rewards.

Just steady progress, valuable life skills, and a sense of accomplishment that comes from earning every step forward.

Demonstrations are a fantastic opportunity to showcase your skills, build confidence, support the club, and have fun as part of the team.

If you’d like to take part, please let your instructor know. We look forward to seeing you there!

When choosing an activity for your child, who teaches them matters.

Great coaches do more than teach techniques. They know how to encourage children when confidence is low, challenge them when they are capable of more, and create an environment where every student can progress.

At Fortitude Academy, students benefit from experienced instructors who understand that martial arts is about developing people as much as developing skills. Every lesson is an opportunity to build confidence, discipline, respect, and resilience.

For parents, that means knowing your child is learning from positive role models who genuinely care about their development.

☀️ Another sunny day, another fantastic Summer Fair demonstration! 🥋
