About Seoul Taekwondo

Seoul Taekwondo is a martial arts school in Al Barsha, on Sheikh Zayed Road, that describes itself as "More Than Taekwondo. A Family." It teaches children from age 3 in three age groups - Toddlers (3-5), Little Tigers (6-10) and Teens (11 and up) - alongside adult classes, women's self-defence, sparring, poomsae and private training. Kids' classes run for 55 minutes, with a maximum of 10 students per class. The school is run by Master Yang, a 6th Dan Black Belt (Kukkiwon), International Taekwondo Master and Dan Examiner, whose experience includes coaching Team Qatar at the 2017 World Taekwondo Championship, instructing at the Korea Military Academy and the Royal Oman Police special task force, and teaching at the State University of New York's Korea campus. It also offers Virtual Taekwondo, sparring virtual opponents with VR/AR technology, which the school says makes it the only UAE studio with structured live virtual Taekwondo training. A free trial class is offered, and the Google listing notes a family discount.

The activity

Martial Arts, explained

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art built around kicks, strikes and set patterns of movement (poomsae), taught through coloured belts so children can see their progress. Classes build discipline, coordination, balance and confidence in a group, with drills, sparring practice and grading tests along the way. Many schools start children young: Seoul Taekwondo's youngest class, Toddlers, is for ages 3-5 and focuses on listening, balance and motor skills before children move up to Little Tigers (6-10) and Teens (11 and up). It also runs a Virtual Taekwondo programme using VR/AR, which it says is the only structured live virtual Taekwondo training in the UAE.

Who it's for

Children from age 3, in three published age groups: Toddlers (Ages 3-5), Little Tigers (Ages 6-10) and Teens (Ages 11 and Up). The timetable also lists belt-based kids' groups such as Yellow & Green (age 7-12) and Red & Black (age 10-15), plus adult classes, women's self-defence and private training for all ages.
