I trained in a different martial art before finding Mr Budge and the TAGB. After looking at a few different Tae Kwon Do classes I decided that this class was the one for me. His excellent manner with his students and his knowledge and instruction of Tae Kwon Do were exactly what I was looking for and I’ve never looked back…
Both myself and my son have been training under Mr Budge for 8 years now and have came through the gradings together, attaining our black belts in 2008. We love the fact that Tae Kwon Do is something that we have been able to do as a family as it is suited to all ages and abilities. Helping out in class with the guidance and support of Mr Budge gave me the confidence to go on to college and gain an HNC in Sports Coaching with development, something I thought was beyond me at my time in life. I have also gained qualifications as an umpire and instructor through TAGB courses. The future? … I hope to follow in my instructors footsteps and pass on the knowledge and instruction that I count myself fortunate to have had. What have I gained from doing Tae Kwon Do? The list is endless, now it’s time to give some back.

My son loves coming to Tae Kwon Do with Mr Budge. It has taught him discipline, listening skills, co-ordination and above all it’s fun. Everything you need wheen you’re 5!

Angus Budge is a true star when it comes to instruction, working with children and understanding the links between school and club development. Since I started working with him he has been completely committed to promoting his sport, he delivers with passion, experience and a huge breadth of knowledge in his discipline.
Every child that has been lucky enough to have a taster with Angus and his colleagues has come away with a smile on their face and a revitalised enthusiasm for sport and healthy activity!

We had a great time at the Inch Park learning how to do lots of different sports. We both really enjoyed learning how to do Tae Kwon Do. We liked running up and punching the pad.

I liked the part when you had to step then do a kick then step back.

Thank you very much for showing us how to do lots of Tae Kwon Do moves. I liked it when the person held up the pad and you had to punch then kick and shout.

We really enjoyed learning Tae Kwon Do in the Inch Park last Thursday. We liked learning how to punch really fast and how to kick sideways.

The class has had a fantastic impact on my son: he loves training at home. I have noticed his body strength improve. I can see my son being with Angus for a long time as he is a fantastic instructor and is great with children.

I took Callum along to Tae Kwon Do initially because he was getting bullied at school. He has now been there for 2 1/2 years and loves it. He is more confident and a lot stronger and well able to deal with bullies.

Mr Budge has helped me to achieve my personal TKD goals and then aim higher. He is always 100% committed to helping everyone.

The class is always great fun and even when I’m tired after school and don’t feel like going, I always feel better + invigorated after I do. Also, ever since starting I feel like I’ve gotten stronger + I have more stamina now 🙂

My parents signed me up for TKD when i was in primary school. For years that was just my hobby, but now i realise the great benefits of regular sport activity : fitness, better self-awareness, friends I have made along the way.
