WT · Olympic Style · All Ages
Kick Higher. Think Faster. Stand Taller.
EBA’s flagship discipline. World Taekwondo (WT) / Olympic style — practised from age 5 through adulthood. The art that builds the athlete and the person simultaneously.
The Discipline
The art that
built EBA
from the start.
Taekwondo is EBA’s founding discipline — the art Dr. Breedy has practised, competed in, and taught for decades. WT style (World Taekwondo / Olympic style) is the globally recognised governing body, with a competition pathway that runs from club level through to international and Olympic competition.
At EBA, taekwondo is taught as a complete martial art — not just a kicking system. Poomsae (forms), sparring, self-defence applications, and the philosophical underpinnings of the art all have a place in training. You develop a physically capable body and a more composed mind.
What You Gain
The art that
stays with you.
The Curriculum
Complete
taekwondo.
EBA teaches the full WT syllabus — not just kicks. Forms, sparring, self-defence, and philosophy are all part of the programme at every level.
Fundamental stances and blocks
Every technique in taekwondo roots back to stance and guard. Students begin here regardless of age — these are the foundations everything else is built on.
Kicking technique
Front kick, roundhouse, side kick, back kick, axe kick, spinning techniques — each taught in chamber-extension-recovery sequences with correct hip engagement.
Poomsae (forms)
The Taegeuk forms encode the entire art in movement sequences. Poomsae develops memory, coordination, and precision — and are the primary vehicle for belt grading.
Sparring (Kyorugi)
WT Olympic-style sparring with full safety equipment. Tactical, point-based, and strategic. The competitive format that made taekwondo an Olympic sport since 2000.
Philosophy and tradition
Tenets of Taekwondo: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, indomitable spirit. These aren’t decorative — they are taught, modelled, and expected.
Who This Is For
From age 5 to
any age.
Taekwondo at EBA serves the full spectrum — young children building the fundamentals of movement and character, teens developing athletic identity, and adults pursuing serious martial arts training or competition.
Ages 5–6
Young beginners
The youngest class at EBA. Short sessions focused on gross motor development, listening skills, and introduction to the art. A healthy start that sets up everything that follows.
Ages 7–17
Juniors and teens
The largest group at EBA. This is where most belt progression happens — and where young people develop athleticism, discipline, and the self-assurance that martial arts builds.
Adults
Adult practitioners
Adults train in their own session — harder, more tactical, with a deeper emphasis on application and sparring. Many adults train alongside their children. All levels welcome.
Competitors
Those chasing medals
EBA competes. If you want to represent your country in WT taekwondo — at any level — this is where that journey starts. Dr. Breedy has walked this road himself.
Class Schedule
