Taekwon-Do is a modern art of self defence developed in 1955 in Korea. The father and founder of Taekwon-Do, General Choi Hong Hi, researched other martial arts and used principals of modern science to design techniques which have maximum power and effectiveness. Taekwon-Do has grown in popularity and today is taught in nearly every country in the world.
Are you a beginner to martial arts? Or maybe you have or are training in another martial art. Maybe, you've trained a while back and want to get back into your martial arts training. Or you may just be looking for a regular fitness class, at Brighton & Hove Taekwon-Do we welcome everybody and all levels.
Simply, choose the right class for yourself and come along at least 5-10 minutes before the start of the class. You will be required to complete a registration form before you can join in (completed by a parent or guardian if under 18 years) wear appropriate clothing for exercise, such as jogging bottoms and t-shirt, we train bare foot, bring a bottle of water and you will need to pay for the class.

My two boys have joined a few months ago and I have noticed a marked difference in their confidence and physical strength. TKD is also great for their mind and body awareness as they need to learn sequences of movements and postures, even if they don't realize that they are learning because it is so much fun for them. Howard has such a wonderful way of teaching his students, professional yet friendly, so that everyone feels comfortable. Beginners get individual attention by more senior students until they learn the basics and gain the necessary skills. Also, children feel a sense of achievement

My son, who has always struggled to commit to anything, absolutely loves this class. He enthusiastically attends every weeks and that is a real testament to the patience, enthusiasm and joy with which Howard teaches. It has taught him to focus, be respectful and he can do some pretty cool kicks too. I'd highly recommend this taekwon-do group to anyone!

I joined Brighton & Hove Taekwon-do after a long break from the sport and so was a little wary of starting in a new school after such a long break. I found it incredibly welcoming and I can happily say that Mr Mayes is the best instructor I have trained under. His knowledge is expansive and is always ready to explain anything you're unsure about.
Both my kids train here now and are always eager to go each week as well as to take part in the extra sessions and gradings. Mr Mayes teaches with just the right balance of fun and guidance to keep them engaged and challenged.

I joined Brighton & Hove Taekwon-do about ten years ago; Mr Mayes is an excellent instructor, always making time for the improvement of both junior and senior students. The class has a friendly atmosphere and you'll know you've had a workout by the end of a class. With many classes available per week at different locations around Brighton and Hove, it is also great to have options if I can't make my regular class.

My children both started training with Howard from a young age (aged 5 and 3 ) and they have always enjoyed it and have been highly motivated and inspired. Over the last 10 and 5 years now respectively, they are very fit and confident, have taken part in competitions andn have never been bullied and kept going with the sport. Mr Mayes is a very calm and structured teacher, who knows exactly where each student is in his skills and abilities. He will support everybody in a very constructive, friendly and patient way. He and his senior student helpers have been positive role models for my boys. If

I've been practising taekwondo on & off for 20 years. (I took time out to do abit of travelling then had children ) but i always knew that i would come back to it and hope that my children would practice too. After being in Brighton for a while, i started looking up ITF clubs. And we found this one. It took me a while, sitting on the benches with my children coaxing them to join in, My youngest was about 5 when he started! Hes 9 now and is going for his blue belt and still loves TKD. There is nothing like a martial art to instill positive qualities that help you through life. It helps not only

I’ve been training with Brighton and Hove Taekwondo since 2003. I stopped training for 6 years and thought it would be hard to go back, but I needn’t have worried. The classes are always interesting and fun with and incredible instructor. Mr Mayes (Howard) is knowledgeable, encouraging with the right balance of respect and humour. I’m not naturally flexible but through great teaching, encouragement and perseverance have reached my Black Tag. The other students are welcoming and the classes have a warm and fiesndly atmosphere. I’ve seen some of the younger students go on to compete for the

I have been doing Taekwondo for almost eight years and I find myself on an incredible journey of all things both mental and physically. The classes are always varied, its never the same, and we all train hard… together. Taekwondo has helped me in all aspects of my life and has given me confidence that I know I would not have achieved if i hadnt started training. It always encourages me to be the best i can be as a martial artist and a person. I love it here!

My daughter has been attending Master Mayes TKD classes for nearly two years and has really has found the sport she loves. She currently does 3-4 classes a week such is her enjoyment of (and commitment to) this brilliant sport. Her self confidence and focus have sky rocketed during this time and I put a big chunk of this progress down to the… fantastic physical and mental aspects of learning Taekwon-Do. The club is friendly and run well and Master Mayes is a brilliant teacher. The kids are learning great skills, enjoying themselves and working hard. Good stuff and well recommended.

My Daughter, who has special needs, has been going to Howard Mayes' Taekwondo classes for several months now and is thoroughly enjoying them. Initially I was worried that this would have been too much of a challenge for her, especially as she had bad experiences with karate in the past, but I need not have worried. Howard has been an amazing… instructor who explains everything clearly, with great patience and his lessons are totally different each week. This makes them exciting and enjoyable and my Daughter, who normally struggles socially, is engaging with her peers and as a result has

Howard Mayes is an excellent taekwon-do instructor and seems to be hugely respected by his students. As well as regular classes, he goes out of his way to run special events and competitions, which are both fun and motivational. I particularly like the way that he encourages his black belts to be role models for those just starting out. My own children have been learning with him since the age of about 7. His classes have been brilliant, not just for their fitness but for their self-confidence and self-control.
