"When I joined Cobourg Tae Kwon Do some 6 years ago, I was looking for fitness. The only exercise I was getting consisted of laps between the couch and fridge. When I entered the facility I was immediately taken by the excitement and enthusiasm of the members and instructors. The club has changed over these 6 years but the enthusiasm has remained. Sir Jonathon strives and succeeds at infusing the club with energy, personal challenges and fun. The curriculum is a blend of traditional Tae Kwan Do honed with modern, proven training techniques. Within my first year I lost almost 20lbs. My flexibility has greatly increased. I can almost do the splits (someday...). The kickboxing classes have done wonders for my cardiovascular fitness. If you are looking for a fun, social way to get in shape, escape the stress of work and learn a great martial art with amazing instructors you can do no better than Cobourg Tae Kwon Do."
