The academy

A real institute,
not a fitness studio.

Markaz was built around one idea — that a belt should mean something. The full World Taekwondo Federation syllabus runs at the centre, with kickboxing, grappling and MMA layered on top.

White Belt

10th Gup · Beginner

Feature 01

Skill Level

Stance, guard and basic blocks. Learning to hold a position before learning to break one.

Feature 02

Poomsae

No form required yet. Attention goes to bowing, terminology and mat discipline.

Feature 03

Grading

Awarded on joining. The first real test comes at the end of your first cycle.

Questions

Before you walk in

Anything not answered here, message us — a person replies, not a bot.

None. Most people who walk in have never trained. The first month is fundamentals for exactly this reason — see the first 90 days.

Comfortable clothes, a towel and water. Dobok, gloves and shin guards can wait — coaches will tell you what to buy, available at the store.

Yes — Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 5:00–7:00 PM, as a closed women-only session with the same syllabus plus self-defence. See the timetable.

From age five. Built around coordination, listening and self-control first — contact is introduced slowly and always supervised. Parents can sit in.

Yes — the full World Taekwondo Federation syllabus with structured gradings. See the belt ladder.

Plenty do and never compete. You'll get the conditioning either way — and leave knowing how to defend yourself.
