“We joined thinking it would just be a fun way to keep the kids active — but Kingdom Taekwon-Do has given them so much more. Their confidence has grown, their focus in school has improved, and they feel part of a real community. It’s been incredible to watch.”— Parent, Tralee
The Kingdom Schools
Taekwon-Do Advantage
Confidence, discipline, and respect — skills for life, not just the Dojang.
Most kids today struggle with focus,
confidence, or low self-esteem.
At Kingdom Taekwon-Do,
we help them turn that around — fast.
Through structured martial arts training, children gain real confidence, discipline, and resilience — not just on the mats, but in school, at home, and in everyday life.
For adults, it’s a powerful way to take back control — physically and mentally — while learning practical self-defence in a positive, high-energy environment.
Under the guidance of Master Adrian O’Mahoney, 8th Degree, Kingdom Taekwon-Do isn’t just about kicking and punching.
It’s about building stronger, more capable people
— from the inside out.
Today’s world is full of noise, pressure, and uncertainty — and that’s exactly why confidence and discipline matter more than ever.
At Ashbourne Taekwon-Do, we go beyond martial arts. We develop focused minds, resilient bodies, and future leaders ready for whatever life throws their way.
