The new classes will be held on Friday – March 15 at 10 am and every Friday thereafter at the above centre. Beginners and new members are welcome to the session.
Tamsin has turned as a mother and returning back to taekwondo after having children. When she practically experienced the importance of the art, she is inspired to form the club for women.
Tamsin said that doing hard exercises like jumping, etc will cause pressure and pain on the pelvic which affect the women’s health after their pregnancies. As she experienced such problems, she started feeling of providing ease exercise for mothers like her for improving their fitness and she uses mostly basic and low impact exercises for those returning to the sport.
