New Wave Academy of Martial Arts
Not managed on Matador yetTaekwondo
New Wave Academy of Martial Arts is a South-East London club teaching Taekwondo and Hapkido, founded in 1995 by the Edwin brothers with a lineage that goes back to Master Phil Somerset's training in the late 1960s. This listing is its Buchan Hall base in Peckham, one of three venues the club uses across Nunhead and Old Kent Road. Classes welcome children and adults, with a Tigers programme for the youngest and an Access to Taekwondo course as the route in for newcomers. Students follow a structured grading cycle, take part in camps and compulsory mass sparring sessions for higher grades, and have competed in sparring and patterns nationally and abroad. The club's stated aim is to produce stronger, more focused individuals.
