At the Dojang Academy classes focus on all aspects of Tae Kwon Do, from tradition self-defence to Olympic style sparring.  Classes are taught by Master Brian Johnston a 6th Degree black belt with over 20 years experience.

 

The Kyorugi Tae Kwon Do Club was formed in 1997 at the Bishopbriggs Leisuredrome, under the instruction of Mr Brian Johnston (junior) and with help from his father Mr Johnston (senior). The club consisted of only one class every Saturday from 10am to 11am and only catered for children.

As the club gradually began to grow over the years more classes where added catering for both children and adults, this caused the teaching syllabus of the club to be changed. The children are encouraged to practice the sports side of Tae Kwon Do and take part in competitions for both sparring and patterns, the adults are shown self-defence techniques and use Tae Kwon Do as a means of keeping themselves fit.
