Ricards Lodge sUMMER 3 WEEK FREE TRIAL

Train where London's best train, free for three weeks this summer

This summer, we're inviting students to experience real Olympic Taekwondo with a free three week trial at Peak Performance Taekwondo Academy in Wimbledon. You can book your trial anytime between 20th July and 5th September, so it fits around your holiday plans. No cost, no catch, and no obligation to sign up afterwards. Just turn up, train and see what you're capable of.

World class coaching

Our programme is overseen by Head Coach Jibreel Malik, a former Team GB athlete who represented Great Britain at World and European Championships and at international competitions around the world. Jibreel holds a BSc in Sport Science and is a graduate of the GB Taekwondo i-Coach programme, and he personally designs and oversees every part of our curriculum to the highest technical and coaching standards in the sport.

That standard shows in our results. Peak Performance is ranked the number one club in London and among the top three nationally, with athletes currently competing internationally on the road to the LA 2028 Olympic Games. During your trial you'll train in the same academy, on the same mats, guided by the same coaching principles that develop our elite athletes.

What you'll learn

Over three weeks you'll learn the foundations of Olympic Taekwondo: blocks, hand strikes and the dynamic kicking techniques the sport is famous for, alongside an introduction to basic sparring skills. Trial sessions are completely non contact between students. All techniques are delivered onto striking pads, so you get the excitement of real taekwondo in a safe, controlled environment from day one.

You'll also build the qualities our academy is known for developing: confidence, self discipline, resilience and the ambition to keep improving.

No pressure, no obligation

The trial is completely free. Start anytime from 20th July, and all trials must be completed by 5th September, so the latest you can begin is mid August. There is no obligation to join afterwards. If you love it, we'll talk to you about membership options at the end of your three weeks. If it's not for you, that's absolutely fine too. Places are limited, so book early to secure your spot.
