Supporting children & young people with additional needs
At Enigma Taekwondo, inclusion is not an afterthought. It is part of who we are.
We proudly deliver specialist Taekwondo sessions for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, creating safe, structured and empowering environments where every individual can progress at their own pace.
Our Work in Specialist Schools
We currently run dedicated sessions at:
-
Watergate School
-
Drum Beat School
Both schools support pupils with complex and severe additional needs and learning disabilities. Our sessions are carefully adapted to meet the individual needs of each group, working closely with school staff to ensure pupils feel safe, supported and understood.
In these settings, Taekwondo becomes much more than a martial art. It supports:
-
Motor skill development
-
Coordination and balance
-
Focus and listening skills
-
Emotional regulation
-
Confidence and self-belief
-
Social interaction in a structured setting
We understand that every child's needs are different. Our instructors use clear communication, visual cues, repetition, and consistent routines to create an environment that feels predictable and positive.
Progress looks different for every pupil, and we celebrate all of it.
Small Group SEN Classes
Alongside our school-based work, we also offer small, specialist SEN classes outside of school settings.
These sessions are designed specifically for children who may find mainstream clubs overwhelming or unsuitable. With reduced class sizes and a calm, supportive atmosphere, we are able to provide more individual attention and tailored instruction.
These classes focus on:
-
Building confidence through achievable goals
-
Developing physical strength and coordination
-
Improving focus and structure
-
Creating a sense of belonging
-
Encouraging independence
We work closely with parents and carers to understand each child's needs before they begin, ensuring the right level of support from day one.
A safe & supportive environment
All sessions are delivered by experienced instructors who understand the importance of patience, structure and encouragement. Safety, safeguarding and wellbeing are always our priority.
Our aim is simple: to give every child the opportunity to experience success, movement, confidence and joy through Taekwondo.
