What do you love most about your job?
The greatest part of being a martial arts instructor is seeing our members develop, whether that is fitness, self confidence or skill!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Bluewave evolved from the well established Overton and Basingstoke Taekwondo Club. We established Bluewave to bring the very best of instructing in the Korean Martial Arts to Basingstoke.
Why should our clients choose you?
Bluewave can offer a unique combination of excellent training facilities with experienced instructors and a friendly supportive training environment. We are there to provide the best training experience whether you are a beginner training for fitness, looking for real usable self defence skills or an elite sport competitor.
Taekwondo (Ages 4 - 6)
Bluewave has run specialist classes for our youngest students for many years. These classes focus on developing the key ABC skills; agility, balance and coordination that are needed for a strong foundation in Taekwondo.
The KickStars™ programme is specifically designed to provide a first class structured and fun approach for introducing Taekwondo to this age group. Classes are taught using specialist qualified instructors delivering to a consistent national syllabus using coaching activities that are age appropriate, fun and safe. The aim of the programme is to ensure that those in the KickStars™ programme get the very best foundation to aid your child's progression in the dynamic Martial Art and Olympic Sport of Taekwondo.
The classes are a fun mix of multi-skill activities and games. We introduce the basics for all aspects of the Korean Martial Art and Sport of Taekwondo. The classes are taught as small groups to ensure excellent supervision and so plenty of individual attention can be provided. The structured approach also helps with the development of concentration and discipline while retaining the fun element vital for this age.
Taekwondo (Ages 7 - 11)
Taekwondo is a Korean Martial Art and Olympic Sport. The martial art side of Taekwondo includes a full range of upper body strikes and blocks but it is best known probably for its fast and dynamic kicks. In 2000 Taekwondo became a full Olympic sport and Bluewave teaches this World Taekwondo / Olympic style of Taekwondo; the only club in Basingstoke to do so.
The club's syllabus covers traditional technical martial arts skills, self defence and sport. We are first and foremost a martial arts club rather than a pure competitive club - though there are plenty of opportunities to compete if your child wants to. Our syllabus is challenging as our aim is to develop martial artists who will have strong and rounded skills in all aspects of Taekwondo.
Taekwondo not only helps develop agility, fitness and coordination but improves confidence and self discipline.
Our junior classes provide a varied approach with a friendly, structured and most importantly fun environment. A typical 60 minute class will consist of a dynamic warm up, focused work on 2 or 3 aspects of Taekwondo which will vary session by session, followed up a cool down. The junior classes have a focus on developing all aspects of Taekwondo including work to improve agility, coordination and flexibility. Our structured approach allows us to fully develop all our junior students at their own pace but to their full ability.

We welcome adult beginners of all ages and levels of initial fitness, whether you are new to the martial arts or have trained in the past. Our adult classes are structured to provide a varied approach with a friendly and relaxed environment suited to adult learning. A typical 90 minute class will consist of a dynamic warm up, focused work on 2 or 3 aspects of Taekwondo which will vary session by session, followed up a cool down. The adult classes have a higher level of focus on self defence and patterns (poomsae) than the junior classes as well as including more periods of self directed practice.
