About Jungshin Red Beach, International Taekwon-Do

Jungshin Red Beach is a Taekwon-Do club based in the hall at Red Beach Primary School, at 20 Albert Hall Drive, Red Beach, on the Whangaparāoa Peninsula. The club was founded in 1991 by Vince and Shirley Pygott, and it moved to Red Beach Primary School in 1998. The name Jungshin was chosen to show that Taekwon-Do is as much mental training as physical, and the club's teaching reflects that. It runs Mini-Kids classes for young children, as well as classes for older kids and adults.

The club holds no classes on public holidays or during school holidays, so families should check the timetable before booking. Enquiries are made through the club's contact page, and the site has a beginners page that explains what to do before a first class. The club says it has a long history of teaching children, and that some of its former students have gone on to teach. The club's Whangaparāoa base is a short drive from the Stanmore Bay and Long Bay clubs, which share the same founders.
