New Monday Classes at the YMCA Romford – Off to a Flying Start!

We’re excited to share that our brand-new Monday Family/Child class at the YMCA in Romford has officially launched — and it’s already a hit! From strong first-time energy to focused students getting stuck into self-defence, drills, and movement skills, this new session is shaping up to be a great addition to the Tang Sou Dao timetable.

Held every Monday from 6:00pm to 7:00pm, the class is open to all abilities and ideal for kids, parents, and families looking to train together. Whether you’re brand new or returning to martial arts, it’s a fun, welcoming way to build confidence, fitness, and practical skills.

The YMCA provides a great space to train, with a friendly atmosphere and even a café nearby for that post-class hot chocolate or coffee fix (yes, we’ve tested it already ☕).

Whether you’re based in Romford, Dagenham, or just want to try something new on a Monday evening, this session gives you another great opportunity to get involved—especially if weekdays are usually tricky.

And the best bit? Your first lesson is totally FREE. No pressure, no expectations—just turn up, give it a go, and see how you get on.
