National  Squad training Sunday 27th July 10:00-12:00, Heath Hospital Sports Hall. All black belts welcome. 
Since the first class was taught many years ago, the focus of our program has remained the same: to provide students the highest quality martial arts instruction available in a safe and positive learning environment that people of all ages can enjoy. Our instructors combine excellent student instructor ratios with state of the art training facilities. This has helped establish ITF schools and clubs as the leaders in the martial arts industry. Each instructor is a graduate of an instructor program that represents more than thirty years of research and development. He or she will be with you every step of the way to help you reach your individual goals (and maybe even reach some new goals you never before thought possible).
Having grown from humble beginnings in the early 1970s in South Wales Cardiff. Many clubs produced black belts that in turn started new clubs, and the organisation grew. Today ITF has over 50 clubs with many others starting in the near future.
