Indigo Warriors is a revolutionary activity program for boys and girls aged 5 to 8. It uses proven peak performance coaching techniques that top sports people and business leaders use to develop positive values, winning attitudes and key life skills. Children attend weekly classes. The classes use a combination of mental and physical development exercises, peaceful martial arts and games to inspire and motivate. The culmination of the programme is to have developed every child’s confidence, self esteem, communication skills and leadership so that they are able to lead a class of 12-15 children, for 10 minutes, on their own.
Taekwon-do brings together power & grace in an exciting and fulfilling martial arts practice. It is a Korean art of unarmed combat for self defence, physical development, personal development, sport, fun and friendship. It’s roots stretch back over 1,000 years and with that it has positive philosophical teachings in addition to physical development. It is the most popular martial art in the world practiced by over 80 million people and offers people of differing ages and interests a multitude of benefits. It is a living art and although it remains true to its origins it is also evolving, improving and developing.

A Day in the Woods
2024-11-09 10:00 - 15:00 | Lea and Pagets Wood, Hawkers Lane, Fownhope, Herefordshire, HR1, United Kingdom
Join our friendly and active group as we carry out conservation work in local nature reserves.
It’s always a good day in the woods 🙂
Over this winter and spring we will be working in a new compartment in Lea & Paget’s Wood: coppicing, felling, tree planting and fencing.
Coppicing is an ancient woodland management technique that was once used to ensure a regular supply of timber and firewood. Coppicing also creates a range of habitats for plants and wildlife – dramatically increasing the diversity of species that thrive in these areas.
Where oak is felled, we will be manufacturing (by hand) risers and posts for new footsteps that we will install in Nupend Wood over the summer months.
If you would like to come along and help your local wildlife, contact Martin Hales at wildwaysmartin@btinternet.com or call him on 01432 860438.
