In Tre, you practice self-defense outdoors – more martial art than martial sport. Sessions include hand techniques, kicks, grappling on grass, forms, breakfall techniques, sparring drills, and bodyweight strength training. It’s not dangerous, but practical and versatile.
The training is rooted in taekwondo, but without a focus on competition or belt testing – it's about understanding and applying techniques in real situations. You’ll train on grass, in hills, and maybe even in water, in both sun and rain.
Tre was created as a reaction to the commercial fitness focus, with a desire for more holistic movement and meaningful practice.
