Training in Llanrumney
Boxing, taekwondo and rugby in east Cardiff.
Most of Llanrumney's training is coached in halls. Llanrumney Phoenix Boxing Club is the boxing gym, and taekwondo comes from two schools: Reaction Martial Arts, which teaches beginners from age 5 up to adults, and Nicola Turecek Taekwondo, which runs classes across east Cardiff and Caerphilly. Rumney RFC, founded in 1950, fields teams from under-7s to seniors, and Cardiff University's sports fields are here too.
The Rumney Recreation Ground and Eastern Leisure Centre site matters to people here: in a 2009 community poll, 93% of voters in Llanrumney and Rumney rejected building a school on it. Cardiff Bus 49 and 50 run frequently to the city centre, and the 65 and 65A link the estate to the Heath Hospital, so meeting a training partner elsewhere in Cardiff doesn't need a car.
