Training in Saint Mellons

Martial arts, playing fields and a lake.

There's no open gym on Saint Mellons' list. Training here is coached: Cardiff Martial Arts runs taekwon-do, kickboxing and Little Dragons classes in St Mellons, and Reaction Martial Arts teaches beginner-friendly taekwondo here as part of its east Cardiff classes. For a pool or a gym floor, Eastern Leisure Centre in neighbouring Rumney is the council option, and the Cardiff page lists the rest.

Much of the estate was built on the Wentloog Levels, low-lying farmland reclaimed from the sea, and Hendre Lake Park by the main line railway has a man-made lake. The district also has floodlit outdoor courts and playing fields, good for an evening circuit with a training partner. Cardiff Bus 30, 44 and 45 run frequently to the city centre.
