We cater to both ITF and WT styles and focus on all major aspects of Taekwondo: Kyorugi (sparring/the sport side of Taekwondo), Poomsae (patterns/the art side of Taekwondo) and self-defence. On top of in person training, we host weekly training sessions online on Zoom with a variety of classes offered. You also have the opportunity to enter up to 3 competitions and 3 gradings per year, providing plenty of opportunity for progression and development. We have had fantastic competition success as we are the first official BUCS champions with a 120 point lead (!) and are also five time Student Nationals champions. We have also dominated the UCL-KCL Taekwondo Varsity Series Competition for 4 years running.
