Description

Welcome to Lancaster University Taekwondo society

 

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art with an emphasis on flexibility and kicks. We teach traditional Taekwondo as well as street self-defence against a variety of techniques (including knife attacks), fitness, Olympic-style sparring, and much more. There is an optional grading test at the end of every term, allowing you to progress through the belt system. You could be approaching black belt by graduation! 

 

Joining Taekwondo is a great opportunity and a relaxed environment to build self-confidence, get in shape, learn how to defend yourself and meet new friends. We compete around the country against universities across the UK which is a great opportunity to test your skills and make friends with other taekwondo practitioners! We have regular socials such as meals, bar crawls, collbrations with other socities, cinema trips and many more ideas to help you get the most out of your Taekwondo experience and uni life.

 

No prior martial arts experience is needed - we actively encourage complete beginners to join! We have 2 instructed sessions and 1 student led session per week. The instructed session are ran by our new instructor Andy Griffiths who has over 10+ year experince across multiple styles including Taekwondo, kickboxing and jiu-jitsu.
