Description

Welcome to Lancaster University Taekwondo Club

Taekwondo is a South Korean martial art with an emphasis on flexibility and kicks. At Lancaster Univeristy Taekwondo we teach the Olympic recognised style of Taekwondo, WT. Under British Taekwondo our lovely coach Becky will cover self defence, line work, sparring and general fitness! as a 5th Dan blackbelt and a previous Lancaster Univerisity student, Becky is a perfect fit for new and returning students.. Throughout the year there will be opportunities to compete at BUCs, BUTL, Manchester open and Roses!! hosting our first Roses event last year we hope to continue this traction and maintain ourselves as a roses competing sport!

 

A new additiion this year is an introduction of ITF sessions. ITF stands for International Taekwon-Do Federation, and is the cousin to World Taekwondo! These sessions will be student led by our Black belts, and are designed to provide a space for prior ITF students to continue their training at University! We will be competing in ITF competitions throughout the year and hopefully roses by the Summer term. It is important to note we do not offer ITF gradings nor instructed teaching, so if you are new to Taekwondo, WT may be more suitable.

 

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 have regular socials such as meals, bar crawls, collbrations with other societies, 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 love to see beginners come try something new.
