Taekwondo has a lot to offer. It will help you to protect yourself, get you involved in an exciting Olympic and Commonwealth sport, and an amazing martial art with brilliant kicks that are seen in the many Hollywood movies. We want to make you fit and strong and have bags of confidence all while learning loads of techniques so you may achieve your Black Belt. We also hope that you will make heaps of new friends and get loads of enjoyment while you are training through the many games.
You will be taught in the three main aspects of Taekwondo: art form, self-defence, and sport Taekwondo. Without good basic technique learnt as part of the art form, you can not have fast techniques for the sparring aspect when doing sport Taekwondo, which makes you react faster in self defence.

The earliest records of Taekwondo practice date back to about 37 BC. Evidence of the practice of Taekyon (the early known form of Taekwondo) by the warriors of Korea, known as the Hwarang, has been found in paintings on the ceiling of royal tombs. These and other paintings show unarmed men using techniques that are the same to those of modern day Taekwondo.
On May 28, 1973 a new, world-wide organisation, the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), was formed to bring together all the schools of Taekwondo. Since that day, all WTF Taekwondo activities outside of Korea have been co-ordinated by the WTF; the only official organisation recognised by the South Korean government which acts as an international regulating body for Taekwondo.
The crowning achievement of Taekwondo as a combat sport came when the art was designated an official demonstration sport for the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea and then a fully recognised sport in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. The first Commonwealth Taekwondo Championships began in August 2006 at which Northern Ireland competes.
Taekwondo remains a strong martial art with it being practiced in Korean schools and in the Korean army.
Taekwondo has continued to grow and be practised all over the world, boasting an international membership of more than 20 million practitioners in over 120 countries, making it the most practised martial art style in the world.
