As a World Taekwondo club, athletes train and compete in both sparring and poomsae, showing we really do cater for all aspects of taewkondo. We primarily focus on sparring and fitness perfect for all levels and abilities. Additional opportunities include taekwondo based self-defence sessions, perfect for both males and females!

Athletes have the opportunity to compete within BUCS Taekwondo and Parataekwondo events beginning in October. For beginners we also provide test match days and friendly sparring events such as Glasgow vs Edinburgh to get you into the rhythm of sparring. Sparring is totally optional and the club is also perfect for those just hoping to increase fitness.
