About Us

Taekwondo is one of the most widely practiced martial arts in the world, renowned for its spectacular kicking techniques and athleticism. Practitioners develop formidable striking skills and mobility, while also improving their flexibility, strength, and overall fitness.

Our community is inclusive, diverse, and passionate. University first-timers, beginners, returners, people who cross-train in other martial arts, and international-level Taekwondo athletes come together to train and socialise in the same space. We believe that everyone, regardless of their background or skill level, can find others with similar goals here. Training sessions are led by qualified coaches and student leaders with a modern, inclusive approach. Beyond training, we boast a regular and fun social calendar with unique activities like roller skating and ninja warrior!  In the most recent Bristol Rate My Group survey, 100% of our participating members strongly agreed that “being part of my student group has helped me to feel part of a student community.”

Our squads compete three times a year at the BUCS Taekwondo Championships, which provide a route for qualification into the EUSA Games for the highest-level athletes, and a fun weekend away for all involved! We have a well-established WT Sparring squad and want to expand our WT Patterns, ITF Sparring, and ITF Patterns squads. If you're interested in competing, please get in touch! With recent investment into electronic point-scoring systems and other gear, we hope to provide you with impactful training opportunities. 

Wherever you may be in your Taekwondo journey, we are truly excited to meet and welcome you into our sports club!
