About Us

Taekwondo has the largest university-competition scene of any martial art in the UK! Our practice is renowned for spectacularly fast, powerful, and beautiful kicking techniques. At our club, we celebrate both the traditional and the modern sports aspects of the martial art, and are proud to be supported by the university's Performance Sports programme and partnered with B:Active. 

At UOBTKD, we are certain that you will meet like-minded people regardless of your skill-level and background. Our community includes people who have never touched a sport, all the way up to international-level Taekwondo athletes. Training sessions are led by qualified coaches and student leaders with an inclusive approach.

Beyond training, we are proud to present a fun and packed social calendar with activities you do not want to miss! 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.”

We 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! Participation in competitions is highly encouraged for all and is made accessible through heavy subsidy of related costs. Our club is one of the few in the country that has electronic point-scoring equipment to train with regularly! 

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