Following on from the recent exposure of Taekwondo in the Olympic Games we hope that it will encourage more people of various ages to take up Taekwondo.
Improve your fitness, co-ordination, balance, flexibility, concentration, gain confidence and make new friends in a safe and friendly environment.

Bristol Taekwondo School has now attained Sport England Clubmark status.
Clubmark is the universally acknowledged cross sport accreditation scheme for community sports clubs.
It stands for:
1. Higher standards of welfare, equity, coaching and management in community sports club
2. Making sure the nation’s sports club infrastructure is safer, stronger and more successful
It shows that a club provides the right environment which ensures the welfare of members and encourages everyone to enjoy sport and stay involved throughout their lives.
An accredited club is recognised as a safe, rewarding and fulfilling place for participants of all ages as well as helping parents and carers know that they’re choosing the right club for their young people.

The Kukkiwon has now amended the rights of all Taekwondo Masters to help improve standards and to ensure that Kukkiwon practitioners are provided a means of cooperation and partnership with all other Kukkiwon practitioners.
All Kukkiwon certified Masters of 4th Dan and above will now have to pass multi-level examiner courses to allow them to conduct Kukkiwon dan promotions. After attaining their examiner licence they are then eligable to recommend up to 2nd dan and become a possible examiner on a grading panel.
The changes will take effect from 1st January 2016.
On Monday 17rd August the club will have a site visit from on of the BTC Clubmark Support Officer, Matt Brunger.
Master Chris Davies has been working to get the Clubmark status finalised which will give us additional opportunities.
