For the past eight years, UCL Taekwondo has been the largest and most successful university Taekwondo club in the UK! Our club offers a fantastic way to stay fit, learn self-defence, and, most importantly, connect with a welcoming and supportive community.
We welcome members of all abilities and backgrounds, from complete beginners to experienced black belts, and tailor our training sessions to ensure everyone can progress at their own pace. Whether you're looking to compete, improve your skills, or just have fun, there's a place for you at UCL Taekwondo!
Description (Edit summary)
At UCL Taekwondo, you'll be trained by our three incredible, internationally recognized coaches: Sai, Georgina, and Bianca! Each of them competes or coaches at the national and international level, ensuring you receive top-tier guidance. You couldn't ask for better mentors!
Our club offers access to a variety of classes and disciplines, allowing you to choose what suits you best:
🥋 WT, ITF, Freestyle Sparring, and Patterns.
- If you're a fighter at heart, sparring will be an exciting challenge.
- If you love choreography and want to craft your own routines, freestyle is for you.
- If you prefer performing patterns solo, in pairs, or as a team, poomsae is the way to go.
- Can’t decide? No worries—we encourage you to try them all!
Beyond our core training sessions led by our coaches and captains, we offer extra weekly sessions like our run club and yoga/Pilates, helping you build endurance and strength in a relaxed, friendly environment.
Even if you’re a complete beginner, you'll have the opportunity to grade and compete in up to three competitions per year, providing plenty of chances to grow and bond with your teammates. While the idea of competing might seem intimidating, our members genuinely look forward to it—it’s one of the most fun and rewarding parts of the club experience!
Speaking of success, we’ve had a strong track record in competitions:
🏆 8-time Student Nationals Champions, breaking our own record in 2024!
🥇 BSTF Club of the Year (2022).
🔥 Dominating the UCL-KCL Taekwondo Varsity Series—and we’re ready to do it again this year!
Of course, we’re more than just training. We host regular socials with both non-alcoholic and alcoholic options. Some highlights from last year include:
🎤 Karaoke nights
🍲 Potluck dinners
🎄 Our legendary Christmas party
Whether you're here to train, compete, or just make great friends, UCL Taekwondo is the place for you!
