Saints Taekwon-do

The Taekwon-do club is open to people of all levels of experience, whether you’ve practiced Taekwon-do before or a complete beginner.

We practice in the ITF style, although those with experience in other styles shouldn’t be dissuaded from joining! With the guidance of our experienced instructors, students are provided with all the training and knowledge required in order to progress in Taekwon-do, as well as the opportunity to strengthen yourself physically and mentally. We are a certified Beginner Friendly club, so we are very supportive of those new to the sport. Beyond training, we also hold social events and fundraisers, such as our annual charity Kickathon, throughout the year.

Training sessions are run by our instructor Miss Zoë Tate, who started teaching in 1998 and is now a VI Dan. She works hard to make new and returning Taekwon-do practitioners welcome and aims to make sure all students reach their potential. She was also recently inducted into the BUTL Taekwon-do Hall of Fame for services to student Taekwon-do.

We have distinct sparring and technique classes, meaning there will always be a weekly opportunity to practice all aspects of Taekwon-do. For more information feel free to contact us!

For the higher grades, there is also a weekly technique, breaking and patterns class to help prepare for future gradings.

Miss Tate aims to run 3-4 gradings per year, so there is ample opportunity to progress through the belts with the club. If you would like more information don’t hesitate to contact us!
The club attended the BUTL World Championships in March 2022 and we are planning on attending the BUTL National Championships next year. We are also hoping to attend an international competition in this coming academic year.

There are plans to collaborate with University of Dundee’s Taekwon-do Club next academic year to participate in some friendly sparring matches as part of an interuniversity league.

The club has a dedicated Competitions and Events Officer within the committee to ensure we are involved with most competitions within the UK in future years.
Whether you are new to the sport or more experienced, already attend the University or if you are thinking about attending, please get in touch to register your interest and find out more about our club.

The University hosts a Sports Fayre at the beginning of each academic year during Orientation Week, giving prospective members the opportunity to talk to club members and sign up to ‘Give It A Go’ sessions.
