Taekwondo is Korea’s National sport and its immense international popularity has made it one of the fastest growing martial art forms in the world. Taekwondo is recognized as an Olympic sport and is governed by the World Taekwondo Federation, which The British Club is a member of through its affiliation with the Singapore Taekwondo Federation. As a Martial Art form, Taekwondo is a great medium to learn how to improve ones attention, agility, discipline and general fitness regardless of age or gender.
TAEKWONDO AT THE BRITISH CLUB Our club is proud to offer Taekwondo training to students of all ages and abilities, involving both Poomsae (Forms) and Kyorugi (Sparring) training. Both children and adults participate in our training sessions and we have recently welcomed families to join our sessions. The training sessions are conducted by very experienced instructors. Our Chief Instructor, Mr. Andy Tan, has been practicing Taekwondo for over 30 years and is a certified Third Degree Black Belt of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation. Under his tutelage, his students have gone on to achieve remarkable results in their Taekwondo examinations and numerous competitions and tournaments. Our training is not only focused on belt promotion but also on how to improve skill and technique, which has resulted in our club’s success in many National tournaments.

Taekwondo has become a way of life. I first joined The British Club Taekwondo section in October 2014 and have been thrilled to see great progress in my abilities- true testament to fantastic training and inspiring instructors. I have had the opportunity to participate in National tournaments and to train with a dedicated team of students and instructors. I enjoyed the training sessions so much that I just had to involve my family, too!
