Glasgow Tukido Club

Glasgow Tukido Club Tukido is a dynamic martial art and self-defence system. All ages above the age of twelve are welcome, but classes consist mainly of adults. Don't worry!

Literally translated The Art of Skilful Combat, Tukido offers an opportunity to develop fitness (cardio, strength and flexibility), stronger mind and a practical set of self-defence tools. Established over 30 years, Teh's Institute of Tukido teaches an effective but easy to learn form of martial arts useful for both self defence and general fitness. You think you are not fit enough? You think you

can't do it? We specialise in helping people discover their hidden capabilities - you'd be amazed what you can actually do! Also, we start at your fitness level and slowly build up your levels of fitness, flexibility, balance, coordination and self confidence, step by step. We not only have classes in Glasgow, but also in Motherwell, Kirkintilloch and Irvine. Why not come for a free trial class and discover your hidden potential?

🎄Xmas Class – 17 December 2025 🎄
What a way to end the year! The class brought together martial arts training and festive fun in true Tukido style. Santa led the class, with a brilliant turnout of students dressed as elves and other festive characters, turning a regular training night into a full Christmas spectacle. 🤩

Festive outfits aside, the focus and energy were still there—strong movement, sharp techniques, and plenty of laughs throughout the session. The students were full of smiles, seasonal cheer, and the great spirit that defines Glasgow Tukido Club. 🥊

Thank you to everyone who trained, dressed up, and made it such a memorable night. Enjoy the photos and a well-earned festive break! 🎊

We are thrilled to announce that Stuart Carlton of Glasgow Club has successfully passed his Instructor’s Exam on Sunday, 25th May!

Stuart has been a dedicated and valued member of the Tukido family for many years, contributing immensely to the growth and spirit of the Martial Art. As a practitioner, he has achieved significant success in both training and competition. In recent years, he has taken on the demanding challenge of becoming a fully qualified instructor — a journey requiring not only technical expertise but also a deep commitment to personal development.

Through hard work and determination, Stuart has mastered the essential skills needed for this role and has rightfully earned the title of 2nd Degree Black Belt Instructor.

On Sunday, 9th June, Grandmaster Teh formally presented Stuart with his Instructor’s Certificate and Uniform at the Kirkintilloch Club, in the presence of fellow students, instructors, and proud family members who gathered to celebrate this remarkable milestone.

Stuart is an outstanding addition to Tukido’s team of instructors, and we are excited to watch him inspire and guide the next generation of students. (.. continued on next post).
