𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.

In 2023, Pilsung Taekwondo Club - Sheffield instructor Master Simon Turton suffered a life-changing workplace accident.

He was left with devastating injuries, including fractures to both bones in his left forearm, wrist, skull and eye socket. Doctors could not guarantee how much mobility he would regain.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹.

Through countless hours of rehabilitation, strength work and determination, he slowly rebuilt what had been taken away. He returned to coaching within weeks, leaned on the support of his club and the wider Taekwondo community, and set his sights on the challenge that had been delayed by his accident: 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟲𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝗻.

Last weekend, after 28 years of dedication to Taekwondo, Simon stepped onto the floor at the UK Kukkiwon Office High Dan Promotion Test and achieved that goal on an inspirational day at the National Taekwondo Centre.

His journey embodies the values at the heart of Taekwondo: 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁.

There may have been times when he didn’t think it could happen, when the pain of rehabilitation was difficult to bear, but Sunday was proof of his determination and commitment to our Martial Art, and the loyalty of the British Taekwondo community to support one of their own.

In 2019, what began as an ordinary training session at Koryo Taekwondo quickly became something far more significant.

Leanne was diagnosed with Neuroendocrine cancer, a rare form of cancer that, once it spreads, is rarely curable. Yet throughout the challenges, uncertainty and treatment that followed, she refused to let her diagnosis define her.

Instead, she continued to move forward, drawing strength from her family, friends, medical team and the Taekwondo community that stood beside her every step of the way.

That determination culminated in a landmark achievement last year when she earned her 5th Dan, marking another incredible chapter in her Taekwondo journey.

Over the past seven years, Leanne has shown what can be achieved through perseverance, positivity and an unwavering belief in yourself. Through every challenge, she has continued to inspire those around her with her courage, commitment and infectious smile.

For anyone facing their own battles, Leanne’s story is a powerful reminder that a diagnosis does not have to define your future. With the right support, the right mindset and people who believe in you, it is possible to continue pursuing your goals and living life to the fullest.

A massive thank you to .productions for helping us to tell Leanne’s story!

We encourage as many of our instructors and support staff within our clubs to join this webinar and learn more about making Taekwondo accessible to all, as well as opening up conversations within our community so everyone who walks into a British Taekwondo club feels supported.

This is the first in a number of webinars and workshops we have in store to support our clubs, and we look forward to even more development opportunities and educational sessions planned throughout the year.

Together, we can continue building a Taekwondo community where every member feels valued, supported, and able to reach their full potential.

Years of challenging training sessions, setbacks, sacrifices and perseverance all lead to moments like these.

Sunday's 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 brought together practitioners from across the UK, with 17 members successfully achieving their next Dan grade and seven athletes earning their first black belt.

It was a day that showcased everything that makes Taekwondo special: 𝗱𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵.

This was a great celebration of our Martial Art at the National Taekwondo Centre, and for those who participated, it was the reward for countless hours of hard work and a milestone on a lifelong journey.

Behind every achievement stands a network of coaches, instructors, families, clubmates and volunteers who help make these moments possible. Together, they form the foundation of a thriving Taekwondo community across the UK.

Congratulations to everyone who stepped onto the mats and achieved their goals. Your success is an inspiration to us all.

Where behaviour falls short of expected standards, it may be reviewed in line with the Code of Conduct and disciplinary processes.
