🥋🇬🇧 BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIPS 2026 🇬🇧🥋

📅 Saturday 10th October 2026

This competition is a little different.

It is a closed event for a group of invited clubs who come together to support each other, share ideas and create a positive competition experience for our students.

It is not about one club being bigger or better than another.

It is about clubs working together to provide a friendly, beginner-level competition where students can gain experience, build confidence, develop resilience and enjoy putting their Taekwon-Do into practice.

🥋 Patterns
🥊 Sparring
🏆 Competition experience
🤝 Sportsmanship
❤️ Clubs supporting clubs

For many students, this may be their first step into competition.

For developing coaches and umpires, it is also an opportunity to learn, gain experience and grow together before moving on to larger events.

Every club involved helps make this competition what it is.

We welcome ideas, suggestions and support from all of the participating clubs, because this is our competition together.

Different clubs.
Different associations and affiliations.
One shared aim:

To give our students the best possible experience and help Taekwon-Do continue to grow.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone again on 10th October and making it another great day together. 🥋❤️

🥋 DMA Competition & Squad Training

We’re looking at launching regular DMA Competition & Squad Training for students who want to take their Sparring and Patterns to the next level.

The proposed sessions would start:

📅 Saturday 12th September

🕑 2:00pm – 3:30pm

🔁 Fortnightly on Saturdays

💷 £5 cash per session, payable to the coach on the day

These sessions would be focused on developing:

• Competition Sparring – timing, movement, tactics and combinations

• Patterns – technique, power, presentation and competition performance

• Confidence, experience and a stronger DMA competition team

Students must be above Yellow Belt and have a full set of sparring safety equipment.

We’ve sent an email out to members today so we can see how much interest there is before making this a regular part of the timetable.

👉 Please check your emails and click either Interested or Decline.

Even if it’s not for you, please click Decline so we can get a true idea of numbers.

If there’s enough interest, we’ll get the squad training up and running from Saturday 12th September. 👊🥋
