Welcome to T-TKD Taekwondo.
On behalf of the students, staff & family members of the TTKD Taekwondo club we welcome you to our website. We take great pride in the accomplishments of our students and we hope that you will decide to start your Martial Arts journey with us.
We practice WT-style (World Taekwondo) or Olympic style Taekwondo.
Tae Kwon Do is the art of self defense that originated in Korea. It is recognised as one of the oldest forms of martial arts in the world, reaching back over 2,000 years. It blends self-defense and combat techniques for exercise and sport. Taekwondo is also Korea’s national sport.
‘Tae’ means to break or attack with the foot, ‘kwon’ means to break with the fist and ‘do’ translates as the art or way.
The practice is defined as a stand-up or striking martial art that includes some joint-lock maneuvers. Much like other martial arts, Taekwondo emphasises spiritual development, pushing students to strive for harmony and unity between their mind and body.
Today 70 million people practice taekwondo world-wide in 200 countries  and about 5 million of the taekwondo students are black belts.

Is Taekwondo the right Martial Arts for you?
Taekwondo is an excellent martial art for exercise, balance, focus, control, speed, power, timing, distance, flexibility, and fun (especially the jumping and spinning stuff). A lot of people train because they like the aesthetic and/or athletic parts and some because of the competitive aspect of the sport.
Taekwondo circles around intelligence and the right attitude. For this reason, you’re never too old to begin with Taekwondo. Taekwondo will help strengthen your core and your legs. Regardless of your age, your agility will improve along with your balance and coordination.
 
If you’re looking to improve yourself in every aspect of life then taekwondo is the right martial art for you. It is not just a sport but rather an art and a philosophy.
Individuals of all ages and abilities can take up Taekwondo. Beginners are always welcome.
