Welcome to the University of Kent Taekwondo Homepage!

UKC Taekwondo is a fun and exciting club for all people of any age or ability. We have a mixed group of black belts, complete beginners and intermediates. All you need is arms, legs and enthusiasm!

Taekwondo has something for everyone, from those who wish to compete seriously or improve their kicking ability to those who just want to get fit and have fun.  There is also a large amount of practical self defence, flexibility training and cardio/stamina training.  Along with a healthy dose of social activities UKC Taekwondo has a lot to offer.

We aim to compete in friendly competitions with other universities as well as at the annual BSTF University Championships.

Why Taekwondo?

If you wish to get in shape, lose weight or increase your stamina/cardio then Taekwondo is unbeatable.  High level kicking is possibly the best method of building both interval and overall stamina.

For martial artists of any backgrounds who wish to improve their kicking/striking ability - Taekwondo is perfect due to the nature of its distinctive and impressive array of kicks.  The high kicking standard of the art along with it’s completely ‘full contact’ nature makes a Taekwondo practitioner one of the best (if not the best) martial artist at striking with the foot.

Taekwondo is the most practiced martial art on the planet and is practiced in more countries by more athletes than any other martial art. It is also one of the newest martial arts but after its creation in the 1960s has risen to massive popularity and success, recently becoming an Olympic sport (one of only two martial arts currently represented in the Olympics).
