ASTON TKD is a University based club which has been running since 2001 and has gone from strength to strength each year and is one of the biggest martial arts groups at Aston. So what is this Taekwon-do I hear you ask?!

WHAT IS TAEKWON-DO?

Taekwon-do (TKD) is a Korean martial art, which is not only an effective weapon-less art of self defence but a competitive sport and a method of maintaining all round fitness.

TKD is famous not only for its highly skilled leg techniques but for its speed and tremendous power as seen in demonstrations (check out the pictures and videos in our Gallery!) These are only a few aspects of this increasingly popular form of self defence, many skills are taught physically and mentally to make this the ultimate in unarmed self defence.

TKD has no barriers to either sex, physique. All are welcome. Also, by joining our Association, you enter a new aspect of life. Your health, confidence, strength agility and self control are greatly improved and as you become more proficient, you need not fear of attack.
