WELCOME TO LEEDS TKD

About Leeds-TKD

T-UK Leeds club was started in 2017 by it's current instructor Master Ian Ridley VII Degree, Miss Anna Reed II Degree and Mr Lewis Hale I Degree, after moving to the north having run successful clubs in the midlands.

Miss Reed and Mr Hale have since moved away from Leeds and Miss Emma Ridley (Second Degree) and Mr Adam Ridley (First Degree) now assist at the club.

Leeds TKD focuses on traditional Taekwon-Do, as created by The Founder General Choi Hong Hi. Most importantly, it produces courteous and respectful people that adhere to the tenets of Taekwon-Do and it has a great family/team spirit.

Who can do Taekwon-Do ?

Taekwon Do is suitable for men, women and children of all levels of fitness. If you visit Leeds TKD you will see people of both sexes from different generations training together. In particular, it is wonderful to see the amount of children that take up martial arts and in a number of cases with their parents learning, bonding and growing together.

The first advantage of a well run club is the respect and self-discipline it teaches the students, especially children. We all love to think that our children are well behaved but it easy to come under the wrong influences in life and Taekwon-Do is an excellent way to counteract this.

Taekwon-Do will help you feel more self-confident and have a strong mental attitude and is what sets it apart from many other types of sport. Participants will be focused and competitive in life as the grading system that’s in place helps them to stay motivated and see advancement and improvement.
