Welcome to TCTKD 

Hello! And a warm welcome to Thornton Cleveleys Taekwon-Do School established in 2011. We are an independent Taekwon-Do school based in the borough of Wyre in Northern Lancashire and are the only Taekwon-Do centre for miles around that practices the original 24 pattern version as devised by its founder, including the use of Korean terminology. Our Chief Instructor was awarded his black belt and ITF Instructor Certificate in 1987 by the father of UK Taekwon-Do,  Grandmaster Rhee Ki Ha FGMR, who was the first Grandmaster in the world to be promoted by the founder, General Choi Hong Hi, IX.

We will only appeal to those looking for a formal teaching system with a proper belt syllabus requiring regular attendance and commitment. If you want a cheap, casual, pay as you go facility unfortunately that's not us.

Classes for adults and older children are based in Thornton and Cleveleys  Additionally, we have a 4 belt, syllabus based Lil Dragons programme for 4-6 year olds  which is taught in Thornton on Sundays. We also offer opportunities for younger children to develop their leadership skills through our Junior Leader qualification. As of July 2023, we are currently doing a trial with local GP referral units which offers customers a chance to practice Ohnwahan or gentle Taekwon-Do in St Andrews Church Cleveleys on Friday afternoons at 2.00pm.

We do not believe in holding back students we consider to be outstanding, and in 2023 have launched a Gifted and Talented Programme to reflect this.

All of our members have unique and private 24 hour access to our syllabus via this website, where they can view technical videos of blocking techniques, patterns, kicks, and destruction techniques to help them prepare for gradings. Through our close partnerships with other TKD schools in London, all our students can also train there for free when visiting the area.

Finally, we have no intention of becoming a huge school, so our class sizes are small - enabling you or your child to get maximum teaching time. Below are some comments from parents and students. Please come and watch a session before making up your mind. We might be perfect for you, but in case we're not right for you we promise to be totally honest and let you know. Either way it will give you a better idea of what we offer and how we work.
