Do something different - Do Tae Kwon Do!

Taekwondo is a great way to stay in shape as well as have fun.

We have a range of clubs and classes around the greater London area to hopefully accommodate you. Master Lawrence has also conducted a number of one off self-defence classes at company wellness days.

With the cold days and dark nights Taekwondo is a great way to keep energised!

Once you start training you may have a few aches and remember muscles that you haven't used in ages, but once you get into it you'll feel great. Training isn't expensive when you compare it to gym membership and you have a class around you so it's much more fun. You don't have to sign a contract, you can try a class to see if you like it. Don't be shy - give it a try!

This was the 3rd year that Master Lawrence took a team of LLTKD students to the Universum Taekwondo Summer Taekwondo Training Camp. As ever, the camp was enjoyed by all. This year, additional teams from Austria and Greece were in attendance as well as a large contingent of UK university students and Hungarians. The camp is an excellent opportunity for students of Taekwondo to have 7 days of training morning, noon and night and to practice with over 100 other students.

It's not all hard work though, Budapest is a very economical city to visit and benefits from the thermal bathes in the city. Something gladly welcomed in the 35 degrees heat!

Back row: Master Lawrence, Andrew, Master Patakfálvy, Master Támas, Master Suh.
Middle row: Mike, Lee, Sean, Grand, Michaela, James, Kerry, Lindsey.
Front row: Rob, Ed, Evans, Kavita, Op.

Kingston University Colours Sports Dinner and Awards

KUTKD did unexpectedly and exceptionally well at the 2009 Colours Awards Dinner held at Twickenham rugby club on 27th March. All 20+ club members who were at the ball were delighted to see the club receive recognition for all the hard work and effort that the students have put in. Let's see if we can repeat the success next year.

Kingston University Taekwondo came away with awards for:

• Club of the Year - for all the medals won from the competitions attended. We managed to beat off the traditional clubs such as rugby, football, netball and hockey to win!
  
• Coach of the Year - for Master Lawrence (and it's about time too!).
  
• Full Colours - Anthony Ofori - for all his hard work in building the club and his successes in competitions.
  
• Half Colours - Michael Nathan-Pepple & Koushk aka Ryan - for their help and support in running the club over the last year, and competition successes.
