About
Preston Tae Kwon Do at West View Leisure Centre is a martial arts school located in Preston, Lancashire, in the North West of England. The school specialises in teaching the traditional Korean ITF Ch'ang Hon style of Tae Kwon Do, following the teachings of General Choi Hong Hi, the founder of Tae Kwon Do.
The senior instructor, Karen, has an impressive 40 years of experience in Tae Kwon Do, self-defence, and martial arts. With certifications from the Tae Kwon Do Association of Great Britain (TAGB), including Dan grades, Instructors certificate, and Umpires certificates, she is well-qualified to lead the school. Karen also holds international Black Belt certification, further highlighting her expertise in the field.
One of the hallmarks of Preston Tae Kwon Do is its commitment to professionalism and approachability. The instructors at the school are not only highly qualified but also go through regular continuing professional development (CPD) to ensure they provide the highest quality instruction. They are DBS cleared, fully insured, and trained in First Aid. The emphasis is on quality instruction rather than quantity, as the instructors believe that simply having a Black Belt does not automatically make someone a good instructor.
The school offers a pay-per-session model, meaning there are no pressure contracts. Family discounts are available for all sessions, licences, and gradings, making it accessible to everyone. The classes cater to students of all abilities and ages, ranging from 4 to 70+ years old. Inclusive training is provided, with a focus on disabled athletes and students with health issues.
Preston Tae Kwon Do believes in providing access for all, aiming to create a progressive learning system that benefits everyone.
For children aged 4 and above, the school provides a structured and fun learning environment. The syllabus sets attainable goals and teaches valuable life skills. Additionally, there is a 'Cadetship' programme available, offering training on First Aid skills, Anti-bullying, Drug Awareness, and Stranger Danger.
Preston Tae Kwon Do encourages all its students to aim high and provides opportunities for national and international competition. For those interested, there is also a pathway to becoming an instructor within the school. The focus is on empowering individuals and enabling them to reach their full potential in Tae Kwon Do.
