About
UKTC Taekwondo & Little Tiger Cubs, led by professional instructors, delivers top-tier Taekwondo training in Irvine, United Kingdom. With classes for children, teenagers, and adults, Alan Connan, the organiser, ensures Taekwondo is more than just self-defence—it’s a lifestyle enhancing fitness, personal growth, and well-being.
Alan emphasises core values in every session: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. These values help students become stronger, better individuals through respectful and positive interactions.
The school offers programmes for all ages and skill levels. For preschoolers aged 3 to 5, the Little Tiger Cubs Taekwondo programme makes learning fun with basic martial arts. Kids aged 5 to 8 can join the Active Tigers programme, a solid introduction to Taekwondo.
