Q1. I started Taekwondo when I was 11 years old and I am now 15. I was looking for an activity/sport to try outside of school.

I enjoyed it so much that I went for a trial lesson at SCTKD and am still training 4 years later.

Lets hear from Matthew Reeves, about his journey to the World Championships in Poland 🇵🇱

Q1. How old were you when you started Taekwon-Do, and what made you give it a try?

I was 36 and had just come out of lockdown. My son was watching martial arts videos online and decided he wanted to give Taekwon-Do a try.

At SCTKD, an adult can train for free alongside their child, so I initially only intended to join for a couple of sessions to help my son get up and running. But I quickly caught the bug and never looked back!

My daughter started about six months later. I’m now a 2nd Degree Black Belt, and both of my children are 1st Degree Black Belts. What started as something I did to support my son has become a huge part of all our lives.

Q2. What do you enjoy most about being part of the club?

The family feel and camaraderie. Everyone supports and encourages each other, regardless of age or ability.

I also love the structure and variety of what we learn each week, and the high level of knowledge and experience our instructor passes on to us. There is always something new to learn and another goal to work towards.

Q3. What did it feel like representing your country at the World Championships?

This was my 30th competition and my 20th as a Black Belt. I had competed abroad three times before, representing my club and association, but representing my country was something completely different.

It was a huge honour and easily the highlight of my Taekwon-Do journey so far. Standing there representing Great Britain was a very proud moment and something I’ll never forget.

Q4. What has Taekwon-Do given you outside of winning medals?

Friendship, fitness and improved flexibility, but so much more than that.

Most importantly, it has given me the opportunity to have a hobby that I can share with my children. Training and competing together has created so many memories for us, and that has been amazing.

Q5. What would you say to someone who is thinking about trying?

Just give it a go!

Taekwon-Do really is something you can start at any age, and it’s extremely inclusive. It’s a great way to make friends, get fit and learn something new.

It’s also a great way to spend an hour away from the pressures of everyday life — whether that’s school, work or family commitments — and just focus on yourself, learn something new and have fun.

And, if I’m honest, there’s something quite therapeutic about kicking and punching a big pad — especially after a stressful day!

Mr Simon Booth

🥈sparring

Mr Booth is a long standing member of GTUK England Squad, and we celebrate him today especially as he turns 40!!
Happy Birthday Mr Booth

Q1. ⁠How old were you when you started Taekwon‑Do, and what made you give it a try?

A1. I was 19 at university, I was having trouble with with my coordination and dyslexia that was being made worse by the stress of uni, and a housemate invited me along as she didn't want to be getting the train to classes late at night alone. I'd previously done other martial arts and found it helped me a lot with those issues.

Q2. What do you enjoy most about being part of the club?

A2. The atmosphere and attitude of the club, everone is friendly, supportive and wants each other to improve, but without pressure or judgement. And the results show in the quality and improvement of the clubs students.

Q3. What did it feel like representing your country at the World Championships?

A3. Very proud and quite nerve-wracking! It's ts given me a motivation to raise my game, to improve myself and support others in doing the same to reach their potential.

Q4. What has Taekwon‑Do given you outside of winning medals?

A4. More than I could possibly list here! As well as helping with the dyslexia and coordination issues, its allowed me to meet some amazing people, to learn teaching and coaching skills that have helped my career, and to travel to places I'd never have thought of.

Q5. What would you say to someone who is thinking about trying?

A5. If you're thinking of trying you're 80% of the way there- and the nervousness and fear of the unknown thats making you hesitate on that 20% step is what TKD will help you with the most.

🏆World Championships Competitor Highlight🏆
Armaan Rahman
🥈Silver patterns🥈Silver sparring🥉special techniques

Armaan began training with us around 2 years ago, returning to tae kwon do after a break from the sport. He has become a real staple member of the club.
We also wish him all the best with his upcoming 3rd degree grading in November.

Q1. ⁠How old were you when you started Taekwon‑Do, and what made you give it a try?

I started Taekwondo at around 11 - our school was about 5 miles away and my mum worked as a nurse, so looked locally for sport clubs and activities. I started with my older brother and younger sister - we all got our black belts in 2006 before moving away from my original club in the south to Leeds.

Q2. What do you enjoy most about being part of the club?

I’ve been at SCTKD for less than two years, but it seems like much longer. I remember my first session and Miss saying ‘give it a try, I won’t be offended if it’s not for you’. Needless to say, the club has been amazing ever since and we are such a close-knit group, all supporting each other inside and outside of the dojang.

Q3. What did it feel like representing your country at the World Championships?

To represent your country at any sport is an honour and privilege, but to do so with the GB squad and with the support of our association and coaches made it even more special. The atmosphere and whole experience will stay with me for a long time.

Q4. What has Taekwon‑Do given you outside of winning medals?

Grit, resilience, determination - I failed my black belt grading at the first attempt, even before I sat my GCSEs and it taught me that getting back up again is part of life. Failure isn’t the end, getting back up and going again can lead you to great things.

It has also taught me how to conduct myself in my every day life, respecting and treating everyone with courtesy and respect.

Q5. What would you say to someone who is thinking about trying?

Come and give it a go. At any age group and ability, our classes are so welcoming and we really do build that family feeling and sense of care.
