About UKTC Taekwondo North Shields

UKTC Taekwondo runs classes at The Parks Sports Centre on Howdon Road in North Shields (NE29 6TL), part of the United Kingdom Taekwondo Council network and within easy reach of Tynemouth. Its main Taekwondo classes are open to children from age five, teenagers and adults, both male and female, and are designed to build fitness, coordination and self-confidence through a structured, belt-based grading system.

For the youngest members there are Little Tiger Cubs sessions aimed at ages three to five, using fun, engaging exercises loosely based on the movements and discipline of taekwondo to get small children used to the class environment. Being run from a council leisure centre rather than a private gym keeps the classes affordable and accessible, and taster sessions let families see whether the kick-heavy, disciplined style of taekwondo suits their child before they commit.
