THE
GLASGOW SOUTH & RUTHERGLEN TAEKWONDO SCHOOL
WAS
ESTABLISHED OVER 15 YEARS AGO IN THE BURGH HALLS
IN RUTHERGLEN. MANY
STUDENTS HAVE QUALIFIED AS
W.T.F RECOGNISED BLACK BELTS OF VARIOUS DEGREES AND
REGISTERED WITH THE KUKKIWON IN KOREA.
SOME HAVE WENT ON TO OPEN OTHER SCHOOLS IN THE
GLASGOW AREA AND TO FURTHER DEVELOP TAEKWONDO IN SCOTLAND.
DURING
THE FIRST FEW YEARS WHEN TAEKWONDO WAS
VIRTUALLY UNHEARD OF, THE CLUB MANAGED TO EXIST WITH LESS THAN A DOZEN STUDENTS,
BUT THE W.T.F. SYSTEM OF TAEKWONDO IS THE FASTEST GROWING MARTIAL ART IN THE
WORLD, AND NOW WITH A REGISTRATION OF OVER 90 STUDENTS; THE CLUB HAS BECOME
THE LARGEST W.T.F. RECOGNISED SCHOOL IN GLASGOW, AND ONE OF THE LARGEST IN
SCOTLAND.
WE ARE PART OF A NETWORK OF TAEKWONDO SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE UK. THAT
MAKES UP THE BRITISH TAEKWONDO CONTROL BOARD; THE ONLY BRITISH TAEKWONDO BODY
RECOGNISED BY THE BRITISH OLYMPIC ASSOCIATION AND
THE WORLD TAEKWONDO FEDERATION.
 AS
WELL AS REGULAR CLASSES IN TAEKWONDO,
WHICH INCORPORATES DIFFERENT ELEMENTS SUCH AS;
SELF DEFENCE, TRADITIONAL MARTIAL ART TRAINING, SPORT AND
COMPETITION
TRAINING. THE STUDENTS HAVE
NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES TO:-
GAIN PROMOTION AT GRADINGS
CONDUCTED BY A
NATIONALLY APPOINTED EXAMINER, AND ATTAIN
BLACK BELT LEVEL AWARDED BY A PANEL OF
INTERNATIONAL EXAMINERS, ATTEND ANNUAL
SEMINARS FROM WORLD FAMOUS MASTERS SUCH AS
SOO NAM PARK AND SANG HWAN KIM,
AND COMPETE IN MANY TOP COMPETITIONS.
STUDENTS
FROM THE CLUB HAVE REPRESENTED SCOTLAND AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL AT HOME AND
