national taekwondo club - derby
National Taekwondo Club (NTC) was established more than five decades ago by
Master Hetherington, making it officially the UK’s longest-serving Taekwondo
Club. In addition to Derby, we have three branches in Nottingham (Nottingham
Central, Arnold and OMAC-UK in Gedling), Coventry, Liverpool, London, and
Rotherham. National Taekwondo Club – Derby (NTC Derby) is a non for profit
organisation whose objectives are: Taekwondo Promotion The advancement of the
sport by promoting the game of Taekwondo for the benefits of the residents of
Derby and its environs. Life Improvement The provision of facilities for the
learning, teaching, and playing of Taekwondo for the benefits of the residents
of Derby and its environs with object of improving the condition of life. Many
Taekwondo instructors will tell you that Taekwondo is an Olympic sport, which is
true, but not all will tell you that we are the only Taekwondo Club in the city
of Derby that practices Olympic Taekwondo as developed and practiced in South
Korea and the only group that is a full member of the official national
governing body for Olympic Taekwondo, and that is British Taekwondo which’s
functions include responsibility for the selection of National Teams to compete
at International and Olympic level. We have trained British and European
champions. We have also had a number of students selected to train with and
represent Great Britain. We also have dedicated children’s classes throughout
the week at school venues across the UK.
