For the attention of Lead Instructors at British Taekwondo member clubs.

Dear Instructor,

Following the announcement at the beginning of the year of a restructure of our membership fees model, we received feedback on the changes from a cross section of our family of clubs and instructors.

British Taekwondo’s membership structure has remained relatively unchanged for decades and needs to be updated to reflect the modern needs of our community, clubs, members and an organisation that wants to be and do so much more for its customers.

We have listened and acted.

To help us get this model right, so we can all develop together, an interim membership pricing structure will take effect from 1st June 2024. This gives clubs and members good notice and certainty.

From the 1st June the cost of British Taekwondo membership will be:

  • Member (all ages) £29
  • Instructor (with / without Level 2) £70 / £90 (no change)
  • Club Affiliation £15

This interim model is an incremental increase to standard membership and club affiliation fees. With no change to the existing instructor membership pricing.

In the coming months, we will continue to improve our core office services with upgrades to our phone and IT systems, including an updated membership hub system due later this year designed to serve all club needs.

We will also take a hard look at the membership models, alongside introducing new learning and membership models for Taekwondo in schools and introductory classes in clubs.

As the national governing body, World Taekwondo’s MNA of the year no less!………..British Taekwondo is a not-for-profit member organisation, here for our members – affiliated clubs, instructors, and your club members.

Your membership of British Taekwondo enables us to deliver the full range of national governing body services for everyone.

We invest your membership fees back into the organisation to support you and Taekwondo through our ongoing work to promote it, develop and deliver programmes, and develop the people, clubs and places to do Taekwondo.

British Taekwondo membership allows us to protect our members and give peace of mind to clubs, instructors, members, parents and all involved that British Taekwondo clubs and events are safe, welcoming places.

Being a part of British Taekwondo means that you are part of a positive, forward thinking, nationwide community.

We look forward to working with, listening to, and speaking to our member instructors and clubs to help them grow and thrive over the coming months and years.

Thank you for your continued support.

On behalf of the board.

Ian Leafe

Chief Executive Officer
