North East Open Championships 1600

Our Kyorugi came together in County Durham to compete at the 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 on Sunday, hosted by Ultimate Taekwondo

The event saw over 250 athletes take to the mats and showcased the very best of our sport, with outstanding competition throughout the day in the north east.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who made the day such a success, these events are the heartbeat of grassroots Taekwondo in the UK

Our photography partner RISE Portraits were on hand to capture the action in Urmston, and you can see even more of their stunning snaps on their event gallery below.

With even more club events scheduled throughout the year, 2026 promises to be a huge 12 months for British Taekwondo, with even more chances for you to get involved and compete on the highest stage. Click here to see the 2026 Event Calendar
