Help needed from member clubs for a new Taekwondo Health & Fitness programme pilot.

Member request – help needed for new Taekwondo Health & Fitness programme.

British Taekwondo is in the process of developing a new Taekwondo Health & Fitness programme and needs help from member clubs and coaches.

We are very happy to share that we are collaborating with a British Taekwondo coach with a background in exercise prescription and The British Wheel of Yoga to help support and develop a unique offering for our members and the community. We feel extremely excited about the future of this new offering and the more clubs we have involved in this programme pilot, the better.

About the Taekwondo Health & Fitness programme pilot

Amy Shanahan, Club Products Development Officer said “The aim of our new Taekwondo Health & Fitness programme is to provide a unique and different offering to clubs and communities, with sessions that are easy to plan and deliver. As part of this programme, we are turning Taekwondo into fitness, with a huge emphasis on general mental and physical wellbeing. We aim to create an open, fun, and safe space, where individuals can work up a sweat, make new friends and really take the time to concentrate and work on themselves. We are also bringing elements of sports-specific yoga, mindfulness, and meditation into these sessions, and are working with external stakeholders, including a British Taekwondo coach and a British Wheel of Yoga teacher and yoga sports specialist, to ensure it fits into the sessions nicely.”

Dafydd Rowlands, Development Manager said “We feel that bringing external stakeholders into the creation and development of new products and services is hugely important, to help us drive and deliver exceptional programmes that are fit for purpose and meet the needs and wants of internal and external stakeholders. This is a brand new and exciting programme that we want you to be a part of, and the more clubs we have sign up, the better! This will also provide us with an opportunity to discuss potential additional resources and products for clubs to purchase to support its delivery, along with the official name of the new programme too.”
