Our Structure

GB Taekwondo is the trading name of Sport Taekwondo UK Ltd, a company incorporated in 2002 to create and implement a high-performance pathway, the ultimate goal of which is to optimise the performance of taekwondo athletes in the Olympic (and since Paralympic) Games and other major international competition.

GB Taekwondo is a company limited by guarantee, led by a Board (who are the company members) and operated by an executive team, from the National Taekwondo Centre, Ten Acres Lane, Manchester M40 2SP.

The organisation is primarily resourced by Lottery and Exchequer grant funding.
