Grandmaster Davies was one of the founding members of the UK Taekwondo Development Council (UKTDC) and remains as its Secretary General and Executive Director. We fought for a number of years to break a monopoly situation and to become members of The National Governing Body which is the British Taekwondo Council (BTC). After this was achieved Grandmaster Davies represented the UKTDC for the whole time on the BTC Membership Committee. This has now changed where Grandmaster Davies has as of 1st April been appointed as one of the directors of the BTC and will sit on the management committee, his previous position on the Membership Committee is now being undertaken by Grandmaster Nigel Hudson. The previous Directors will remain on the Management Committee for a number of months to enable a smooth transition.
The event is very competitively priced and following 2 years of restrictions, and in the current financial climate, it is now time to reinvigorate the Taekwondo community with this high class seminar.
The presenters hold 8/7/7 Dan certification with Kukkiwon and 9/8/9 Dan with World Chungdokwan and between them have over 110 years of collective Taekwondo knowledge, definitely not to be missed

On Wednesday 24th August Bristol Taekwondo opened a new class in Redcliffe Bay Hall, Portishead BS20 8LH. Despite it being a holiday period and close to a Bank Holiday weekend a small group of adults and children from the Portishead Hong Kong community did turn up for the opening evening. Everyone enjoyed the lesson and we hope that the class will gain more students over the following weeks..
