What is Taekwon-Do ?

Taekwon-do is a martial art that originated in Korea and is based on scientific principles. A translation into English means Foot Fist Art, therefore Taekwon-Do is the application of these principles against an attacker either armed or unarmed.

Taekwon-do has many sides to it and has something for everyone of all abilities and ages.  Many people join to become fitter and slimmer only to find out there is so much more.  Parents bring their children to combat bullying and find that there is great confidence building within the classes; dyspraxic children find great help in their coordination and balance, social skills and interaction for children with aspergers,ADHD is often helped by the discipline and etiquette, confidence and self assurance, can be enhanced. None of these benefits are achieved overnight but by hard work and dedication from student and Instructor.

Who is Ultimate Taekwon-Do?

Master David Brown 7^th Dan has been training and learning martial arts for nearly 30 years, he has trained under Grand Master Park Jung Tae, General Choi, Grand Master Choi Jung Hwa, Master Les Hutchison, Master Sheena Sutherland, Master Per Andresen to name but a few.

In 1991 he opened his first club in the Mariner centre Falkirk that is still going strong today and has grown to a true centre of martial excellence.  Under his guidance many ordinary people have gained their Black Belt.  Some have even gone on to open their own clubs to continue the growth of Ultimate Taekwon-Do, something that all these Instructors have found to be immensely satisfying.  There are now many clubs that operate under the Ultimate Taekwon-do standard.

There is a vibrant competition side to Ultimate TKD with the opportunity to compete at local levels or at the highest level in international competitions. 

Master Brown has coached World and European Champion teams and individuals over many years.  To achieve this not only takes dedication and commitment from the competitors themselves but a real ability to coach, inspire, and motivate athletes to train to this level.  Master Brown not only has this skill but the technical knowledge to have his competitors acknowledged world wide for their technical excellence. Under his guidance even non-competitors find they can discover new abilities and push themselves further mentally than they would ever have thought possible.

Above all Ultimate TKD is about taking the ordinary person and developing what is already inside into an extraordinary Martial Artist. Many students have come to us thinking because of physical or mental difficulties they could not participate only to find out they can develop in ways never imagined.

Lastly and just as important is the social side to Ultimate Taekwon-do with many lifelong friends being made (even a few lifelong partners)
