MANY PHYSICAL BENEFITS
Tae Kwon-Do offers a myriad of physical advantages. Primarily, it enhances cardiovascular well-being, endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility. Additionally, it equips individuals with practical self-defence techniques including impactful kicks, precise punches, and effective blocking strategies, empowering women with the tools to safeguard themselves when necessary.

THE TAGB
The TAGB (Tae Kwon-Do Association of Great Britain) is the largest governing body for Tae Kwon-Do in the UK. Founded in 1983 with the goal of promoting and facilitating Tae Kwon-Do across Great Britain, the TAGB has grown to become the largest and most successful Tae Kwon-Do practicing organisation in Britain, with more than 25,000 members and 600 schools nationwide.
The TAGB implements standards, training and certification for Tae Kwon-Do practitioners and schools under their organisation.
The TAGB is not concerned with its own development. That is why it has played a leading role in the reunification of British Tae Kwon-Do into one body. In 1988, the TAGB helped found the British Tae Kwon-Do Council (BTC), this being the only governing body of Tae Kwon-Do to be recognised by the Sports Council and Sport England.
Instructors and schools must meet the TAGB's criteria to gain and maintain membership status. This includes having qualified instructors, implementing the TAGB training syllabus, holding the required insurance, and following codes of conduct and safeguarding policies. Membership provides accreditation along with access to TAGB programs, events, seminars and competitions. TAGB membership ensures the highest quality, accredited Tae Kwon-Do education to students.
The TAGB facilitates Tae Kwon-Do development through regional and national competitions. They also organise camps, workshops and gradings. The organisation strives to make Tae Kwon-Do completely inclusive and accessible with programmes for people with disabilities and other underrepresented groups.
Overall, the TAGB governs and nurtures Tae Kwon-Do across Britain from beginner to elite levels and their standardised structure and curriculum allows for consistent Tae Kwon-Do training nationwide.
