Unified Taekwon-Do
Association
The U.T.A was founded in January 2003 the founder members being
Instructors from the Hitchin Taekwon-do School.
The U.T.A is a totally non profit making organisation and is solely for
the benefit of the Instructor and student members.
Although we are not elaborate and recognise that we do not have a large
and flamboyant web site we do conduct the day to day running of the UTA
in a professional manner.
All of the Instructors in the UTA have attended an Instructors course
recognised by the British Taekwon-do Council. The BTC is the only
recognised Taekwon-do body in the UK. You will find a list of
Instructors on the BTC website,
www.tkdcouncil.com
The UTA are working in partnership which in turn is affiliated to the
International Taekwon-do Federation. This gives the UTA the ability to
issue Internationally recognised coloured belt and black belt grading
certificates.
All UTA Instructors have undergone an enhanced criminal records bureau
check to give parents and carers peace of mind when teaching children
and vulnerable adults. The UTA has its own child protection policy and
also abide by the BTC child protection policy.
We take pride in giving our students well run competitions and seminars
with our own Instructors and also inviting Master Instructors from other
groups and associations.
We have regular squad training sessions and are one of the few
organizations that have black belt only training sessions every week.
Having evaluated the fee structure of other organisations within the UK
the UTA is one of the most value for money regarding all fees.
All of the UTA schools only charge a monthly training fee with no extra
hidden costs. The UTA membership and the coloured belt gradings are
included giving you a saving of around £125.00 per year minimum. All
the UTA schools have a family discount scheme and are flexible regarding
special arrangements.
The seminars, courses and competition fees are kept to a minimum and the
only profit the UTA make is for administrational and running costs.
The UTA committee are elected every year at the AGM and any UTA
Instructor member can apply for a position on the committee. We believe
that accountability is a very important aspect of running any
organisation. The present Chairman of the UTA is Mr Glenn Horan who is a
5th Degree Black belt International Instructor and grading examiner. He
has attended many Instructors courses conducted by the late Grand Master
General Choi Hong Hi the founder of Taekwon-do. This gives the advantage
of being able to teach authentic Taekwon-do but at the same time
teaching the modern views and opinions of new Instructors, Masters and
Grand Masters.
All of the UTA committee members are totally voluntary.
A partner with the Imperial
Taekwon-Do Association since 2007.
