Inclusion Commitment
Fostering an inclusive environment where individuals of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds are valued and supported.
Our Inclusion Commitment
Taekwondo Council United Kingdom (TCUK) is committed to creating a welcoming, safe and inclusive environment where individuals of all ages, abilities and backgrounds are valued, respected and supported.
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to participate in Taekwon-Do, whether through recreational training, personal development, gradings or competition.
We work with our affiliated organisations, clubs and instructors to promote equality, remove barriers to participation and support individuals with disabilities and additional needs.
Inclusion works closely with safeguarding to ensure the welfare and wellbeing of all participants. Visit our Safeguarding Page

TCUK Inclusion Workshops
We offer free Inclusion Workshops, open to all and available nationwide. A voluntary donation of £15 is recommended to help sustain these initiatives.
We encourage instructors and officials to attend an initial in-person workshop, followed by refresher training every three years.
For upcoming workshops, visit our Events Page.
Additional Training – BMABA
All TCUK instructor memberships include membership of the British Martial Arts & Boxing Association (BMABA).
Through BMABA, instructors can access additional training and professional development resources, including opportunities relating to inclusion, disability awareness and supporting participants with additional needs.
We encourage instructors to make use of these resources to further develop their knowledge and inclusive coaching practices.
Host an Inclusion Workshop
Clubs and affiliated organisations interested in arranging an in-house Inclusion Workshop can access support, funding and resources through TCUK.

We are committed to promoting respect, equality and opportunities for all participants to develop and achieve their potential.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to belong, participate and progress in Taekwon-Do.
Be part of shaping the future of Taekwondo in the UK.
I joined the ITC originally in 2019 and have had the pleasure of watching it grow into what is now the TCUK. I have had nothing but support and encouragement. At a time where I was learning how to be a completely new and independent association, TCUK offered me a massive life line, especially for policies and ensuring I had all the paperwork necessary in place. They are easy to contact and talk to about any issues or problems and always go the extra mile.
I am very proud to say I am a member of the TCUK and recognise them as our NGB.
