A club built on four decades of experience
Master Chris Beanland began teaching Taekwon-Do in 1982 and founded Beanland Taekwon-Do in 2013. Over more than forty years he has built not only strong martial artists but confident, disciplined people. Some of our students have gone on to become World and European Champions; others have gained something just as valuable: lifelong fitness, confidence, resilience and friendships.
Our training is structured and traditional, rooted in discipline, respect and personal development. Classes cover every part of ITF Taekwon-Do, including self-defence, sparring, patterns and breaking, in a safe and supportive environment.
