CHUNGDOKWAN
Authentic Korean Taekwondo
JINMOOKWAN TAEKWONDO PRESTON
Taekwondo & Hapkido
We teach students in the Korean Martial Art of Taekwondo and Hapkido here in the villages of Hutton and Longton, Preston using the Chung Do Kwan principles that were created by Grandmaster Won Kuk Lee in 1944. Taekwondo is the most popular and most practiced style of Martial Art in the world and the Chung Do Kwan was the first-ever school of Taekwondo and is the largest of the original and traditional schools.
The Chungdokwan came before the Kukkiwon, World Taekwondo or the International Taekwondo Federation, and the headquarters are still based in Seoul, South Korea were they coordinate the global affairs of the federation and issue the prestigious Chungdokwan Black Belt certificate.

We have fully qualified Black Belts on hand to help whenever needed and all of our instructors hold formal Level 5 Ofqual accredited teaching qualifications, first aid qualifications, and enhanced DBS certificates. We are not a school that is concerned with ego or belt chasing, we simply aim to promote authentic Korean Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo to our members to give them a path or structure upon which to base themselves.
