The Only Club in Derby Recognised by British Taekwondo
The UK’s Longest Serving Taekwondo Club
In Diverse, Inclusive, and Stimulating Environment
WHY TAEKWONDO
The self-discipline that develops as a result of learning and practicing the techniques usually carries over into other areas of the child’s life. School grades often improve as your child learns to focus on objectives and to work toward achievement. The self-discipline and self-respect which Taekwondo develops can provide your child with the skills and mindset necessary to resist peer pressure.
Meditation techniques can be used to peel away stress and frustrations, reduce anxieties and increase your ability to deal with any situation. Stress, when allowed to get out of control (or handled poorly) can be the cause of diseases like high blood pressure or ulcers. You will learn techniques to control stress and build a quiet place in your mind and body, so that you can take the worst that life can throw at you and come away a winner.
Meditation can allow you to control your habits for example; quit smoking, overeating, or excess alcohol consumption. Meditation will also enable you to think clearer, bring out your natural creativity, and much more.
Learn to defend yourself. Not only physically, but mentally as well. Learn to unite your body in a single effort to achieve your goals. Develop an inner calm. Bring up deep-rooted, long hidden fears and weaknesses, face them, and conquer them. Bring out anger and frustration in a positive environment where you can learn to deal with them effectively. Rise above laziness and inner doubt.

Our coaches are highly qualified and experienced instructors, registered with British Taekwondo, the national governing body for WT Taekwondo in the UK, are fully insured as well as checked through the DBS system, first aid, and safeguarding trained. We have also a dedicated welfare officer, trained on safeguarding, and work directly with British taekwondo to make sure that we abide with our safeguarding policy.

OUR CLUB MEMBERS SAY
Noreen Aslam
My daughter has been going to the NTC club in Derby for over 1 year and her confidence has increased, she absolutely loves going to the club each week!
As a parent I find Samer always goes the extra step for all our kids, motivating them, encouraging them & challenging them bringing the best out in them! It’s a family atmosphere where everyone is really welcomed.
Pascale Case-Baugh
My son joined NTC Derby almost two years ago. In joining the club my son has been taught a set of values which he can apply in everyday situations. The sessions are always fun and well structured. Lockdown has been difficult for all but Samer has ensured that the children remain active, also helping parents to best support their children in during this time. The clubs holistic approach has helped my son deal with anxiety and improved his self confidence immensely.
Cheryl
Deciding that my children would join NTC Derby has to be the best parenting decision I have made. I cannot emphasize enough how incredibly beneficial these classes are; not just for physical fitness or learning the taekwondo moves (although this is a great benefit in itself), but for the life skills they are acquiring. The tenets they memorise are implemented beautifully during class, and as each week goes by I can see improvements in their listening skills, showing respect to others (as well as themselves), and their willingness to try challenging tasks.
