National Taekwondo Club: Eight Athletes, One Club, One Goal — Representing Great Britain on the International Stage

2026 is shaping up to be a huge year for National Taekwondo Club, with eight NTC athletes selected to represent Great Britain across two major international championships.

This is an incredible achievement for our athletes, coaches, families and the entire NTC community.

These selections represent far more than eight individual athletes. They represent the hard work of their coaches, training partners, parents and everyone who contributes to the NTC environment.

Every international athlete starts somewhere. The journey is built through hard work, consistency, discipline and a willingness to keep improving.

We couldn't be prouder of all eight athletes and the opportunity they now have to wear the Great Britain dobok and represent their country.

One Club. One Standard. One Journey.
