Leith TKD
Leith TaeKwon-Do was established in 1991 by Mr John McKissock (V Degree) and is well established in the Edinburgh Martial Arts community. In 2003, when Mr McKissock moved to Spain, where he is now the Technical Director for the Spanish ITF, the running of the club was taken over by Mr Robin Coltman (III Degree).
The Club is affiliated to the United Kingdom TaeKwon-Do Federation (UKTF) with whom Mr Coltman is acredited as an Instructor. We regularly attend national competitions with many of our members being current UKTF medalists. The style of TaeKwon-Do taught at Leith is ITF, as taught by Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi 9th Degree (Pictured).
Leith TaeKwon-Do is a fairly small club where the emphasis is on creating a fun and friendly environment where like minded people can meet to learn and practice martial arts and inparticular ITF TaeKwon-Do.
This site has been designed to give those who are considering begining training in a martial art an idea of what to expect from it and also the principles of TaeKwon-Do. It is also meant as a guide and reference point for continuing taeKwon-Do students everywhere.
