Beaconside Infants School has been home to Penrith TaeKwon-Do School since 2002, when its original and current instructor, Mr. Ian Rigg (4th Degree), formed the school. Since then Penrith TaeKwon-Do School has grown from strength to strength and today it has over 60 students enrolled in various stages of the program. All our instructors and assistant instructors are criminal background checked, fully insured, first aid trained, and nationally and internationally qualified. We are part of the United Kingdom TaeKwon-Do Federation (UKTF). The UKTF is one of the largest and fastest growing TaeKwon-Do organisations in the UK. This constant rise in numbers has been built on reputation alone. The UKTF are in constant communication with the rest of the world, keeping up to date in all technical and sporting affairs. It is because of this that they demonstrate the highest standard of TaeKwon-Do in the UK today. The UKTF has schools all across the UK and to ensure the highest quality of tuition is given to the students, the UKTF is run by a Board of Directors. Most of the UKTF senior instructors have been taught and examined by the late General Choi, the founder of Taekwon-Do himself, to ensure that their Taekwon-Do is of the highest standard. This experience is passed down through the many classes that are available to UKTF students. The UKTF encourage instructors and students to travel to gain knowledge and experience for the benefit of the UKTF. For those who cannot afford to travel, the UKTF provide seminars by prominent international instructors from other countries. We are affiliated to the International TaeKwon-Do Federation (ITF) and the All Europe Tae Kwon Do Federation (AETF). The International Tae Kwon Do Federation is the World Governing body for Tae Kwon Do. Founded by General Choi, its headquarters are in Vienna, Austria . The ITF is divided into continental bodies. The All Europe Tae Kwon Do Federation is responsible for European Events.
