Welcome!
The purpose of NBTKDA.com is to provide up to date reference material for students at the dojang as well as anyone with an interest in Kukkiwon / WT Taekwondo. While some of your terminology may differ from what we use at NB TKD Academy I have done my best to make everything as up to date as possible, providing not only the English technique names but also Hangul and its approximate pronunciation.
Thank you for visiting!
Information on schedule alterations, tournaments, belt tests, seminars and training camps is always announced via the club’s Instagram & Facebook pages. Please note that you do not need social media accounts to access this information!
