February 2012

The new website is live.  We hope you like the new look and feel to the site.  We will be updating this section with news much more frequently than with the old site and we will also be using newer technology to make the site more interactive and more enjoyable for you.  Ultimately though .. get into the Dojang and enjoy your training.

Equipment Required

To Start

To start training you just need loose sports clothing.  And that's it.


To Continue Training

It is best to buy a Beginners Pack.  In that pack you will get:

  • Colour BUTF Leaflet
  • About Taekwon Do leaflet
  • BUTF & Club Rulebook
  • 10th Kup Syllabus
  • 10th Kup DVD
  • BUTF membership
  • BUTF Licence
  • Official BUTF Suit with belt
  • Insurance cover
  • Lapel Badge
  • Car sticker
  • Bag sticker
  • Membership to the Taekwon Do School
  • Club membership card
  • One month’s training.

That is everything you need to start training.

On Going Training

When the time is right then you will need to buy sparring equipment.  This can be bought from your instructor.  The prices are reasonable so there is not a great deal of advantage in buying over the internet.  The risk of buying over the internet is that you can end up with things that are not officially approved for use in competitions.  It is always best that you get the right things.

The only other things that you might have to buy are:

  • Protective Sparring Gear
  • Renewal licence - every year.
  • Tournament Entry Fees
  • Grading Fees.
