Taekwondo Performance

As a highly technical and physically demanding sport, keeping athletes on the mats, recovering well and continually improving technique and tactical strategies are all critical to the GB Taekwondo World Class Performance Programme.

UKSI practitioners work closely with athletes and coaches at sports’ Manchester training base, as well as in training, camps and competitions around the world. The UK Sport/UKSI Performance Pathway team has also worked to develop GB Taekwondo’s pathways, including the Fighting Chance initiative which successfully integrated several Olympic medal winning athletes into the programme.

GB Taekwondo integrate a breadth of services through the UK Sports Institute, from Strength & Conditioning and Physiotherapy keeping athletes on the mats performing optimally, Performance Analysis providing detailed performance data and real-time feedback to inform technique and tactical strategies, to Performance Lifestyle coordinating ongoing learning for athletes whilst training for example.
