About Banbury TKD
Learn how to build a stronger you
At Banbury TKD we teach the ITF style of Tae Kwon-do using the TAGB (Tae Kwon-do Association of Great Britain) syllabus. This has been well thought-out and structured to build your martial arts skills.
The Club is run by ex-RAF pilot, Mark Robson, 4th Degree Black Belt. He is a fully qualified instructor who has been teaching Tae Kwon-do since 2012, and he has over 20 years of teaching experience as both a flying instructor and as a creative writing teacher (an obvious mix, of course!)
He is assisted by an excellent team of black belts who are all keen to make Banbury TKD the best martial arts club in the area. The Club has a friendly, diverse and growing membership, but we very much like to think of ourselves as a Tae Kwon-do family.
