The London Taekwondo Academy (LTA) is a group member of the BTCB. The LTA was established in 1994 by Master Usman Dildar. Our program offers to teach you how to recognise and deal with situations in which self-defence may be required. We aim to bring out the positive qualities in our members and help them to develop patience, confidence, self-discipline, inner calm, and a consistently positive mental attitude to overcome fear and self-doubt.

To be successful in Taekwondo requires patience, self-discipline, and serious dedicated training. The LTA offers a carefully planned program teaching effective self-defence, strength development, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, and Olympic style fighting techniques, through a combination of mental and physical training.

The LTA holds squad training sessions every Sunday for experienced fighters. The academy regularly participates in national and international championships, in which we frequently win the first place overall team trophy.
