Welcome
"Tae Kwon Do is not the property of one nation, it belongs to everybody in the world who chooses its way.
The World Tae Kwon Mudo Academy was conceived to compliment the World Tae Kwon Do federation and to exist in harmony"
About Chun Ma Taekwondo
 |
Master David Sutherill 7th Dan |
At Chun Ma Taekwondo, we practice the traditional art of Taekwondo placing emphasis on all aspects of Taekwondo training for all ages and abilities. There is something in Taekwondo for everyone to be successful at, whether it is sparring, patterns, self-defence etc. We encourage all of our students to take part in every aspect of Taekwondo to the best of their ability.
We are members of the Mudo Academy and are recognised by the British Taekwondo Council which is the governing body for all Taekwondo in the UK.
All instructors have BTC instructor certificates and have been CRB checked.
Our Chief Instructor is Master David Sutherill 7th Dan who has been practicing martial arts for over 36 years.
Our Grandmaster is Kim Yong Ho 9th Dan who lived in Paris for over 20 years, making regular visits to England. Master Sutherill travelled to Paris throughout this time, as often as once every 2 months over a prolonged period. Master Kim has since returned to his homeland, Korea.

Chun Ma members have competed internationally in several countries such as Mexico, Morocco, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Ireland and Korea. The club raises funds so that children can get their travel paid to overseas competitions, lessening the burden on their parents to find the money. We believe that everyone commited to the art should have access to the great opportunities available in international competition.
In short, the instructors work hard for the students, the students work hard for instructors and most importantly the parents work hard for the club, this way everyone is happy and can get something out of Taekwondo at Chun Ma.
Here are some of our students when they visited Korea in 2008:
Tenets of Taekwondo
- Modesty - having a humble estimate of oneself, not being boastful and showing off.
- Perseverance - the ability to keep on trying until you master what you set out to do.
- Etiquette - rule of behaviour and showing respect for others.
- Self-control - being able to train hard without hurting anyone and being able to control anger or aggression within.
- Indomitable Spirit - to be able to keep going, no matter how tough things get.
