Instructor, Matt Stein, 2010 Taekwondo. 

Updated: 03-08-2025.

Welcome to the Home page of 2010 Taekwondo.

We practice WTF Taekwondo which is represented in the Olympics and originates from South Korea.

Class is taught by Instructor Matt Stein who trained under GrandMaster Fred Lee in the 1970's in London and GrandMaster Dung LeVan from 1980-90's in Bristol.

Students from as young as 5 can start their training. The classes are mixed in terms of age and grade with adults training alongside children.

The club is run on simple principles both old and new. The five tenets of Taekwondo: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control and Indomitable Spirit are taught. Matt's approach is serious but not overly strict. The focus remains on technique and practical application of self-defence. It is intended that through repetitive training, the skills and techniques required to defend oneself will be learned. The addition of competition sparring sharpens the reactions and helps to refine technical skills. Not all students want to fight so in this modern era of martial arts they too are accommodated. There are many aspects of martial arts and not all are about fighting. Some students come to boost self-esteem and confidence. This can be achieved simply by participating and refining technical skills. One-step sparring and patterns are a good way to learn this. 

Congratulations to Kol 1st Dan, James 1st Dan and Rachel 3rd Dan who all achieved their respective Dan grades in July 2025. They have all been shining stars throughout their training and now can help in teaching too. They have made me very proud and honoured to have had them in my class.
