About Five Lions Taekwondo
Five Lions Taekwondo is a dynamic and inclusive martial arts club based across Coventry, Birmingham, and Leicester, dedicated to teaching Olympic-style World Taekwondo. As a registered club with British Taekwondo and affiliated with World Taekwondo, we provide professional, safe, and structured training for students of all ages and backgrounds – from complete beginners to advanced practitioners.
Our Mission
At Five Lions Taekwondo, our mission is to empower individuals through martial arts. We are committed to developing not just physical skills like strength, speed, and flexibility, but also mental and emotional traits such as discipline, respect, confidence, and resilience. Our goal is to help every student become the best version of themselves – on and off the mat.
What We Offer
- Taekwondo Classes for All Ages: We offer structured training for children, teens, and adults. Whether you're looking to build confidence, improve fitness, compete, or learn self-defence, we have a class tailored for you.
- World Taekwondo Syllabus: All our sessions follow the official WT (Olympic-style) curriculum, with focus on kicking techniques, poomsae (patterns), sparring, and grading preparation.
- Competition Preparation: For those who wish to compete, we provide expert coaching and training to prepare students for local, national, and international competitions.
- Character Building: We integrate life skills into our teaching. Students learn focus, respect, humility, and leadership – values that go beyond martial arts.
Why Choose Us?
- Qualified Instructors: Our coaches are fully certified through British Taekwondo and DBS-checked. We are passionate about helping students progress in a safe, encouraging, and respectful environment.
- Multi-City Presence: With dojangs in Coventry, Birmingham, and Leicester, we are proud to bring high-quality martial arts education to communities across the Midlands.
- Inclusive & Family-Friendly: We welcome students of all abilities, ethnic backgrounds, faiths, and ages. We are especially supportive of young people and families looking for positive, active lifestyles.
- Modern & Traditional Values Combined: While we teach modern, competition-standard Taekwondo, we remain true to the traditional martial art’s roots in discipline, honour, and self-control.
Our Vision
Five Lions Taekwondo aims to become one of the leading Taekwondo academies in the UK by building a strong, supportive community of martial artists who uplift each other. We believe every student has the potential to grow into a leader, a competitor, or a role model – and we are here to guide them every step of the way.
