BTS features on BBC South Today (click to view)
British Taekwondo South was founded by Master Joe Brown (5th Dan WTF Registered) in 1981 and from then on the club has expanded to become one of the largest and most successful Taekwondo Clubs in Great Britain today. BTS boasts some of the most experienced instructors in the country and is unrivalled in the South of England when it comes to its unbeaten record of club team placements and wins. The club has produced many National and International champions which includes Master Brown's son Gareth (many time GB Junior and Senior National Champion). Joe was the BTF National Team Coach 1985-1994, BTCB Principal National Team Coach from 1994-2002, Regional Centre of Excellence National Team Coach 2002-2006 and the BTCB Combined Services Military Team Coach Great Britain 2005-2008 (temporarily disbanded because of the overwhelming operational tempo).
Gareth is currently working alongside GB Taekwondo elite performance coaches at the GB Academy in Manchester, with the Junior National team.
