Who are we?
Stamford & Oakham GTUK TaeKwon Do are part of the Bluecoat TaeKwon Do group run by Mr Richard Auciello, and are proud to be a member of the GTUK, which is run under the expert guidance and leadership of Master Roy Oldham, 8th Degree Black Belt.
Bluecoat TaeKwon Do is a group with a long tradition. For us, it's not just about serious training: we love it when our students win medals, but we're just as enthusiastic about our
groups that simply meet because they enjoy TaeKwon Do. We are proud to have a number of pupils from the Stamford club who have also competed for England at both junior and senior
level. However is not only the physical successes that are important but also that of students whose lives have been improved through doing TaeKwon Do. He teaches students who suffer with
learning difficulties and one particular student who suffers with Asperger Syndrome, which is a form of autism. Graham Henson started TaeKwon Do hardly able to stand on one leg, and has managed
through careful instruction and determination to make it to Black belt. Graham was awarded Stamford’s student of the Year in 2003 and went on to be given a BBC East Midlands award for special
achievement in Dec 2005. He now trains with the GTUK England Squad.
We don't differentiate between our students. Anyone is welcome to join us. Our qualified Instructors are team members just like anyone else and will be happy to tell you more
about how TaeKwon Do can help you.
We're always happy to welcome new students, and suggest that you contact Mr or Mrs Auciello to discuss your FREE trial!
