About Us

Earlier known as Cumbria Taekwondo Club established in 1972 we recently rebranded to CORE Taekwondo Academy to constantly learn & evolve, with our students needs & goals at the heart of everything we aim to achieve. We teach out of our purpose designed, fully matted and equipped Do-Jang which has a viewing area and kitchen for our parents to sit and watch family members train in the heart of Kendal Town.
