Our philosophy at LCTKD Wellbeing and London Chinatown TaeKwonDo is built upon a
belief in helping others, and we believe that our philosophy should show in action,
not just words. Over the years, we have supported a multitude of charities and good
causes, through the commitment of thousands of hours of our time, specialist advice,
fundraising events, in-kind contributions, sponsorship and donations from the LCTKD
Good Causes Fund. We are particularly interested in the smallest causes with little
or no funding, and in supporting people’s greater participation in martial arts -
our own students, students of other schools, and those who have no martial arts involvement
at the moment, but with a little help....
We also have some important ongoing commitments. In 2010 we made the LCTKD Military
Services Commitment, in which we have committed to providing free training at any
appropriate public martial arts class in our Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Gloucestershire
group, to anyone who has been in military service. Subject to a maximum of 5 enrolled
and active students per class under the scheme, you pay only for your licence, grading
fees, and equipment. We will not charge you any training fees. For life.
In 2011, we introduced LCTKD Work Experience Placements for unemployed people, and
LCTKD Student Placements for school or college students.
In 2012, to mark the Year of the Dragon, we introduced the LCTKD Dragon Scholarships
- free subscriptions and ongoing support for disadvantaged pupils nominated by their
school.
We are also willing to offer time, specialist advice, participation in events, and
other in kind support. If you are one of our students and have a cause you would
like us to support, or a school or college with an interest in our work, or just
someone with an idea, contact us and let us know.
