The England Taekwon Do Association (E.T.A.) was originally named the Ellis Taekwon-Do Association.
The Ellis Taekwon Do Association was created in 2005 when several schools in the South East of England joined Master Orello Ellis 8th degree and the Ellis Taekwon Do Academy.
The E.T.A. is now a large organisation affiliated to the ITF and and AETF. We now have schools throughout the country and run regular seminars, tournaments, instructors courses and social events for our members. Many members and affiliates of the ETA are part of the successful ITF England National Team.
Please browse our website to find out more about your local school, the latest news and events and about how Taekwon-Do can benefit you and your family.

England-TKD - Seminar & Black Belt Examination of 2011 |
|
|
|
|
The first Seminar and Black Belt Examination of 2011 took place on Saturday 9th April. The following day, ETA held its AGM.
ETA President Master Ellis started the proceedings on Saturday, by giving out a special award to commemorate Mrs Lisa Dennis’ achievement of becoming Power Breaking World Champion at the recent competition in New Zealand. She also became Vice-Champion in the hyper weight sparring.
With the presentation out of the way, Master Ellis took the participants through a vigorous warm up and stretching routine. After this, two groups were formed. Group 1 consisted of 3rd degrees upward, which went off with Master Ellis to perform senior patterns and applications of movements. Group 2 remained under the supervision of Master Denis, Mr Patterson and Mr Symonds. Sparring drills, Patterns (Application of Movements, correct use of Sine Wave and the Theory of Power) and finally a Question Time helped the 3 hours fly be in what seemed like no time at all.
After the seminar it was time for some students to take part in the grading. Mrs Lisa Dennis sat her VIth degree under Master Ellis while those going for I-III degree took the examination under Master Denis, Mr Patterson and Mr Symonds.
Congratulations to all the successful applicants. |
