Preston's Total Taekwondo brings in GB athlete Dantrell Knight for sparring sessions
Olympic-style Taekwondo training is coming to Preston.
A Preston Taekwondo club is gearing up to offer Lancashire students Olympic-style sparring sessions, with one of Great Britain’s top Taekwondo athletes.
Total Taekwondo, based at Oxheys Industrial Estate on Greenbank Street, will welcome full-time GB Taekwondo squad member Dantrell Knight to the mats for two coaching sessions each week.
The open training sessions will include fight squad training on Mondays for more experienced competitors, and sparring fundamentals on Thursdays for anyone aged seven or over who wants to start their competitive journey.
To mark his arrival, Dantrell will lead an open sparring seminar at the club on Saturday, November 21, from 2pm to 5pm, where he will cover technique, competition strategy and other training methods.
Stewart Howard, head instructor at Total Taekwondo, said: “Having a full-time GB athlete on the mats every week is a huge step for our students.
“Dantrell trains at the very highest level, and now young fighters in Preston can learn from him every week. It also means athletes from other clubs across Lancashire have somewhere to come and train with him.”
