Leith TaeKwonDo is a club where the emphasis is on creating a fun and friendly environment where like minded people in Edinburgh can meet to learn and practice martial arts and in particular ITF TaeKwonDo. Leith TaeKwonDo was established in 1991 by Mr John McKissock (5th Degree) and is well established in the Edinburgh Martial Arts community.

In 2003, when Mr McKissock moved to Spain, where he is now the Technical Director for the Spanish ITF, Miss Lockhart (5th Degree) is currently the primary instructor. The Club is affiliated to the United Kingdom TaeKwonDo Federation (UKTF) with whom Miss Lockhart is accredited as an Instructor. We regularly attend national competitions with many of our members being current UKTF medallists. The style of TaeKwonDo taught at Leith is ITF, as taught by Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi 9th Degree.
