Hi everyone, I am planning on travelling to Korea next year for 6-12 months (maybe longer) to experience the country and culture, but mostly to dedicate myself to studying Taekwondo.
I took up Taekwondo when I was 8 years old and over about 10 years I trained and tried various other arts. Looking back it was a mistake to hop around several martial arts becoming a jack of all trades... but master of none.
The biggest mistake I made was quiting martial arts all together about 5 years ago and for years now I have thought about getting back into it, but finding a decent authentic school in London is pretty much impossible. I have been to about 20 classes in London in the last year but have not found a proper authentic Taekwondo class yet.
So I thought if I really want to follow my dream I'll need to go abroad. I've seen online there are good schools in USA, but I figured what better place to go than its birth home - Korea.
What I was hoping is that someone on this forum might have some experience of good Taekwondo schools in Korea. I don't mind where in South Korea, my main objective is to find a good school, even if it is in the middle of nowhere.
Thanks in advance!
Ben
