There will be no training in Leytonstone Epicenter on the Thursday 16th October 14 due to the borough holding a Fostering and Adoption Seminar from 2pm to 9pm. This is just for one day and regular training will resume at the next scheduled lesson.
Mr Albert Williamson-Taylor Era
We rebuilt the NLTKD website but somehow forgot to transfer over pictures from Mr Albert Williamson-Taylor era as instructor of the NLTKD. We fixed that. Mr Albert Williamson-Taylor founded the NLTKD many years ago. Mr Onipede reopened it with Albert’s support and even took his son to 2nd Dan. A few original NLTKD students have dusted off the cobwebs and returned to training too.
All the pictures are courtesy or Mr Williamson –Taylor and Paul Williams.

North London Taekwondo in 2014 so far
The NLKD has a new website. The old website, which went live in 2008, was fine for that time, but as web technology and coding evolved, the website became harder to maintain and up date. The best solution is to rebuild the site. In the meantime here are the news update that should have been posted to the website.
To do this I will simply scroll through our North London Taekwondo Facebook page and repost stuff here that has already been posted there.
