2025 finishes on a high note with British Autumn Open 1st place Team Trophy for Manchester TKD Schools!

Posted on November 27, 2025 by manchestertaekwondoschools

2025 was yet another busy year for Manchester Taekwondo Schools – starting with the Online William the Marshall Ireland Poomsae championship, followed by the annual trip to Barcelona for the Jordan Open, hosting the Spring Open at home in Urmston, Portsmouth in June, the London Open in July, Benicassim, Spain in October and the final competition of the year, our annual Autumn Open.

All competitions were a great opportunity for different members of the team to test their skills, fitness levels and technical ability both in Poomsae and Kyorugi. Win or lose, it’s a great experience and learning on where to improve for the next one.
