Founding and History

Burbage Taekwon-Do was founded in 2001 at Burbage Millennium Hall by Master Wayne Higginson. From the beginning, the academy has been committed to teaching the art of ITF Taekwon-Do to local schools and serving the community.



Achievements and Growth

Over the years, Burbage Taekwon-Do Academy has trained numerous students to Black Belt level, with many progressing to compete at international levels. Several students have represented England in competitions, training alongside Master Higginson and showcasing their skills on a global stage.



Present and Future

Today, Master Higginson (VII Degree), along with Mrs. Higginson (VI Degree) and a team of experienced instructors, continues to lead the academy. They operate from a full-time Dojang Training Centre located on Hawley Rd in Hinckley, Leicestershire, providing high-quality instruction and fostering the next generation of martial artists.

The Journey is the Reward

At Burbage Taekwon-Do Academy, we believe that “The Journey is the Reward.” Every step taken, from a student’s first lesson to achieving a Black Belt and beyond, is a testament to dedication, perseverance, and personal growth. Success in Taekwon-Do is not just about reaching the next belt but about the lessons learnt along the way – the discipline, confidence, and resilience developed through training.

Whether competing at international levels or simply striving for self-improvement, our students embrace the journey, knowing that each challenge overcome brings its own reward.

With the support of our experienced instructors and a strong community, every individual at Burbage TKD continues to grow, proving that the true reward lies not in the destination but in the journey itself.
