Why join or affiliate to the L.T.S.I.
Top class events / awards as standard
Since 2004, the L.T.S.I. has hosted events in the U.K. that facilitate I.T.F. and independents from all over the four nations. The events have rules that suit both sides, meaning our opens are the fairest on the market. Profit is not our goal, unity and networking is. The awards we offer are amongst the best around - FACT!
No compromise on standards or dress code
Dress code is one of our top priority. All our Black Belts are required to attend all events in full official attire as above. There is NO compromise on how we conduct ourselves.
Certification and Licensing
One thing for sure, you will not find another U.K. group or body offering what we do. From license books for colour belts to Black Belt license books and status cards, we offer it all! We also provide International ITF Union certification as well.
Satisfaction Guaranteed

Our next main event
We host a number of events every year, weather it is open Taekwon-do championships that are trusted and proven or have an interest in seminars and courses we have you covered. Our affiliates have 100% freedom and we never interfere.
We've got you covered all the way
Whether it's insurance, recognition in a national group or looking for international recognition under an ITF body, we can help. Join us as a fully fledged member, or just affiliate to us....the choice is 100% yours with no hard sell.
What do I need to do if I'm interested?
Simply fill in the online form. All enquiries are 100% confidential, so no bridges will be burnt. We tend to get back in touch after we have done some research on you - this usually takes about 24 hours.
What happens if I join as a full member then want affiliated membership?
We are not an organisation that rules on fear (you know, the ones that attack you just because you decide it's not for you). Let us know and that's it. To be honest, we often say affiliation is best, then go full member after if you like. Again, there's no pressure.
Can I keep my own identity?
If you join fully, you gain many benefits, but it means using our suits etc. If you take affiliation, nothing changes and you can get access to everything we use at cost. We don't control anyone - all we ask is you follow correct timelines on exams and never put our group into disrepute online.
Can I grade my own students?
The rules are set by ITF system for all full members and affiliates -
- Only 4th Degrees that have been on IIC's can examine members
- 4th and 5th Degree can grade up to 2nd Degree
- 6th Degree can grade up to 3rd Degree
- 7th Degree can grade up to 5th Degree
- 8th Degree can grade up to 7th Degree (7th is by permission of ITF Promotion committee)
When you join, we will request proof of your promotions unless we know you already.
Do you have a constitution?
The L.T.S.I. sees constitutions as a way to enforce rules set by the organisation. We have a very basic Charter that works. No Board of Control, just an administration that looks after daily activities.
Full benefit information is only available to full members.
Our club was a full member of the L.T.S.I. in the start. We left to be part of another ITF body and chose to come back. We are now affiliated - no fuss, no pressure. We enter their events and love them. Highly recommended by Berkhamstead TKD
I've been a student of Master Snow's since 1996. I choose full membership as it works for my clubs and I have no interest in the politics, No stress, no pressure. The administration is on point and events are pretty classy.
We were affiliated to the L.T.S.I. for a number of years and never had any issues. Sadly, after Covid-19 my clubs folded, but I can verify their admin is pretty top notch. It's worth a punt if you want freedom.
Seminars with World class Masters and Grandmasters
The L.T.S.I. is led by Master Snow, 8th Degree
Despite our group head having one of the highest level degree belts in Taekwondo, we have a philosophy to provide the best Masters around for a given field. Whether it's sparring, patterns or technical, you can be sure the L.T.S.I. will always give you the best money can buy and make it competitive.
Grandmasters of the highest creed
We know our limits - getting a Grandmaster in from a reputable organisation gives our membership and attendees the best low cost experience money can buy.
