Head Coach: Vacant

Master Suh Ki Young was re-elected to the role of Head Coach at the BSTF AGM 2009. His tragic passing in February 2010 means the position is currently vacant.

He was a 7th Dan Master in WTF Taekwondo, as well as an International Representative for the Kukkikwon. The BSTF were extremely lucky to have Master Suh as Head Coach for the last few years.

The BSTF committee is elected each year at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) where each member club carries a vote. All clubs are encouraged to send members to represent their university at the AGM. If you have enjoyed previous BSTF events and would like to help, consider putting yourself forward for a committee position at the next AGM.
