Cheongye Kwan Daehando

About us

확실한 Authentic 전통 Traditional 전문가 Professional

Hello and welcome to the website of the Cheongye Kwan, in Much Hoole, Preston! We are a system of Martial Arts training that involves methods used only from authentic Korean styles of training. We concentrate our system into one formulated program, utilising the best elements from several of Korea's most effective Martial Disciplines.

From a sporting perspective, the instructor (Master Barry Cook) is a Gold and Silver Medallist and is a former member of the British National Team, competing at both National and International levels. Master Cook was also the Southern Technical Synchron and Freestyle Champion, which gained him a National Ranking of 3rd overall in Great Britain.

The formation of our system, which officially started in 2007 offers its members a far more rounded and balanced structure of Martial Arts training. Our association name: Cheongye Kwan Daehando means in English “School of Excellence in the Korean way”

Our school originally opened its doors back in March 2003, and now over 5 years on we can see that our members have gone on to develop excellent attitudes and characters. They work very hard at making their training the highest standard it can be. Our classes have a very good family atmosphere, were every student helps each other to learn and grow, we also have several Black Belts and registered Assistant Instructors, who are all First Aid qualified.

New members are always welcome, so come down and try a class and be part of this great authentic Korean Martial Art. Classes cost £4 per person and ages start from 5. Wear losing fitting clothing such as track suit trousers, and bring a bottle of water for after the lesson, which lasts for roughly two hours.

Members of the association are concerned with only one thing and this is the journey of self perfection, achieved through training and hard work. Cheongye Kwan is also a facilitator of CRB Disclosure Certificates.
