Teh's Institute of Tukido is a martial arts club located in Kirkintilloch, Glasgow. Established for over thirty years, Tukido, which means “The Art of Skilful Combat,” was developed and modified by Grandmaster Hock Aun Teh, D. A. The club offers a unique concept of modern martial arts that combines fitness and self-defence.
Tukido focuses on natural and effective movements that are easy to learn and apply in real-life situations.
Unlike traditional martial arts, Tukido does not emphasise stances or impractical movements. Instead, the combat movements are designed to develop self-defence skills and increase awareness of one's surroundings. Tukido's philosophy is based on the belief that all force derives from the feet pushing off the floor, rather than just the hips. This approach makes Tukido accessible to individuals of all ages and fitness levels.
Tukido is a registered trademark and holds the distinction of being the first and only martial art to receive a developing grant from the government of the European Community. This recognition highlights the depth of research and innovation that went into the creation of Tukido.
At Teh's Institute of Tukido, safety is of utmost importance. All Tukido Instructors are Black Belts and have undergone rigorous training to become qualified teachers.
