Touch Gloves is touring the country as Taekwondo takes up the Sport England initiative to increase female participation in sport.

This is a new initiative and Sport England hope that all schools and clubs will play an active role within the program.

Touch Gloves will give participants an exciting introduction into a training experience which promotes fitness, fun, confidence and self defence.

Pictured are girls from Supreme Taekwondo Academy, a local club in Widnes, who are participating in this Sport England / British Taekwondo Council (The National Governing Body) initiative.
