About us

K.C Taekwondo & Tai Chi is a club dedicated to promoting and spreading the knowledge of Taekwondo and Tai Chi in Haslev and the surrounding area. Our club was founded by me, Katja Christensen, who has a great passion for both disciplines and wants to share my knowledge and experience with others. As 4. Dan in Taekwondo and 10 years of experience with Tai Chi, I definitely have a lot to pass on.

K.C Taekwondo & Tai Chi was founded in 2024 by me, Katja Christensen. After many years of training and teaching in Taekwondo and Tai Chi, I was ready to start my own club. I wanted to create a place where everyone could feel welcome and have an experience with real martial arts. I take pride in being a martial arts practitioner, and therefore I call it an art and not a sport. I started the club for like-minded people.

The club is founded on my values, experiences and knowledge.

My background and story

I started to Taekwondo under the Shin Won Wha, which has sprung from Hwa Rang. My first Taekwondo club was in Haslev Taekwondo, where I started teaching the children when I was 14. I started teaching the adults when I was 15.
I achieved 1. Dan (black belt) at the age of 16, and back then I was also the first, youngest, as well as the first woman in Haslev Taekwondo, who obtained black belt. This happened in 2015.
Although I have participated in both technique and combat competitions through my colored belts, I have never been bitten by the competition part. I've always been encouraged to train technique at competitive level, but the time has never been right. I have always been interested in learning the martial arts of what it is, and not the martial arts that have been transformed into being able to function in competitions.
I am fascintated by the body's natural movement pattern and captivated by what works - not what looks great for a show.
If you would like to train technique to attend competitions, we are not the club for you. But I can point you in a direction where you can find it.
With us, it's perfectly okay to be affiliated with several clubs. I believe that it is rewarding to learn different styles - also within other martial arts. It expands one's repertoire and can provide many benefits in the understanding and execution of martial arts.
