Instructor Spotlight: Instructor Claude Visits Albany

It was fantastic to welcome Instructor Claude from our Morley club to Albany earlier this month. Claude led a special class, sharing his knowledge, experience, and passion for martial arts with our students.

Claude earned his 1st Dan Black Belt in 2002 and his 2nd Dan in 2012, and is currently training towards his 3rd Dan grading in 2027. Having trained continuously for almost 30 years under the guidance of ASI Bruno, Claude is a valued member of the First TaeKwonDo WA family.

Our Albany students enjoyed learning from his wealth of experience, and we thank Claude for making the trip south to support our club. We look forward to welcoming him back again soon!

🌟 Father’s Day 2026 🌟 This Father’s Day, First TaeKwonDo WA celebrates the dads who don’t just encourage their children from the sidelines — they step onto the Dojang floor and train alongside them.

There is something incredibly powerful about a father and child learning TaeKwonDo together. Every class becomes an opportunity to demonstrate, through action, the importance of discipline, respect, perseverance and determination.

Children learn from the examples they see. When Dad turns up, trains hard, faces challenges and keeps going when things get difficult, he is teaching lessons that extend well beyond martial arts.

The journey isn't always easy. There are techniques that take time to master, physical challenges that test us and moments when progress can feel slow. Sharing those experiences creates a unique bond between father and child — one built on encouragement, achievement and overcoming obstacles together.

And years from now, it may not be the individual kicks, punches or patterns they remember most. It will be the time spent together, the lessons learned and the memories created on the Dojang floor.

A father's greatest influence often comes not from what he says, but from what he does. Acta Non Verba — Deeds, Not Words.

To all the fathers, dads, grandfathers and father figures in our First TaeKwonDo WA family — thank you for leading by example, supporting your children and helping them become stronger, more confident and resilient individuals.

From everyone at First TaeKwonDo WA, we wish all the incredible dads a very Happy Father’s Day! ❤️🥋

🥋 2026 FIRST TAE KWON DO WA FEMALE TRAINING SESSION 💪

Can you spot two of our Albany female students who attended this training is Perth on Sunday 9 August, at South Perth Community Hall!

What an amazing session, with female students from all over Perth and WA, including some of our Albany ladies all coming together to train with students across our 22 WA training centres.

This event was a great reminder of the strength of our female students across First Tae Kwon Do WA and the importance of creating opportunities for our ladies to train together, learn together and support each other.

A huge THANK YOU to WA Head Female Instructor Marlyn Small, along with all the Instructors, Black Belts, students and Branches who contributed their time, equipment and support to make the morning such a success. 👏

Events like this don't happen without a team effort — and the commitment shown by everyone involved was outstanding.

🌟 Let's keep encouraging more of our female students to get involved, challenge themselves, train hard and take advantage of these special training opportunities.

Stronger together. Training together. Growing together. 🥋💪

Congratulations to everyone involved in another fantastic First Tae Kwon Do WA training event!

Last month, our Albany students had the privilege of being taught by Senior Instructor Marlyn.

Marlyn, a 4th Degree Black Belt, began her TaeKwonDo journey under WA Chief Instructor Dane back in February 1994 — and has trained continuously ever since. With over three decades of dedication, she currently leads as the Bassendean Branch Instructor and serves as WA’s Head Female Instructor for First TaeKwonDo.

Her passion, precision, and deep knowledge of TaeKwonDo shone through every moment of the class. Our Albany students thoroughly enjoyed learning from her wealth of experience — from fundamentals to fine details — and were inspired by her lifelong commitment to the art.

A big thank you to SI Marlyn for visiting Albany and sharing her expertise and energy — it was a truly motivating session for all who attended!

🌟 Father’s Day 2025 🌟 At First TaeKwonDo WA, we proudly honour the many fathers who step onto the training floor alongside their children.
TaeKwonDo is more than a martial art — it is a lifelong journey of discipline, respect, and perseverance. When fathers and children train together, the benefits reach far beyond fitness and technique. Fathers lead by example, showing their children the value of commitment, resilience, and personal growth. In a world where many young people look to outside influences as role models, the presence of a father to look up to — right beside them on the Dojang floor — is truly invaluable. Acta Non Verba!

Training side by side, fathers and children share in both triumphs and challenges. They sweat together, overcome difficulties together, and learn that progress comes through patience, effort, grit, and determination. These lessons forge not only stronger martial artists, but also stronger individuals equipped with the mental fortitude to face life’s demands.

Beyond the kicks and patterns, these shared experiences strengthen family bonds, build confidence, and create memories that will be cherished for years to come.

This Father’s Day, we pay tribute to all the fathers who guide, encourage, and inspire — both inside and outside the dojang. Your example is a lasting gift, proving that the greatest lessons are not spoken, but lived.

From all of us at First TaeKwonDo WA, we wish you a very Happy Father’s Day.
