JDK Martial Arts Australia

JDK Martial Arts Australia Joong Do Kwan (JDK) Martial Arts Australia is home to Colin Wee’s reflections on martial art tradition, transformation, and his seeking of tactical clarity.

Explore our practice. Discover the book(s). Rethink what martial arts can be. Joong Do Kwan is more than a martial arts school—it’s a space for inquiry, discipline, and transformation. Founded on the belief that traditional training can thrive in a progressive environment, JDK brings together practitioners who seek clarity in movement, logic in application, and depth in personal growth. Our philosophy is captured in Breaking Through: The Secrets of Bassai Dai Kata, an award-winning book that documents four years of focused kata study. It explores how structure, mechanics, and tactical reasoning can unlock the combative potential of traditional forms—especially when facing non-compliant opponents and dynamic situations. At JDK, students engage with both the physical and intellectual dimensions of martial arts. Training is rigorous, but the community is supportive. We challenge assumptions, refine technique, and encourage each student to bring their full self to the practice. Whether you’re a seasoned martial artist or just starting out, Joong Do Kwan invites you to explore the kwan, rethink tradition, and discover what martial arts can become when you train with purpose.

In 2016, at the American Karate and Taekwondo Organization’s Annual Seminar, I had the privilege of leading a seminar, and then was completely floored when AKATO awarded me Instructor of the Year. As someone who teaches a small, tight‑knit group, it was an incredible honour.

I’m still grateful to GM Keith Yates for his kind words and for inviting me back to Dallas more often. It meant the world to have both my instructors there: Bryan Robbins (RIP) and GM Mike Proctor, and to meet new friends who made the weekend unforgettable.
