👏 Congratulations to our newly promoted students:
🥋 Samip – Yokine Dojang 1st Kup → Junior Black Belt

🥋 3rd Quarter 2026 Grading Highlights | Part 4 of 4

Our final installment of the September Grading Highlights celebrates our senior Coloured Belt students, from 4th to 2nd Kup, who took on the challenge at our Quarterly Grading Examination on Sunday, 20 September 2026.

With students representing all 23 First Tae Kwon Do WA Training Centres, the examination showcased the dedication, discipline and perseverance required to progress through the senior ranks towards Black Belt.

At this level, students must demonstrate far more than technical knowledge. Challenging free sparring rounds against experienced Black Belts, multiple-opponent sparring and precise one-step sparring exercises tested their ability to apply techniques effectively while maintaining control, timing and awareness under pressure. Our Black Belts also provided valuable guidance and feedback, helping candidates identify areas for improvement and strengthen their skills.

As students move closer to Black Belt, the standard expected of them continues to rise. Candidates were assessed on both their current and previously learned patterns, demonstrating consistency, accuracy and a solid understanding of our syllabus. Those grading for 2nd Kup also faced the additional challenge of board breaking, requiring focus, commitment and the ability to generate effective power.

🥋 At First Tae Kwon Do WA, rank is earned through commitment, not simply time. Students must spend a minimum of six months at each rank, and often longer, to develop the skills, confidence, physical ability and mental readiness needed to progress.

Congratulations to all our senior Coloured Belt students who stepped forward, embraced the challenge and continued working towards their Black Belt goals. Every grading is another opportunity to learn, improve and grow.

👏 A special thank you to Senior Instructors Les and Mischa, along with Instructors Samantha and Tamara, for capturing these memorable moments from another fantastic grading day.

🥋 More Than Martial Arts — Building Confidence, Character & Family Pride

There are moments in Tae Kwon Do that are about much more than belts, grading exams or techniques. ❤️ This beautiful moment captures one of those moments — a young student completing his grading and being greeted by his incredibly proud mum & younger brother with a well-earned hug. 🥋👏

At First Tae Kwon Do, we believe children develop far more than martial arts skills.

Through regular training, children learn to:

✅ Build confidence and self-belief
✅ Develop discipline and perseverance
✅ Learn respect, focus and self-control
✅ Set goals and work towards them
✅ Overcome challenges and learn from mistakes
✅ Take pride in their own achievements
✅ Develop resilience and a positive attitude

And perhaps most importantly, they learn that progress comes from effort, patience and never giving up.

Every grading is a journey — and behind every child standing proudly on the floor is often family members who have encouraged, supported and celebrated them along the way. ❤️The belt is the reward. The development of the child is the real achievement.

🥋 First Tae Kwon Do WA — Building stronger bodies, stronger minds and stronger character.

3rd Quarter 2026 Grading Highlights | Part 1 of 4

The road to Black Belt starts with strong foundations, and on Sunday, 20 September 2026, our White Belt and Yellow Tip students proudly demonstrated the progress they have made during their quarterly grading.

Under the watchful eye of Master Instructor Vernon Low, our 10th and 9th Kup students showcased the techniques, patterns, and skills they have been working hard to develop in class. Their effort, focus, and commitment were evident throughout the grading as they stepped forward with confidence and determination.

Gradings are an important milestone in every student's Tae Kwon Do journey. They provide a chance to test personal growth, overcome challenges, and celebrate the rewards that come from consistent practice and perseverance.

Congratulations to all students who successfully achieved their next level. Be proud of your accomplishments, continue striving for improvement, and enjoy the journey ahead as you build new skills and confidence.

A special thank you to SI Les, SI Adam, SI Mischa, and Tamara for capturing these special moments and helping us preserve the memories of the day.

🥋 BLACK BELT IS NOT GIVEN — IT IS EARNED. 🥋 3rd Quarterly Grading Examination | Perth | 20 September 2026

Our latest Quarterly Grading brought together students from across WA to test themselves, demonstrate their skills and continue their journey through traditional Tae Kwon Do.

For two students, the day marked a particularly significant milestone — achieving their Black Belt under the guidance of Master Instructor Vernon Low.

👏 Congratulations to:
🥋 Samip – Yokine Dojang,1st Kup → Junior Black Belt
🥋 Aman – Canning Vale Dojang, 1st Kup → 1st Dan Black Belt

A Black Belt represents far more than the colour of a belt. It represents the years of training, discipline, perseverance, technical development and personal growth required to reach this level.

At First Tae Kwon Do, we continue to uphold the standards of traditional martial arts. Promotions are earned through consistent effort and a commitment to developing both skill and character.

For Samip and Aman, this achievement is not the end of their journey.

It is the beginning of a new chapter — one that brings greater knowledge, greater responsibility and even greater opportunities to develop as martial artists.

To our new Black Belts: Be proud of what you have achieved. Remember the challenges you overcame to get here. And never stop learning.

Your achievement is an inspiration to every student currently working towards their next belt — and to those who one day hope to follow in your footsteps.

Congratulations Samip and Aman! 👏🥋

Traditional Martial Arts. Traditional Standards. A Journey for Life.

🥋 Age is Just a Number. Discipline is for Life. 🥋 What a fantastic afternoon at our First Tae Kwon Do Over 45's Training Session, held at Morley Dojang on 22 August 2026 and led by Senior Instructors Kelvin and Rob.

This special training session was designed for our dedicated students aged 45 and over who are committed to progressing towards their Black Belt journey. Participants worked through targeted drills, practical self-defence applications, strength and mobility exercises, and training strategies specifically tailored to help mature martial artists continue improving safely and effectively.

The energy, determination, and commitment displayed by everyone in attendance was truly inspiring. These students are proving that it is never too late to set new goals, challenge yourself, improve your fitness, and develop new skills.

At First Tae Kwon Do, we believe that martial arts is not just about earning belts. It is about building confidence, maintaining health, developing resilience, and surrounding yourself with a supportive community that helps you achieve your best.

👏 Congratulations to all who attended and invested in their personal development. Your dedication is a great example of what can be achieved through consistent training and a positive mindset.

Train Smart. Live Strong. Stay Confident. Keep Training!

📸 Special thanks to our photographers Senior Instructor Adam, Instructor Samantha, and Tamara for capturing these memorable moments.

🥋 DOWNWARD CHOP DESTRUCTION 💥 Breaking boards and tiles isn’t just about power — it’s about focus, precision, commitment and control.

The Downward Chop is a great example of how our students progressively develop these skills. Our younger students begin by learning the technique and building confidence by breaking boards. As they progress through the grades, they develop greater accuracy, speed, power and mental focus, eventually working towards the more demanding tile destruction required for Dan grading demonstrations.

There is something very rewarding about seeing that progression — from the first nervous board break to confidently committing to a powerful strike through multiple tiles.

In this video, Instructor Liam from Bicton Dojang demonstrates the Downward Chop destruction on 10x Roof tiles. Liam is continuing his own journey towards his 2nd Dan grading next year, which will mark 19 years of continuous Tae Kwon Do training.

That is what First Tae Kwon Do is all about — progress, perseverance and continually challenging yourself to become better. First TKD WA - Upholding the Standards of Traditional Tae Kwon Do.

From the first board… to the Dan grading tiles. 👊💥

Train hard. Stay focused. Keep progressing.

Thanks to Chloe for this video clip.

🥋 THE ROAD TO BLACK BELT🥋 A First TKD Black Belt isn’t earned in a single grading — it is built through years of training, discipline, setbacks, perseverance and the decision to keep turning up.

On 25/07/2026, eight of our dedicated 1st Kup students took on the challenge of our Pre-Grading Check (PGC) — a significant milestone on the journey towards Black Belt.

For many students, reaching this stage represents 7–10 years of consistent training and commitment.

Throughout the afternoon, WA Chief Instructor Dane Meade assessed each applicant across the full spectrum of their martial arts development, including all 10 of their kup patterns, techniques, sparring, self-defence, destruction/breaking and overall martial arts knowledge.

More importantly, each student was challenged to step outside their comfort zone, demonstrate their skills under pressure and show the mindset expected of a future Black Belt.

Congratulations to the two students who have earned their opportunity to sit the upcoming Black Belt Examination on 20 September 2026 under Master Vernon Low.

This opportunity is the result of years of hard work, sacrifice and commitment — and is something they should be extremely proud of.

To those who weren't successful this time: your journey doesn't end here.

Every challenge teaches you something. Every setback gives you an opportunity to improve. Take the feedback, go back to training, work on the areas identified and come back stronger.

There is no shortcut to a First TKD Black Belt. There is only the journey. Keep training. Keep learning. Keep pushing forward.

Your next opportunity will come. 👊

At First TaeKwonDo WA, we don't just train martial artists — we develop discipline, resilience, confidence and character that extend well beyond the Dojang.

Congratulations to all eight students who stepped up and accepted the challenge. We are proud of every one of you.

A special thank you to SI Les, SI Amie and Ins Mischa for capturing the memorable moments from the day.

🥋 Train hard. Stay committed. Never give up.
