🥋 Taekwondo Classes Are Back!

Classes resume Wednesday, 2nd September at 7pm & 8pm— and all ages from 7 years up are welcome!

Class for 4 - 7yrs resuming on Wednesday 9th September @ 6.15pm

Taekwondo is so much more than learning martial arts. For children, it helps build confidence, discipline, focus, coordination and respect, while encouraging them to stay active and make new friends.

For adults, it’s a fantastic way to improve fitness, strength and flexibility, relieve stress and challenge yourself while learning practical martial arts skills.

Whether you’re looking for a fun activity for your child or a new challenge for yourself, TKD has something for everyone! 🥋💪

Come along and give it a try — everyone is welcome!

Sometimes it's the smallest gestures that mean the most.

Recently, I received a thoughtful gift bag from one of my students. Inside were some Taekwon-Do stickers, including one for our club, and a beautiful handwritten note about what earning his yellow belt meant to him.

I was genuinely touched by the thought and care he put into this gift. Moments like these remind me why I love teaching. Watching students grow in confidence, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals is rewarding in itself, but knowing that I've played a small part in their journey is something I'm incredibly grateful for.

Thank you for your kindness. I'm truly delighted and proud to receive such a meaningful gift. Congratulations again on your yellow belt—keep working hard, stay humble, and enjoy every step of your Taekwon-Do journey. 🥋💛

It’s so sad to say goodbye to this beautiful person from our Taekwon-Do school.

Tetiana Bashkatova joined our club years ago, and while we're heartbroken to see her go, we’re so excited for her as she begins a new adventure, travelling for work.

She is truly a beautiful person, both inside and out, and has been an incredible part of our club. Not only has she won many competitions and achieved several gradings during her time with us, but she has also captured so many special memories as our talented event photographer.

Tetianna thank you for everything you’ve done for our Taekwon-Do family. We wish you every success and happiness in this exciting new chapter. ❤️

We’re going to miss you terribly, but we hope you’ll come back and say hello whenever you can. Our doors will always be open to you.

Good luck, Tetianna —you’ll always be part of our Taekwon-Do family. 🥋❤️

Brilliant training session with Grandmaster Darcy at AIMAA HQ. It was great to catch up and train with everyone who travelled from all parts of the country. Always a pleasure to share the mats with such a dedicated group.

As instructors, it's so important to continue training with our Grandmasters. Their knowledge and experience are invaluable, and by continuing to learn ourselves, we lead by example for our students. 🥋

We recently wrapped up our junior classes for the summer break with our Parents & Students Night. Great fun was had by all, with lots of smiles! 😃

As a Taekwon-Do instructor, it's always lovely to see parents have a go at what their children do each week. It gives them a chance to experience the coordination, balance, power, and many of the more complicated movements that their children are learning.

Our students continue to show great commitment, determination, and discipline, and it's wonderful to watch their confidence grow. Taekwon-Do helps develop strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination while also improving focus and mental discipline, as students learn to kick and punch in many different directions.

Wishing everyone a fantastic summer break! Keep practising, stay active, and we look forward to seeing you all back on the mats soon. 🥋☀️
