OUR CLUB

WHY TRAIN WITH US

In 1999, after many years of fundraising, we purchased and built our own dedicated training facility. Known in korean as a dojang, it gives us a safe place that is purpose built to train in. With permanent padded flooring this is a place where martial artists can develop traditional values and strength of character free from the demands of the outside world. 

All classes are taken by black belt instructors with world recognised qualifications assisted by senior students. As students learn, they are tested regularly to assess their current level of ability.

INSTRUCTORS

All our instructors are volunteers, they dedicate their time and knowledge because they have a passion for the sport of Taekwondo. Our head instructor is Master Alan Brian, a Kukkiwon recognised 5th degree black belt and certified Taekwondo Master Instructor and Examiner. He has over 30 years of martial arts experience and is the current TNZ National Kyorugi Director as well as a former TNZ National Team Sparring Coach. He has won 12 national championship titles and was in the New Zealand National Taekwondo team for 10 years. He has competed at three WT World Championship events and medaled at the Commonwealth, Oceania, Canadian and Australian Open Championships. 

Our instructors regularly attend events and seminars across the country and internationally in order to further progress their skills and knowledge.

The club is a non profit organisation that thrives due to the commitment and dedication of our students and committee members. We are all volunteers who donate our time and energy.
