Today, we operate 12 branches all across Victoria, and maintain our consistent goal of introducing new students to Taekwondo and supporting them to develop skills for life from beginner to Blackbelt.
Our Chief Instructor, Grand Master Jack Rozinszky 9th Dan, is recognised as the pioneer of Taekwondo in Australia and has been recognised by the “Taekwondo Hall of Fame”.

For ages 6-12. Taekwondo is an exciting, fun and energetic Korean martial art and Olympic sport, characterised not only by its use of blocks and punches but also by its emphasis on dynamic kicking. Taekwondo uses moves such as sidekicks, roundhouses and back kicks, sometimes in conjunction with spinning and jumping manoeuvres.
Taekwondo also focuses on the development of important skills to prepare you for life, including confidence, respect, discipline, concentration, hand/foot/eye coordination, as well as health and fitness.
