Heritage

35+ YEARS IN CANBERRA.

Most of our instructors came through our childrens program. They stayed, graded, and now teach. That kind of continuity takes decades. It is why families stay for years, not terms.

WHAT WE TEACH

TRADITIONALTAE KWON-DO

Tae Kwon-Do is one of the world's oldest martial arts. At Action Tae Kwon-Do we teach age appropriate programs for children, teenagers, and adults. Students train in patterns, self-defence, sparring, and progress towards a black belt.

The students who train here build skills including: coordination, focus, strength, agility, self-defence and discipline. Not overnight. Class by class, belt by belt. We draw on 35+ years of experience in teaching this art.

I started training here from an early age. The school gave me more than I expected. Running it is how I pay that back.

Every instructor here made the same decision you are making now. They loved it and stayed.
