Self defence, confidence, fitness. For students of all ages.
We are a modern and welcoming Tae Kwon Do organisation who have been training since 1996, empowering our students across South East Queensland with skills that extend far beyond the mat. Our programs are built around self-defence, fitness, confidence and respect, developing not just physical ability but a positive mindset that carries into everyday life. Whether you’re a parent looking for a structured, values-driven activity for your child, or an adult ready to invest in yourself, you’ll find a community here that genuinely supports you every step of the way.
Modern Tae Kwon Do, modern training
Tae Kwon Do is a year-round sport with no seasons or sign-on days. The easiest way to get started is to speak to your local instructor and let them know you’re interested. When you come along to your first class, wear comfortable clothes you can move freely in. Your first two lessons are free and you are under no obligation to join.
If you decide Tae Kwon Do is right for you or your family, your instructor will give you the rest of the basic information at the end of the lesson. You don’t need to buy a uniform straight away, but you will need one before your first grading. Any other equipment can be bought when it’s needed.

Traditional Tae Kwon Do. Modern training.
The Institute of Modern Tae Kwon Do blends traditional Tae Kwon Do techniques with the practicality of western boxing, creating a style that is both dynamic and effective. The curriculum focuses on real-world self-defence, clean technique, control, fitness and continuous improvement, in a culture of respect, discipline and personal growth.
Age does not matter: our students range from 6 into their 60s, male and female. Come with an open mind and be willing to take instruction. That’s all we ask.
