Who are we?
We think we're a pretty cool Taekwondo club...
Based in North Lakes and Burpengary on the Northside of Brisbane, we are a family friendly club that offers a judgement free and friendly environment for anyone who wants to learn the art of Taekwondo.
Our classes are suitable for all ages. In fact, Taekwondo is one of the only sports that parents can do alongside their kids! So bring the whole family down!
Our Head Instructor
This big scary dude is our clubs Founder and Head Instructor, Bret Nicholls. He is an ITF 4th Degree Black Belt, International Instructor and Coach, a Kukkiwon Black Belt and all around a pretty cool guy.
Resume aside, Bret always ensures that everyone is welcomed and loves sharing his knowledge of the art.
Officially Recognised
Our club is officially recognised as part of the Worldwide Taekwondo Organisation under Grand Master Jamie Moore. What this means is all our students are registered under Worldwide Taekwondo and no matter where they go in the world (maybe New Zealand or even Argentina) their rank and position will be recognised at any Worldwide Taekwondo club.
What Else?
We think our little club is pretty awesome and we like to show it off, sometimes even on world stages. Our club has competed in and won medals at numerous organisations World Championships (One of our Instructors even has a Guinness World Record which is pretty cool). Our club also regularly competes at many Local and National level tournaments as well. These tournaments are great opportunities to meet new people who share a common interest (it’s also a great place to get extra training secrets).

Why Taekwondo?
What's with all the different types of Taekwondo?
Sometimes it can feel like there is a million different Taekwondo styles each with their own unique set of rules, patterns and even uniforms sometimes it can be a bit confusing and even overwhelming.
Generally there are three main styles of Taekwondo schools that you will come across. These are ITF (International Taekwondo Federation), WT (World Taekwondo) – sometimes referred to as Kukkiwon or ‘Olympic Taekwondo’ and spin-off styles.
We primarily teach the ITF style of Taekwondo – founded in 1955 by General Choi Hong Hi who is often regarded as ‘The Founder of Taekwondo’. This ensures your rank is recognised worldwide and you are able to participate in local, state, national and international tournaments, seminars and events.
What sort of Martial Art should I choose?
We agree that it can be very confusing choosing the right style of Martial Arts for you and/or your family, the choices seem endless.
We believe all martial arts are fantastic opportunities for growth and personal development as well as fitness and self defence.
We often recommend you choose a martial art that all your friends are doing, it makes sense right as you’ll all be able to participate together.
We don’t profess to be better than any other school but what we do offer is a super friendly environment, skilled and qualified instructors and a place to make new life long friends… and teach you how to kick someone in the head 😂.
You shouldn’t feel pressured to join any school or club, we certainly won’t pressure you and are happy for you to take your time to trial then decide if our club is right for you. Of course we hope you choose us!
