2026 Taekwondo Program
We are pleased to again offer our Taekwondo Program in 2026.
Our vision is to provide an opportunity for all rural/regional Taekwondo athletes the chance to achieve excellence in the sport. No matter their style or affiliation, we are seeking to build an all inclusive program. Athletes with experience in at least two of these disciplines: Poomsae (Patterns), Kyorugi (Olympic Sparring), ITF Sparring and Weapons (Kama/Bo-staff); with a Blue Belt or higher and aged between 10 – 21 years old will be led by coaches Remy McLeod who have an extensive background in the sport of Taekwondo.
