About Us ...

The Sydney Academy of Taekwondo was formed by David Nowland and has been in operation since 1992. David is a 6th Dan black belt who has been training in Taekwondo for 25 years.

Our mission is to provide the safe teaching of techniques within an age appropriate structure, catering to the individual's ability. We aim to instill facts and skills in students so they can set set goals and achieve personal bests..

We are affiliated and registered with the National body `Taekwondo Australia inc`.

All students will be considered for membership. We require good intentions for the art and for students to show good character and display considerate enthusiastic & positive efforts in learning Taekwondo.

Classes are split up into 4 age appropriate groups of 5&6yrs, 7-9yrs & 10-14yrs juniors & 15 yrs & over- seniors.

Regular participation in a physical activity such as Taekwondo is associated with a range of physical and mental health benefits both in childhood and adulthood. Active children become healthy adults and we have a key role in contributing to this outcome.

Taekwondo at junior levels 7-14yrs requires physical involvement in organised games or activities within an accepted set of rules. Non-contact skills are encouraged for safety and confidence at the beginning stages.

Senior classes (15yrs and over ) are designed to give the individual a dynamic work out with emphasis given to stretching strengthening and stamina related exercises. A strong understanding of the basic concepts and movements is required before any student is involved in contact activities.
