Christchurch Olympic Taekwondo Inc
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Through the practice of taekwondo, we aim to improve student’s physical well being, fitness and strength, their self-confidence and discipline, and provide them with the skills needed to defend themselves and succeed in life. Our commitment is to bringing top quality instruction and training to our students of all ages, in an atmosphere that is fun and family-oriented.
WHY TRAIN WITH US
We have our own dojang that provides a safe place for you to train. We provide facilities and amenities to enable members to participate in and develop the martial art of Taekwondo. We have a wealth of very experienced black belts. Classes are taken by black belts/instructors with world recognized qualifications assisted by experienced senior students. As students learn they are tested regularly to assess their current level of ability.
OUR TRAINING HALL
In 1999 the club commenced training in a dedicated training hall, with an interior modeled on a traditional Korean Dojang. The training hall or “Dojang”, which translates as “the place of the way” has an important role in traditional martial arts training. More than just a physical location, this is a place where the martial artist can develop traditional values and strength of character free from the demands of the outside world.
OUR CLUB
Our club is family oriented; there is a good male/female representation in the club. As a further objective the club is committed to maintaining a low cost to members, in terms of membership, grading and monthly training fees. Our club has been operating for over 18 years. We teach the South Korean Martial Art of Taekwondo in accordance with the regulations and guidelines as set by the World Taekwondo Federation, Seoul, South Korea and the New Zealand Taekwondo Union, Wellington, New Zealand.OUR CLUB

The class is designed to have an easy learning curve, an aspect not possibly in the Saturday tournament class, with more advanced techniques necessary for sparring included, which would not otherwise be covered until a higher grade has been attained.
