Welcome...

Whether you call it Taekwondo, Tae Kwon do or Tae kwon-do, you will find it here in Brisbane (Australia) with Sun Bae Taekwondo & Hapkido. As Master Instructor, I welcome you to one of the most exciting and effective forms of self defence, of which I have been teaching since 1983 after having the rare and unique opportunity to learn directly from Korean Grandmasters in both the Arts of Taekwondo and Hapkido. No doubt, your interest in martial arts likely flows from the ongoing need for a fun style of health and fitness or the need for self-confidence or perhaps just purely the need for self defence. In any case, Sun Bae classes offer a unique style, combining the ancient Korean Arts of Taekwondo and Hapkido self defence together with the excitement of Olympic Style competition. Men, women and children from ages 5 to 55+ make up the broad range of Sun Bae students, attending centres throughout Brisbane in separate classes for children and adults. Within 3 months, at a pace of two lessons per week, you will have the ability to defend yourself with some simple kicks and strikes. Not only that, but your mental preparedness will be much improved. After 3 years and a lot of fun-filled experience, you will find yourself concentrating on completing your Taekwondo black belt. We even have some fun non-contact competitions for you to try out along the way, as well as the more advanced Olympic style for the serious competitor. Soon after, you will officially start grading in Hapkido and receive the chance to practice traditional weaponry including sword, cane, short stick, long pole, swinging sticks (nan-chaku), etc. Sun Bae teaches a practical fighting Art, but importantly it also develops a student’s humility, self-control, patience, courtesy, integrity and indomitable spirit. Sun Bae offers everyone the chance to better themselves in all aspects of life, both physically and mentally.

It is my hope that perhaps one day, you will successfully attain your black belt in both styles...
