Why Taekwondo?

Which One's Right for You?

So Many Styles

We get it — the world of Taekwondo can feel a little confusing, with so many styles, rules, and uniforms. In general, you'll find three main types of Taekwondo:

ITF

International Taekwondo Federation

The original style, founded in 1955 by General Choi Hong Hi, known as "The Founder of Taekwondo."

Our Style

World Taekwondo

Sometimes called Kukkiwon or Olympic Taekwondo. This is the style you see at the Olympic Games.

Other

Spin-off Styles

Various spin-off styles that have branched from the main federations over the years.

At Kickin'It Taekwondo, we primarily teach ITF, the style founded in 1955 by General Choi Hong Hi. This means your rank is recognised worldwide, and you'll have opportunities to join tournaments, seminars, and events at every level.

Our Philosophy

Choosing the Right Martial Art

Picking a martial art can feel overwhelming — there are so many options! Here's our take: all martial arts are amazing for self-development, fitness, and confidence. The most important thing is finding the one that feels right for you.

We recommend choosing a martial art you can do with your friends or family — it's way more fun when you're in it together.

At Kickin'It Taekwondo, we don't profess to be "better" than other clubs. What we do offer is:

✓ A fun, supportive, and pressure-free environment

✓ Skilled and passionate instructors

✓ A chance to make lifelong friends

✓ We'll teach you how to kick someone in the head too!

Give It a Go!

We encourage you to come try a class, see how you feel, and decide at your own pace. No pressure, no pushy sales pitch — just great training and a community that's happy to welcome you.
