๐ Fatherโs Day 2026 ๐ This Fatherโs Day, First TaeKwonDo WA celebrates the dads who donโt just encourage their children from the sidelines โ they step onto the Dojang floor and train alongside them.
There is something incredibly powerful about a father and child learning TaeKwonDo together. Every class becomes an opportunity to demonstrate, through action, the importance of discipline, respect, perseverance and determination.
Children learn from the examples they see. When Dad turns up, trains hard, faces challenges and keeps going when things get difficult, he is teaching lessons that extend well beyond martial arts.
The journey isn't always easy. There are techniques that take time to master, physical challenges that test us and moments when progress can feel slow. Sharing those experiences creates a unique bond between father and child โ one built on encouragement, achievement and overcoming obstacles together.
And years from now, it may not be the individual kicks, punches or patterns they remember most. It will be the time spent together, the lessons learned and the memories created on the Dojang floor.
A father's greatest influence often comes not from what he says, but from what he does. Acta Non Verba โ Deeds, Not Words.
To all the fathers, dads, grandfathers and father figures in our First TaeKwonDo WA family โ thank you for leading by example, supporting your children and helping them become stronger, more confident and resilient individuals.
From everyone at First TaeKwonDo WA, we wish all the incredible dads a very Happy Fatherโs Day! โค๏ธ๐ฅ

๐ฅ SIDE KICK SATURDAY โ SCOTLAND STYLE! Our Duncraig Dojang students Melanie and her daughters, Matilda & Isabelle, recently took their Tae Kwon Do training on a family holiday to Scotland! โ๏ธ
From the stunning surrounds of Holyrood Palace and Calton Hill to the iconic Arthurโs Seat in Edinburgh, this family showed that you donโt need a Dojang to practise your Side Kicks! ๐๐ฅ
What better way to explore Scotland than with a few perfectly timed Side Kicks along the way! ๐
A fantastic example of taking your Tae Kwon Do wherever you go โ and making some great family memories at the same time!
Well done Melanie, Matilda & Isabelle! ๐๐ฅ

From Beginner to Belt to Black Belt โ A Journey of Dedication ๐ฅ
Every black belt begins with a single lesson.
Maciej first stepped onto the floor at our Duncraig Training Centre on 27 October 2018, beginning his Tae Kwon Do journey with his younger brother under the guidance of Senior Instructor Phil. From those early days as a white belt, he demonstrated commitment, perseverance and a willingness to keep learning.
After 8 years of consistent training, hard work and determination, Maciej reached a major milestone when he was awarded his Black Belt by Master Instructor Vernon Low on 14 June 2026.
His journey is a reminder that success in Tae Kwon Do isn't about how quickly you progressโit's about turning up, putting in the effort, and never giving up.
Congratulations, Maciej, on this well-earned achievement. We look forward to seeing what you accomplish as you continue your martial arts journey.

๐ฅSide Kick Saturday๐Power, precision and determination.
Check out 1st Kup, Ruby from our Duncraig Dojang successfully breaking 2 boards with a powerful side kick during her Pre-Grading Check session held earlier this month ๐
Board breaking is one of the many challenging components students must demonstrate on their journey towards Black Belt, requiring not only strong technique, but also confidence, focus and commitment under pressure.
Ruby showed fantastic control, excellent kicking technique and the determination needed to take the next step in her TaeKwonDo journey. A great achievement and well deserved result!
Congratulations Ruby โ keep pushing forward towards your Black Belt Exam next month ๐ฅ๐ฅ

Happy Motherโs Day from First TKD WA! ๐ Today we celebrate the incredible mothers across all our WA branches who continue to inspire us both on and off the dojang floor. Our 2026 Motherโs Day Collage is a tribute to the women who not only encourage their children through their TaeKwonDo journey, but who also have the courage and commitment to train alongside them. ๐ฅ
There is something truly special about a mother who leads by example. โค๏ธ Through every class, every challenge, and every grading, these women show their children the value of perseverance, humility, discipline, and inner strength. ๐ช They prove that growth never has an age limit and that true leadership comes through action.
Between work, family commitments, and the endless responsibilities of everyday life, our TKD mums still make time to better themselves physically and mentally. ๐ That dedication deserves enormous respect. Their presence within our dojangs helps create the strong family culture that First TKD is proud of. ๐
To every mother in our First TKD family โ thank you for your support, your kindness, your resilience, and the example you set for the next generation. ๐ท We are proud to have you as part of our community and grateful for everything you do.
If this collage touches your heart, please like โค๏ธ, comment ๐ฌ, and share ๐ as we celebrate these amazing women today.
