First Taekwondo Martial Arts Bedford WA

SIDE KICK SATURDAY 👊 Two of our Bedford students putting their technique on display with controlled side kicks right outside our Bedford Training Centre.

Our Bedford dojang has a long history, established at the Filipino Community Hall back in the late 1990s, and it continues to produce dedicated, high-quality students today.

The club is led by Instructor Mark, assisted by Instructor Paul, with Mark proudly carrying on the legacy of his instructor, Tim, after taking over the dojang 15 years ago.

Great to see the next generation training hard and representing Bedford with pride 💪

Senior Instructor Mark (3rd Dan) drilling his side kick at our recent First Tae Kwon Do Quarterly Training — and this is exactly what Black Belt standard looks like.

Notice the chamber. The alignment. The control through the hip. The extension with balance maintained and guard up. A true side kick isn’t just about flexibility — it’s about structure, timing, and total body commitment.

At this level, we’re not just “throwing” kicks. We’re refining edges. Sharpening technique. Eliminating weakness. Every repetition has purpose.

This is the example our 1st Kups get to witness firsthand — that even at Black Belt, you never stop improving the fundamentals.

Strong basics. Relentless refinement.

🌟 Father’s Day 2025 🌟 At First TaeKwonDo WA, we proudly honour the many fathers who step onto the training floor alongside their children.
TaeKwonDo is more than a martial art — it is a lifelong journey of discipline, respect, and perseverance. When fathers and children train together, the benefits reach far beyond fitness and technique. Fathers lead by example, showing their children the value of commitment, resilience, and personal growth. In a world where many young people look to outside influences as role models, the presence of a father to look up to — right beside them on the Dojang floor — is truly invaluable. Acta Non Verba!

Training side by side, fathers and children share in both triumphs and challenges. They sweat together, overcome difficulties together, and learn that progress comes through patience, effort, grit, and determination. These lessons forge not only stronger martial artists, but also stronger individuals equipped with the mental fortitude to face life’s demands.

Beyond the kicks and patterns, these shared experiences strengthen family bonds, build confidence, and create memories that will be cherished for years to come.

This Father’s Day, we pay tribute to all the fathers who guide, encourage, and inspire — both inside and outside the dojang. Your example is a lasting gift, proving that the greatest lessons are not spoken, but lived.

From all of us at First TaeKwonDo WA, we wish you a very Happy Father’s Day.
