MTA Sent 36 Competitors and came back with 32 GOLD Medals. 20 for Poomsae and 12 for Sparring. We had 7 Athletes earn DOUBLE GOLD performances. We could not be more proud of our students and the hard work they put in every day in training. We had some first time competitors at this event as well and they did amazing!

Thank you to Masters Emily, Loreena & Johnny for Coaching!

Next Stop: Blackbelt World Championships in June 👊

Every year we host our Annual Mega Training Sleepover event at MTA. A chance for all our students to hang out with our Instructors and spend the night here. We do lots of taekwondo training, Board Breaking, Pizza Dinner, Hide & Go Seek in the Dark, Arts & Crafts and "Sleeping" We wake up bright and early and have breakfast and go on our way. Giving our parents the "night off"
This is our most anticipated event every year and it takes alot of help to pull off successfully. Our instructors can literally be doing anything else on their weekend but they choose to spend it with us and our students to make sure everyone has a good time. Our staff is truly the best in all of Taekwondo, we are so lucky. A true family here at MTA. Current, future and old instructors all coming to hang out and have a good time.

Special thanks goes out to Mrs. Julie, Ivy, Instructors Andy, Nevada, Edison, Wayne, Ellen, Anna, & Masters Emily & Johnny for helping!
Can't wait for next year!!!!!

This was a busy weekend for MTA!
Saturday we sent 5 of our HP Poomsae Athletes to the OTA Poomsae Camp #1. Sunday we sent 4 of our Blackbelt HP Students to the OTA Referee Seminar! We are grateful to the OTA for putting on these seminars for the benefit of Ontario Taekwondo Athletes. These are great pathways to build better students and leaders in the sport. We are proud to have over 30 certified OTA Referees from our club alone. Congrats to Stanford, Nia, Hannah & Megan!

Also thank you to the OTA Referees for doing a great job as well. Competitions are such an integral part of our students growth and without them, none of these events would be possible.

Saturday April 11th: First MTA Blackbelt Testing of 2026.
5 Hours Test. 37 New Blackbelts. Congrats to all our hard working students on achieving such a great milestone! Special shoutout to Instructors Nevada & Edison on earning your 3rd Dan's.
Thank you to our former Head Instructors Master Dasol & James for coming back and being our guest judges for the evening.
Our test is not easy. We mark everyone on all aspects of Taekwondo and it take a long time but that is the only way to ensure a high level of quality. Not everyone is always successful on the first attempt but it is all about how you bounce back that matters most.
A Markham Taekwondo Blackbelt represents 3 or more years of consistent dedicated training and overcoming many setbacks and challenges in the dojang. Not everyone makes it to this point which is why those who do are special. Great job everyone!
