Some action shots from the weekend! Stay tuned for more! 🥋

Huge congratulations to our Lu’s TKD team who competed at UTTC’s World Cup, racking up 5 medals.

Thank you .uttc for organizing such a great event. We met so many new friends and learned a lot!

Mr. van den Berg displayed a beautiful So-San against stiff competition in a category with over 15 people. He also helped coach our team throughout the 2 days.

Mr. Lu took gold in Men’s patterns and had 2 solid matches in sparring, but unfortunately had to make the tough call to bow out of the competition early due to injury. His first time training, let alone competing in over 2 years with of a torn meniscus. Might be a little early to call it a comeback, but we’re on our way!

Mr. Harding, the jack-of-all trades! He arrived early and was helping set up the mats, judged all day and took gold in his patterns division!

Marème earned her black belt just a week ago, had 4 days to learn her pattern and competed as a black belt for the first time on one of the biggest stages of the world! She took home silver in individual sparring and bronze in Team Canada Women’s 5-man team sparring!

Kyle, experienced a lot of firsts this tournament. He won silver in patterns and learned a lot in continuous and point sparring!

Special thanks to SGM Lu and GM Seely for their coaching and guidance.

Way to go team! 🇨🇦🥇🥈🥉

A beautiful evening spent outside to celebrate the end of the year!

Inside or outside the dojang, we are always learning. Master Ma teaching/reminding us of TKD protocol before feasting on all you can eat ribs! 😋 🍻🍗

Congratulations Haojun and Blake on their successful grading. One step further in your Taekwon-Do journey! 🎉👏

Part 2/2: This past weekend, our Lu’s Taekwon-Do family came together to celebrate a very special occasion—Senior Grandmaster Phap Lu’s birthday. 🎂🥋

It was an evening filled with laughter, stories, friendship, and appreciation for the man who has dedicated his life to teaching and mentoring others through Taekwon-Do.

Seeing students, instructors, families, and friends gathered together was a reminder that Lu’s Taekwon-Do is more than a martial arts school—it’s a community built on shared values, lifelong friendships, and a legacy that spans generations.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating Senior Grandmaster Lu and all that he has contributed to our school and the Taekwon-Do community.

Part 1/2: Happy Birthday, Senior Grandmaster Phap Lu! 🎉🥋

We celebrate not only your birthday, but the incredible legacy you have built over a lifetime of dedication to Taekwon-Do.

From your beginnings in Vietnam, to helping grow Taekwon-Do in Canada, to teaching and mentoring generations of students, your impact extends far beyond the dojang. Through your leadership, countless students have learned confidence, discipline, perseverance, and respect.

For over 40 years, Lu’s Taekwon-Do has been shaped by your vision, passion, and commitment to preserving the authentic teachings of General Choi Hong Hi. The community you have built continues to inspire students of all ages to strive for excellence both on and off the mats.

Thank you for the lives you have touched, the lessons you have shared, and the legacy you continue to pass on to future generations.

Happy Birthday, Grandmaster. Your influence lives on through every student who proudly carries forward the values you have taught us.

Congratulations to Sabum Jason Perrier (6th Dan) and Sabum Marissa Perrier (4th Dan) on a successful test !
