Here’s a quick look back at some snapshots from earlier this year!

Check out the O Dwyers training some flexible high kicks!!

I hope you all had a great break and enjoyed the mostly good weather we had. Term 4 starts back tomorrow with all classes returning to normal. See you all soon!

We currently have a waitlist for both beginner kids and adult classes. If you've previously reached out about joining, thank you for your patience—I am working through the list and will be in touch as soon as possible.

A well-earned celebration for everyone who stepped up to the challenge and showcased their progress—this is just another step in your martial arts journey! Keep training, keep learning, and keep pushing forward.
Your dedication, discipline, and hard work have paid off, and we couldn’t be prouder of your achievements. Each belt earned represents not only skill but also perseverance, growth, and commitment to the art of Tang Soo Do.

Introducing the Kwan Martial Arts Academy Handbook!!

This booklet covers everything—from the history and traditions of Tang Soo Do to belt progression, grading requirements and glossary of terms!

I have been working on this handbook for a number of years and is a personal goal of mine to be able to now present this valuable resource possible for students.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the creation of this handbook!

This will be made available for students on the 7th June at the scheduled Grading.

Jump kicks in action! 💪🥋 Our students are pushing their limits to new heights!

Some action shots from last nights class! We covered basic kicking, forms, sparring and groundwork!

Congratulations to all our students on your grading success this week! 🎉 As mentioned during the Grading, its an honour for me to see the progression of a student from walking in to progressing from Belt to Belt.

Special recognition goes to:

Miss Caitlin Ryan and Mr Oisin Ryan their 2nd Dan promotion! Both are outstanding examples of technique and I'm proud to have them as students for almost 10 years!!
