Hyeon Mu Taekwondo New Zealand

🏆 29 MEDALS AT THE 2026 KUKKIWON CUP! 🏆
​Our team absolutely smashed it over the weekend, and we couldn’t be prouder! All the hard work, sweat, and team support in class truly paid off, placing us 6th overall out of 35 clubs for Kyorugi! 🥋✨
​The results speak for themselves.

Medal Tally:
🥇 16 GOLD (9 Poomsae, 7 Kyorugi)
🥈 12 SILVER (7 Poomsae, 5 Kyorugi)
🥉 1 BRONZE (1 Poomsae)

​We could not have achieved this success without our entire community. A massive thank you to the families, supporters, and past club members who came out to cheer us on! 🙌

​

We're hoping everyone is giving their best in training in preparation for the Kukkiwon Cup 2026 in Christchurch in a couple of weeks!

Post tournament is the best time to reflect, refine, and raise your game!

We're working with I Love TKD again to bring you Taekwondo New Zealand National Team Coaches, Master Garry Carpenter and Master Anthony Chan, for a specialised introduction to competition Poomsae seminar designed to bridge the gap between "good" and "podium-ready."

Why Attend This Post-Tournament Seminar?
Analyse the Action: Breakdown common mistakes seen on the competition floor and how to eliminate them.

Refine Your Technique: Work on the precision and "wow factor" that catches the judges' eyes.

Mental Reset: Gain clarity on your training goals for the next season.

Take your competition experience from the previous day and build on it!

Massive congratulations to Master Anthony Chan in being appointed Head Coach and Team Manager for the New Zealand team heading to Poomsae World Championships in Hong Kong!

We wish the whole team well in their travels and the best of luck when competing.
Show the world what the Kiwis can do!!!

We're back for 2024, let's go!!!

A great event for anyone interested TKD community.

A wonderful tournament on Saturday - thanks to the team Oxford Taekwon-do.
The Taekwondo Union New Zealand - TUNZ South Island Championshiops saw a wonderful time had by all of Hyeon Mu.

Good success was had by the team, but more importantly, relationships were renewed, personal challenges faced, much was learnt, and we all remembered why we are in this sport.

Special thanks to Kennedys Freestyle Martial Arts - Seeing our teams train together and support each other was the best!!!
Team work really does make the dream work 😊😊😊
