Taekwondo, which loosely translates to 'the way of the hand and foot', remains one of the most popular forms of martial arts globally. It focuses on kicking and striking techniques influenced by Subak, Taekkyeon, and Okinawan karate. While taekwondo is a fantastic exercise and fitness activity, it also emphasizes moral discipline and respect towards authority, making it an ideal after-school activity for children and a weapon-free self-defense option for anyone.

At HEENAN TAEKWONDO - PAKENHAM DOJANG, we strive to provide the best possible training and leadership to promote our students' physical and mental well-being. Our aim is to instill the core values of courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit that are the foundation of this ancient martial art. Whether you are a beginner or an Australian taekwondo champion, we welcome individuals of all ages and skill levels.

Led by our sabomnim, James Heenan, a 5th dan black belt with over 20 years of experience, we offer a variety of lessons suitable for those looking to get fit, train for competitions, or learn self-defense. Taekwondo is not just about flashy moves; it is a profound philosophy that can be applied to everyday life.
