About Nedlands Tae Kwon Do Martial Arts

Nedlands Tae Kwon Do Martial Arts is a branch of First Tae Kwon Do, Western Australia's traditional, non-competitive martial arts organisation. Operating from the John Leckie Pavilion in College Park, Nedlands, the school is dedicated to authentic Tae Kwon Do that prioritises self-defence and personal development over competition.

Classes cater to everyone from beginners to advanced students, with instruction focused on patterns, techniques, sparring, fitness and strength. The emphasis is firmly on practical self-defence and being prepared to protect yourself and others, taught within a structured traditional framework. Students describe a strong sense of belonging and a class environment that genuinely welcomes ladies, men and children alike.

The Nedlands branch is led by an experienced instructor whose teaching draws on deep knowledge of the art, and reviewers note that there is always something new to learn. For those in the western suburbs seeking to build fitness, flexibility, confidence and self-defence skills in a disciplined yet supportive setting, the school offers a clear pathway grounded in decades of First Tae Kwon Do tradition.
