Russell Macarthur Taekwondo & Hapkido - Kuraby

Russell Macarthur Taekwondo & Hapkido brings traditional Korean martial arts to Kuraby on Brisbane's southside, as part of a long-established organisation that describes itself as "a club not a business." The focus is on fun, fitness, self-defence and personal development within a supportive, family-friendly community.

The school teaches both taekwondo, the Korean art of using bare hands and feet to repel an opponent, and hapkido, built on the principles of harmony, energy and the way. Training emphasises mind-and-body development alongside practical self-defence, with a strong community spirit that extends to charity and involvement beyond the dojang.

Classes are welcoming to all ages and abilities, with no appointment necessary and beginners accepted at every session. Sessions run for around 90 minutes, giving students time to build technique, conditioning and confidence at a steady pace. With its emphasis on value, inclusivity and genuine community, Russell Macarthur Taekwondo & Hapkido offers an approachable place in Kuraby for individuals and families to train together, get fit and learn authentic Korean martial arts in a friendly, encouraging environment.
