About Walsh Martial Arts Australia - (St Augustine's College) Brookvale

Walsh Martial Arts Australia is a Tae Kwon Do institution with deep roots, training students at St Augustine's College in Brookvale. Established in 1967, the organisation introduced Tae Kwon Do to Sydney and has since graduated more than 1,000 black belts and a dozen masters, giving it one of the longest and most respected lineages in Australian martial arts.

The school is built around a clear progression pathway, guiding students from white belt to black belt and, ultimately, to master. Training blends genuine self-defence skills with fitness, discipline and a strong sense of community, delivered through structured, supervised instruction suited to each student's stage.

Walsh Martial Arts deliberately keeps its doors open to a broad range of people, welcoming children, busy professionals and seniors alongside dedicated practitioners. Whether you are a complete beginner looking to build confidence or an experienced student chasing the next belt, the Brookvale venue offers a disciplined yet supportive environment grounded in decades of tradition.
