What our Brisbane Students Say
It’s really difficult to put into words but taekwondo has taught me more about myself and what I’m capable of than anything I’ve done. I’ve met amazing people do incredible things. It’s fun and exciting and constantly challenging, but most of all it’s a journey I never wanted to stop.
Taekwondo is a great activity. It encompasses fitness & strength training- (inner and outer) and entrusts great discipline. I can do classes with my children. My daughters (6 & 10) learn about commitment and are rewarded for effort (through grading). I feel more relaxed knowing they will have the confidence to protect themselves. The environment is good and safe with very committed and enthusiastic people. Instructors and Master Instructor Dicks are inspirational, positive people who make taekwondo enjoyable.
Taekwondo is more than just martial art training. It’s a way of life – reflected in the tenets (the way we do things). Courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. Great concepts for old and young. Training with my boys means we learn more about each other. What needs improvement and support. I see improved confidence, strength and fitness, enabling them to hold their own. Not to mention, it’s a great way to meet new people.
I have been training since I was 10. Taekwondo has taught me about self-defence, but also it builds confidence, discipline and respect. There are good health benefits, too. I have gotten fitter and stronger. This was everything I was looking for in martial arts and so much more! – I would recommend Pacific International Taekwondo to anyone in Brisbane!
I really enjoy my martial arts training sessions. It helps relieve study stress and get fit in an enjoyable way. SI Shane is my instructor at Albany Creek. He’s taught me heaps. All the instructors are very helpful. I would recommend Pacific International Taekwondo to anyone. Have fun and make new friends while you get stronger, fitter and more flexible.
My name is Alanna and since training as a white belt I have increased my fitness, strength AND my self confidence. I have lost an incredible amount of weight and I have not felt this good in years. As an anxiety sufferer and a busy mum, training sessions are “me time” – great for my mental wellbeing. I always finish feeling invigorated and happy. Now a very proud green belt (next stop blue belt), my ultimate goal is to become an instructor. Tae Kwon Do is definitely a positive influence in my life.
Taekwondo helps keep me young, strong and fit. Pacific International Tkd is a great organisation. Every aspect of the club is professional and well organised. It’s really satisfying belonging to a club full of like-mind people. Having trained at several clubs, the Instructors here have all been very encouraging, helpful and supportive. It’s a lot of fun and a great form of exercise too. I’d recommend Pacific International Taekwondo to kids or adults. The training and discipline will better anyone’s life!
I initially enrolled my daughter to learn self-defence and get fit. Since joining, she has! More confidence, fitness, discipline, respect and the ability to protect herself. Pacific International Taekwondo is a family environment. We felt welcome from day one. I am really impressed with the instructors. They guide students to better themselves and give so much of their time – ensuring each student is ready on grading day. I highly recommend Taekwondo to anyone who wants to build, confidence, fitness or learn martial arts.
