<small>WELCOME TO </small>YUN HAP TAEKWONDO

Yun Hap is community, supporting and developing our people.
We challenge and lead through taekwondo and its tenets.


Yun Hap is a supportive family-based club that inspires our participants to live the taekwondo tenets: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit.

We assist out students to achieve by facilitating advancement through the ranks of Taekwondo on a regular basis and through exposing them to a wide range of experiences in training, martial art participation and competition.

Our club was founded on 5th July 1995 and is a not-for-profit association (these are sometimes called for-purpose organisations).

We respectfully acknowledge and recognise Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands, winds and waters where we live, learn and work. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging for they hold the memories, the traditions and the cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the nation. We will walk together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and organisations in our journey to enrich lives and strengthen community connection through the power of Taekwondo.

Yun Hap Taekwondo Club is affiliated with World Taekwondo, through membership of Australian Taekwondo via Australian Taekwondo Queensland.

Through these memberships, the club and participants have insurances, like most other sports. Yun Hap instructors all have current Working with Children Blue Cards, coaching accreditations and current first aid qualifications.

Students are required to maintain membership of the club.

About Taekwondo

Our club respectfully acknowledges the Korean people for the traditions and tenets they have given us in Taekwondo.
We pay our respects to the Grandmasters for they hold the memories, the traditions and the culture of our marital art as we engage communities in a modern world with respect and discipline.

Taekwondo is a traditional martial art, originating in Korea, as well as a modern sport. It is recognized as one of the most systematic and scientifically analysed physical activities in the world. Training our body and mind in taekwondo's disciplined environment contributes to good lifestyle balance. As a modern sport it has also become global and gained international recognition, and stands among the official ‘games’ in the Olympics (for sparring), quickly developing in technology, including the use of electronic protective equipment for scoring, and developing in sport presentation through adjustments to rules as each Olympiad rolls through. It's an optional Commonwealth Games Sport and hasn't yet appeared on that stage.

As a modern sport Taekwondo is inclusive and there are adaptive competition rules for athletes with disabilities in both sparring and poomsae disciplines.

Taekwondo has been particularly noted as a sport that is instrumental in assisting all round development: physically, mentally and socially. While providing a sense of belonging within the friendly club environment. It nurtures coordination, quicker reflexes, self-esteem, concentration, ethics and self-control. As such, the benefits overflow into other areas of our life, school, work and play.
