Australian Taekwondo

Attending the Paris Olympics and watching our athletes compete at the highest echelon has been a privilege. Their dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to Taekwondo are commendable. The Combat Institute of Australia's unique and invaluable support has been crucial to our athletes' growth and development over the past four years. We deeply appreciate their ongoing support, particularly the efforts of National Coach Dr. Seokhun Lee and National Program Coach Ryan Carneli. Together, we will continue to achieve great things for Taekwondo. - 𝘖𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘧 𝘰𝘧, 𝘑𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘒𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘺 (𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵) 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘏𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘌𝘢𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 (𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘳).

In 2023, the Australian Sports Commission embarked on modernising its Sporting Schools program. The main change has been the introduction of a new online booking and administration management portal, OfficialsHQ.
