22.01.2022 We are many but we are one as far the techniques and principles of Taekwon-Do are concerned. Great to see so many different organisations participating, helping out and making friendships. We hope we are able to host another Championships where all of us can come togather again.

22.01.2022 CHITF Australia has agreed to pay members Insurance from 29th. Sept. 2020 to 29th. Sept. 2021. due to the difficult year of 2020 where some members had to suspe...nd classes from March of 2020. Very likely that classes in Melbourne will not be able to operate as usual for this year. When we are allowed to gather in groups of 10 or more we will conduct training sessions in the park near my home as the weather is getting warmer now. See more

16.01.2022 Late 1960’s GM Robert Lai practising his power breaks to prepare for demonstrations. In the 1960’s when Gen. Choi as the ambassador of South Korea introduced Ta...ekwon-Do into Malaysia very little was known about it. Kung Fu and Silat the national martial arts was better known and as such had much better publicity in newspapers and media to promote their art. For Taekwon-Do we had to have demonstrations to show the public what Taekwon-Do was all about. We demonstrated in schools, shopping complexes and sports meet to ensure that we had good exposure. We had at least two demonstrations in a month. In the 1970’s onwards Taekwon Do was the No1 martial arts in Malaysia as it is now. Pic 1 GM Robert Lai elbow 9 terra cotta tiles.
