23.01.2022 The end of 2020 is in sight! A function is planned for Saturday November 21st so put the date in your diary.....details to follow

22.01.2022 Sadly Australian Taekwondo Queensland announces the resignation of the Chairperson of the board, Mel Locke. Mel Locke was an Independent board member who took up the position in July 2017. Mel was the guiding light for ATQ and the driving force for good governance, restructuring of the constitution, open communication and the regaining of funding from the State Government. Mel joined the state body with absolutely no knowledge of taekwondo and has learnt much of our loved ...martial art. She has invested a lot of time into this organisation and leaves us in a very strong position. Mel leaves us with a heavy heart and will be investing more time into her personal life and personal business and assures us she is always willing to provide advice and guidance to the taekwondo community. On behalf of the board and members of ATQ we thank you for your service to the martial arts community. See more
