Joong Do Kwan

Joong Do Kwan - 중도관 [中道館] - means 'the school of the middle way' and was established in Perth, Western Australia in early 2000. It is the point between predecessors of our art and modern Korean innovations from the mid 1950s and beyond. The name of our school is a nod towards 'Chung Do Kwan' the first of the original Korean kwans. It is 'Traditional Taekwondo' simply to distinguish it from the evolution that occurred in the mid 60s factioning Taekwondo into the ITF and WTF (now known as World Taekwondo). JDK is part of a lineage brought out of Korean by GM Jhoon Rhee and continued today by GM Keith Yates and his Nam Seo Kwan Tae Kwon Do practice. Together, we safeguard the Chang Hon Taekwondo Hyung.
