Taekwondo in Port Stephens

Taekwondo is one of the oldest and most respected martial arts in the world, with roots tracing back more than 2,000 years. At Him-Do Tae Kwon Do Academy in Port Stephens, we proudly teach both World Taekwondo (WT) and International Taekwondo Federation (ITF) styles.

WT is best known for its Olympic-style sparring, explosive kicks and competitive scoring system. In contrast, ITF focuses on traditional martial arts, with an emphasis on patterns, discipline, self-defence and full-contact sparring. Our classes are open to all skill levels and ages 4+, with Junior sessions for children aged 4–8 and Senior classes for those 8 and above.

Whether your goal is fitness, competition or confidence, our supportive environment helps students unlock their potential while learning practical skills that last a lifetime.

Taekwondo offers much more than physical fitness—it’s a pathway to personal growth, discipline and resilience. Students at Him-Do Tae Kwon Do Academy benefit from a well-rounded curriculum designed to support both physical and mental development. Each class combines structured instruction with personal progression, allowing students to advance at their own pace while working towards clearly defined goals. Our dual-style teaching approach means students experience the energy of Olympic sparring and the depth of traditional martial arts. Along the way, they gain:

• Strength, endurance and flexibility through engaging physical routines
• Discipline and focus by mastering complex techniques and gradings
• Effective self-defence skills grounded in practical application
• A sense of achievement as they grow in confidence and ability
• Respect and courtesy as core values reinforced in every class
