Welcome to Eagling's Taekwondo

Our new web site should answer all questions you have about our club. We encourage you to try out Taekwondo as a benefit both physically and mentally.

2008- The Year Ahead
2007 ended off what has been our most successful year in many. As the Head Instructor I am extremely satisfied with the standard and feeling within the club. We worked hard last year in several areas. Our tournament team was focused on specific outcomes which were achieved beyond my expectations. The team rising to all the challenges put before them for the season. 2007 was the first year DETKD focused on developing a Technical tournament team. Under the careful watch of Daniel Gledhill we had an amount of success and will work in 2008 on improving and expanding our technical team.
Students working toward black belt grading's worked hard all year to fulfill the prerequisites . Their efforts culminated in grading's held in early December. Again the standard was high and a credit to those students dedication to achieve high results at this level.
The Dale Eagling Memorial Championships was also strongly attended and a club event that proves every year to be a club favourite.
In all 2007 will be a year I look back on with fond memories.
For 2008 it will be no different . We have a big year planned and hope to see even greater success in 2008.

2008- The Year Ahead
The Tournament Team traveled to the Nationals between the week of 19th to 23rd September. The club had representation in both technical and sparring components of the competition. The Nationals is always an exciting and daunting place to go. With roughly 1000 players in technical and sparring the event is always huge, busy and exciting with the best players in the country showing up to strut their stuff. 2007 was no different, the standard was high and the competition was fierce.
