FIRST TAE KWON DO Western Australia

Where tradition, discipline, and self-defence come together.

First Tae Kwon Do (FTKD) is one of the largest and most respected traditional Tae Kwon Do organisations in Perth and regional Western Australia. We provide structured martial arts training that goes far beyond physical technique—helping our members develop confidence, discipline, and practical skills that can be applied in everyday life.

Our program emphasises real-world self-defence, personal growth, and holistic well-being. Every class is designed to build:

• Physical fitness and resilience through structured drills and techniques.

• Mental discipline and focus that carry over into study, work, and family life.

• Practical self-defence skills that prepare students to respond effectively if the need arises.

 

A Non-Competitive Martial Art

Unlike many modern martial arts schools, First Tae Kwon Do remains faithful to the original, non-competitive philosophy of the art. Our training is not about tournaments or trophies—it’s about developing strength of body and mind, situational awareness, and the confidence to stand strong in any environment.

​

Who Trains With Us?

Our members come from all walks of life—schoolchildren, university students, and professionals. Parents enrol their children for the focus and discipline Tae Kwon Do brings, while adults join for the fitness, stress relief, and the confidence that comes from being mentally and physically prepared.

​

Our Legacy

First Tae Kwon Do Australia was founded by Master Vernon Low, who established South Australia’s first Tae Kwon Do school in the late 1960s. His vision was to preserve the true art of Tae Kwon Do—authentic, disciplined, and effective for self-defence. From its beginnings in Adelaide, his teaching expanded to Western Australia, where First Tae Kwon Do has grown into a thriving community of instructors, students, and families who continue to uphold his vision today.
