Since our founding in 2012, Ilyo Taekwondo Narooma has been dedicated to helping countless students acquire foundational life and physical skills, develop new techniques, and confidently progress in their learning journey. Our club was founded by Zoe Cooper, who grew up practising Taekwondo and recognised a need for a club on the south coast. Zoe Cooper is the Master Head Instructor of Ilyo Narooma, continuing the legacy of her father, Paul Cooper, who established Ilyo Taekwondo in the Barossa Valley, South Australia in 1985. After his passing in 2016, Ilyo Barossa was handed down to Miss Duan Maguire, who now serves as the head instructor.

At Ilyo Taekwondo Narooma, we believe in the values of courtesy, integrity, indomitable spirit, perseverance, and self-control. We strive to create a supportive and inclusive community where students can grow physically, mentally, and emotionally while developing essential life skills. Come and join us at Ilyo Taekwondo Narooma and discover the world of Taekwondo as you Learn and Stay to Grow.
