Lee's Taekwondo Australia (LTA) is a well-established sports club located in Canberra, Australia. Founded by Stuart Lee, a respected local figure, in the late '80s, LTA has been providing high-quality Taekwondo training to the community for decades. Stuart himself has an impressive background in martial arts, having trained since 1973 and competed for over 20 years. He has led Australian teams, served as a coach and selector, and even managed the Taekwondo section of the Australian Olympic Team in Athens 2004.
In 2016, LTA opened its permanent training venue, the Lee's Taekwondo Australia Family Martial Arts and Activities Centre, in Tuggeranong. The facility offers a safe and welcoming environment for individuals of all ages and abilities to engage in martial arts training. All instructors at LTA have extensive experience either as teachers or competitors in martial arts and continuously update their accreditations in First Aid, CPR, and Working with Vulnerable People.
One notable aspect of LTA is its commitment to international recognition and certification. All LTA Black Belts become internationally certified and recognised through the Kukkiwon headquarters in Korea, ensuring the highest standards of training are maintained.
LTA also offers a unique 'Student Leadership Programme' for members from the age of 10. This programme focuses on developing leadership qualities and capabilities, allowing students to progress from class assistants to lead instructors. At LTA, the emphasis is not only on physical training but also on fostering respectful leaders who aspire to succeed in all aspects of life.
As a member of various associations, LTA is affiliated with World Taekwondo (WT), World Taekwondo Oceania (WTO), and Australian Taekwondo (AT). These affiliations ensure that LTA is aligned with the international standards and regulations of the sport.
Located in the vibrant community of Tuggeranong, LTA is proud to be supported by Vikings, a not-for-profit entity that provides grants, infrastructure, and other support to local sporting and community-based clubs. Thanks to this support, LTA has been able to cater to the diverse social and recreational needs of the community by offering a range of sporting facilities and activities.
Whether you are seeking to train for self-defence, fitness, or competitive Taekwondo, LTA welcomes you to join their family-friendly environment. They offer engaging and unique martial arts classes for all ages and abilities, as well as specialised training for those interested in Poomsae (forms) and Kyorugi (sparring). With a team of experienced instructors and a commitment to excellence, LTA is dedicated to helping individuals reach their full potential in Taekwondo.
