Welcome
See what Tae Kwon-Do can offer to you and your family:
Welcome to the website of Rhee International Tae Kwon-Do Townsville.
Founded in Australia by World Master Chong Chul Rhee over 40 years ago, it is Australia’s First, Biggest and Best martial arts school, with branches Australia wide.
Like no other activity our safe and inspiring classes can help you and your family increase your concentration to handle school work/business decisions, improve your confidence to develop public speaking, and even develop a high self esteem allowing choices to be made based on educated decisions instead of peer pressure.
Every class also allows for continual leadership training which enables students to learn and think for themselves. This means they become a role model and have a positive influence over siblings, classmates and friends outside of our halls. Our unique self paced grading system also allows students to go through the ranks as fast or slow as they need to without any pressure enabling them to learn and be constantly challenged at a speed that suits them.

This means instead of competing and needing to come first or “to beat someone” to be recognized we put all of our time into teaching our students what it really means to be a “Winner”. After all, we consider all of our student’s World Champions, no trophies required!

Children
Believing in yourself starts early. That’s why thousands of parents throughout Australia have turned to RHEE Tae Kwon-Do to give their child the head start they need to prepare them for whatever life throws their way.
Children who are enrolled into the program develop higher levels of confidence and develop a Black Belt focus which enhances their grades and behaviors at school and home.
Classes are designed to be safe, fun and positive so children start gaining confidence at the early stages of their training, which is only enhanced more as they learn other daily skills like co-ordination and balance, as well as the benefits of flexibility and muscle tone, which all help to boosting their self esteem and confidence.
Children when they first start will be taught simple techniques so they can feel like a part of the group faster which helps them in the early stages to feel good about their accomplishments.



Teens
For many parents there are major concerns about the influences in their teenage child’s life. Who they hang around, who’s inspiring them and what do they get up to when they’re with their peers?
As parents we are concerned about our teenagers making good decisions when they are with their peers. We are concerned about their safety and we are concerned about them developing a healthy self-esteem. Ultimately, we want them to be happy – happy with their life, and happy about themselves. Sometimes, as parents, we are frustrated with our teenagers for not listening to us. We don’t want them to make bad choices now that will shape the rest of their life. This is why thousands of parents throughout Australia have enrolled their child into Rhee Tae Kwon-Do. Students not only learn how to physically defend themselves, they also learn how to conduct themselves.
Rhee Tae Kwon-Do helps teens and young adults find their own identity, We provide them with a motivating and inspirational atmosphere in which they learn to become leaders instead of followers. They are given the opportunity to think for themselves and develop more Courage, Confidence, Self Respect and Humility which in turn allows them to make educated decisions instead of just “doing what everyone else does”. All students learn the value and importance of education and get a taste of the satisfaction and happiness derived from helping others and succeeding in life.
It also offers the youth of this age the chance to meet other like minded people that they otherwise wouldn’t meet. This not only helps their social skills it also introduces them to other young people who are outside of their normal peer group that may have a more positive influence on them.
Teens and young adults will learn in a self paced manner as we know everyone is different, in saying this students can learn as fast or as slow as they want so they can get the best out of them selves.
We have had great success in producing some quality young leaders who have not only learned to overcome their own limitations but are now instrumental in assisting others achieve the same!


Adults
Many adults go to great lengths to provide for their families but forget all about themselves. In fact I think a lot of adults tend to work harder at keeping their employer happier than they do themselves!
While I understand it’s important to pay the bills and put food on the table I don’t think anyone has ever lain on their deathbed and said “I wish I had of worked longer hours!” Don’t you deserve a couple hours to yourself each week?
A wise person once said “If you want something you’ve never had you have to do something you’ve never done!”
Have you ever started an exercise program and haven’t followed through with it? The Difference with Rhee Tae Kwon-Do is that you are gaining so many other benefits while you exercise. Furthermore, the mental aspects of Rhee Tae Kwon-Do will enable you to develop a far more serene and peaceful attitude to life in general. So say Goodbye to Boring and Mundane exercises and say hello to an exciting, and popular new you.
Right from your very first class, you will experience feelings of confidence, as you are met and taught by a Friendly and Professional Instructor. On your first lesson you will be personally taught very simple, easy to understand techniques in an encouraging and uplifting atmosphere. No experience is necessary and people are encouraged to train at their own rate.
Adults will receive benefits like reduced stress, enhance their health and raise their fitness levels while at the same time learn valuable self defence skills in a friendly and uplifting environment.
This is an opportunity to learn an Authentic Martial Art, that is easy to learn, up to date, proven through history and taught under the direct guidance of a World Tae Kwon-Do Master (WORLD MASTER CHONG CHUL RHEE, The Father and Founder of Tae Kwon-Do in Australia).
The Dynamic and extremely effective Self Defence techniques are taught in a Controlled environment. Students learn in a Fun and uplifting atmosphere.
One of the great advantages of Rhee Tae Kwon-Do as a martial art is that it is not only a superior art of self defense, but it will also enhance every aspect of the individual’s mental and physical well-being.


Families
They say: “A Family who Trains Together, Stay’s Together”
The whole family can benefit from learning together even at different ages and abilities. The majority of our classes are what we call family classes for all ages 5 and up. We find this can be much more convenient for families wishing to learn alongside each other as opposed to having to organize their schedule around children only and adult only classes.
When a family trains together it helps create a like minded goal which helps the bond of the family become stronger, while it is obvious that both the parents and the children/teens may have their own goals that they work towards and achieve, it is the support of each other in reaching these goals that helps create a stronger bond.
While we cover a lot of different things, each parent and child/teen will enjoy different parts of their training, from dynamic action too simple yet enjoyable techniques, but at the same time both will be learning a multitude of other things like:
- Effective and simple self defence
- Fitness
- Flexibility
- Co-ordination
- Balance
- Confidence
- Concentration
- and much more…
