Dynamic Taekwondo Poneke

Hey Dynamic supporters

We need your help in fundraising for our Korean Taekwondo trip.
This is an amazing opportunity not only for learning and experiencing Taekwondo in it's country of origin but to experience a whole different culture (and food).

If you can give us a few hours of your time helping at Sky Stadium and the All Blacks vs Argentina game?
All volunteers at this one will go in the draw to win a double pass to the wine night - see below.

Join us for a night of wine and cheeses? hosted by Michael Hutton, owner and importer of eWines, who has a breadth of knowledge he is happy to share, specialising in fine European wines.

If wine isn't your thing? How about beer? A guided tour of Garage Projects Wild Workshop with beer tastings and food to match.

Fancy slinging a few sausages around the BBQ on a Saturday Netball at Cardinal Mckeefry School?

Can you bake? We are looking to run a few more bake sales.

Some of the action from the weekend sparring training session

Big bag action.
Training on heavy bags is an important part of kick drill.
Just like using paddles and focus mitts heavy bags help with development power and helps with conditioning.

Our little Tigers all wrapped up for the year!

Proud club moment.
Presenting Stacey with her Kukkiwon certificate.
Stacey was one of the first students to join Dynamic Taekwondo when we first started.
Years of hard training resulted in our first black belt student who started with us from white belt grade.
The second photo is of all our strong wahine toa who Stacey has mentored and been mentored by.

This is why we do it.

Sparring action tonight.
Awesome enthusiasm shown by all.

Big day at the TUNZ national club championships.
Lots of fun.
Catching up with the Taekwondo Whanau and making up for all the lost time over covid.

Great results from lots of hard work! Very proud coaching team.

Challenging and rewarding.
