Lyall Bay Taekwon-Do

About Lyall Bay Taekwon-Do

All are welcome at Lyall Bay Taekwon-Do, a vibrant sports club dedicated to the art of Taekwon-Do that opens its doors to families, children, teens, and adults alike. Founded in 2020 at the end of the initial Covid pandemic lockdowns, we stand as one of the newest Taekwon-Do clubs in New Zealand, blending rigorous training with a strong sense of community and enjoyment. Our approach ensures everyone feels at home, whether you're a beginner or experienced practitioner, as we maintain a balance across all aspects of Taekwon-Do—including fitness, sparring, and self-defense—while prioritising fun and building connections with like-minded people.

We offer tailored programmes to suit different stages of life. Younger children benefit from a special syllabus designed to engage and develop their skills in a supportive way, while older children and teens receive focused attention to meet their evolving needs. Adults thrive in our senior classes, honing techniques with intensity and purpose. At the heart of it all is our instructor, Duane Meek, a 5th Dan black belt with over 20 years of training experience. Having shared the mat with his now-adult children, Duane understands the value of family involvement, always delivering 100% effort to make every session enjoyable and rewarding. This family focus creates a welcoming atmosphere where members push their limits together, fostering personal growth and lasting bonds through Taekwon-Do.
