When the first Warkworth Taekwon-Do club Jungshin Warkworth opened in 2010 it grew for many years a to club which had a good mix of ages and grades training in it. There was a core group of people who entered multiple tournaments and they did very well, a number of them winning Regional and National titles.
In 2016 numbers began to drop when the then current instructors moved out of the area and were commuting back for the sessions. In 2017 the club was closed due to having no instructor to run it.
In 2018 Mr Davey re opened the club and started a dedicated kids classes, as well as a junior grades/ families session and a separate seniors session will start once number increase.
Jungshin Warkworth has a friendly atmosphere and members generally develop friendships with each other. Mr Davey has a positive teaching style which creates great all-round results. All of our instructors take part in regular instructor update courses to up skill and develop their knowledge as well as maintaining current First Aid Certificates.
