The East Coast Taekwondo Academy was established on the Central Coast in 1988. We pride ourselves in providing a family orientated club where students can learn and benefit from both the traditional and sporting aspects of the art.

Taekwondo is the Korean martial art of self-defence, and when translated it means “the art of the foot and fist.” ECTA gives students the opportunity to learn all aspects of Taekwondo including dynamic kicks, self-defence, breaking techniques, joint locking, weaponry art and much more. Additional benefits of taekwondo include improved fitness, flexibility and strength, enhanced concentration, mental discipline, self-confidence and respect. Taekwondo is more than a physical exercise or sport – it enforces moral standards and encourages constant self-development.

In spirit, the ECTA and its Instructors strive to achieve the highest standards of professionalism and camaraderie amongst its members, both new and old. We look forward to meeting you in the near future.
