Inspirit Taekwon-Do Academy was founded in 1998 as a Taekwon-Do club which welcomes people from all walks of life and inspires them to reach for their best potential.
The Academy follows traditions which meet world standards in techniques while keeping a family atmosphere of friendship, support and mutual respect. There are many benefits provided by Taekwon-Do and we have something to offer everyone:
- For those who thrive on competition, we compete at local, State, National and International levels.
- For those who simply want skills and fitness we teach all sizes, levels of competence and fitness aiming for a safe, non-contact, non-threatening, less macho approach!
The Academy was founded by Senior Master Linda Low. Linda has taught Taekwon-Do for more than 30 years. As an 8th Dan black belt, Linda is the highest ranking female instructor in the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF). In addition Linda is an accredited International Instructor and Examiner and an International Umpire and Chairperson of the ITF Women’s Committee.
Senior Master Linda sought to create an Academy based both on the ideals of ethical conduct set out by the late General Choi Hong Hi, the founder of Taekwon-Do and her own ideals of the peaceful warrior a person who strives for peace and harmony in life, while building inner strength, personal integrity and the highest level of physical proficiency.
In addition to our affiliation with the International Taekwon-Do Federation and the All Australia ITF we have formed affiliations with other prominent clubs, including the West Coast Taekwon-Do Academy and Chan Martial Arts, click here for further information.

Inspirit means to inspire, the name also signifies in the Spirit of the Peaceful Warrior the source of wisdom and power within every person. In ancient times the martial arts masters developed skills through years of training and self-discipline. The energy he or she developed could be used for self-defense and also for the total of the body and mind - the balance of the yin and the yang.
