Russell
Macarthur Taekwondo has been running in Brisbane for approximately
25 years. During that time the club has seen rapid expansion and is currently
one of the biggest in Queensland.
The growth of the club is mainly attributed to the clubs philosophy of putting
students first, giving them value for money and operating the club as a club,
not a business.
The club's philosophy is on the true values of Taekwondo and it is widely
recognised for the very high standard of etiquette within the club. The club
boasts very high Taekwondo standards, both physical and mental and we have
a very low turn over rate of black belts. Many students within the clubs are
considered long term. The club is also very community minded and supports
a number of charities.
Russell Macarthur originally started training at the Macgregor Club in the
late 70s originally under Mr Ken Mayfield and then later under Master Dale
Eagling until his unfortunate passing. This club continues to operate under
the Master Dale Eagling syllabus and has close ties with Dale Eagling Taekwondo.
His master has continued to be Mr Sung Soo Lee, 9th Dan Taekwondo and 9th
Dan Hapkido since the beginning.
The club's motto is
"Self Improvement through Self Discipline".
Throughout the club it is evident that instructors put students first without
question and never compromise their loyalty. The true values of Taekwondo
in terms of etiquette, compassion, loyalty, friendship and equality are considered
to be non-flexible.
