“We are the recipients of a charity grant from Russell Macarthur Taekwondo. It is great that we have created such a wonderful partnership with the club. We are now able to support many more families who have a member with a disability at no cost to the family thanks to their generosity and sense of community. Not only do members gain so much from being part of an impressive organisation but they give so much too. Thankyou Russell and all your members. ”

“No one wants to get to those grey twilight years of life and ask themselves why didn’t I try a little harder. Regret is a very powerful emotion to have to live with.

The Russell Macarthur Taekwondo Club motto is –
‘’ Self Improvement through Self Discipline’’
The practice of self discipline, to do the uncomfortable things you need to do, goes a long way to a life with few regrets.

The club also encourages such values as humility, determination and an enthusiasm to help others less fortunate.

Anyone considering joining this club will find a great culture of belonging, inspiration to do well and a way of life through self improvement that offers an extremely rewarding and satisfying life.”
— Michael Groom - Mt Everest Summiteer, Club Patron and Life Member Brisbane
“I remember my reluctant self being dragged along to my first Taekwondo class in 2006, at age 7. My parents encouraged me at the time to try it out. Little did I know that it would have such a profound impact on both my personal development as a young boy and general fitness. It steered me in the right track from a very young age. Put simply, Russell Macarthur Taekwondo helped shaped me into the young man I’ve become today- one of humbleness, understanding and fairness. The lessons learnt every Thursday and Sunday night repeating exercises up and down Runcorn hall will never be forgotten. Not only does Taekwondo teach self-defence techniques, but life long skills. I cannot stress that enough. Thank you, Russell.”

“Russell Macarthur Taekwondo is so much more than self-defence, the attention to classes, programs, students, respect, focus, motivation, discipline and organisation is excellent. It is ‘a club not a business’ and to feel part of a much bigger group where the support is amazing and then gives back to the community by supporting charities. With locations all throughout Brisbane where you can train every day if you like at no additional cost.”
