Institute of Modern Tae Kwon Do

Self defence, confidence, fitness.
Perfect for students of all ages.

We are a modern and welcoming Tae Kwon Do organisation, founded in 1996, with a
history dating back over 50 years and we have been empowering our students
across Queensland with skills that extend far beyond the training environment. Our
programs are built around self-defence, sparring, fitness, confidence and respect –
developing not just a physical ability, but a positive mindset that carries into everyday
life. Whether you’re a parent looking for a structured, values-driven activity for your
child, or an adult ready to invest in yourself, you’ll find a community here that
genuinely supports you every step of the way.

About Us

Modern Tae Kwon Do, Modern Training

Tae Kwon Do is a year round sport with no seasons or sign in days. The easiest way to get started is to speak to your local instructor and let them know of your interest in starting Tae Kwon Do. When you come along to your first class, wear comfortable clothes that you can move around freely in. Your first lesson is free and you are under no obligation to join.

If you decide that Tae Kwon Do is right for you or your family, your instructor will give you the rest of the basic information at the end of the lesson. Buying a uniform is not something you have to do straight away, but it will be required before your first grading. Any other equipment you will eventually require can be purchased when needed.

Both my son and daughter have been with the Banyo club for a few years now. They have and including myself loved every minute of their TKD journey. Their confidence has improved immensely and I cannot thank Tony and his team enough for their continued support and great teaching methods. Banyo club is the family club who all care about each other and also support each other through the gradings and tournaments. It’s hard to find a sport where you feel that your whole family is welcome.
Keep up the great work Banyo

My daughter has been a part of this club for a couple of years now. We have always found Tony and the instructors to be supportive and encouraging to the students – they really go above and beyond to be fully inclusive and to keep the parents in the loop. My daughters training has come along in leaps and bounds thanks to the discipline, structure, patience and training provided by the crew at the Institute of Modern Tae Kwon Do in Banyo – I can’t recommend them enough to parents or aspiring students.

Very welcoming, family oriented club. The Institute of Modern Tae Kwon Do in Brisbane was founded in October 1996 by Mr Peter Cameron, who established the organisation as a not‑for‑profit martial arts school. Peter remains a very active head and patriarch of the club. My two boys, now 12 & 16, started with the Banyo chapter years ago and continue to grow and benefit under the tutelage of Mr Tony Robertson, a very good man and mentor.
The founding philosophy was and remains deliberate and distinctive:
Instructors focus on student development, not commercial gain.
The school maintains traditional Tae Kwon Do values while remaining open to modern training methods.
Curriculum updates are encouraged where they enhance effectiveness without compromising core principles. While modern in application, the school deliberately retains traditional etiquette, ranking structures, and character development as central pillars of training.
Give your kids some additional tools in their tool box to help them cope with the ever evolving and challenging world they are experiencing. You have nothing to lose, yet they have the potential to gain so much. 👍

The first lesson I was greeted by amazing instructors who were patient and kind. As an adult I was concerned about starting but all students and instructors who are apart of this club are so welcoming and supportive. It is an amazing community to be a part of. This is the best place for all ages, all levels of fitness and all levels of coordination.
I cannot thank them enough.

My daughter has been a member of this club for over 5 years. Not only has she learnt the skills of tae kwon do, but she has also learnt how to protect herself with self defence, improved her confidence and focus and made many great friends along the way.

Institute of Modern Tae Kwon Do is great martial art training organization with many top skilled instructors. I have joined Redcliffe club 6 years ago, after watching my 2 sons going through the drills and training for few months.
Our 4th dan instructor Jason is very passionate about the tae kwon do and shares his skills and 30 years experience in professional and friendly manner. Apart from training twice a week we also meet members from other IMT clubs for inter-clubs tournaments and trainings during the year.
Family friendly, can only recommend to give it a go ! See you there 🙂
