Academy Of Choi Kwang Do

We Help Parents Raise Confident Leaders & Adults Reach Their True Potential!
Since 2010, Academy Of Choi Kwang Do has provided its members with a roadmap to success based on self-defence, confidence, and goal-setting skills.

Hi, I’m Master John VonHoff.

I know how difficult and confusing finding a martial arts school can be.

I remember when I was child, feeling uncertainty about beginning martial arts. I wondered if I had what it took to succeed and I wasn’t the most athletic or confident child - quite the opposite. Little did I know that beginning my martial arts journey would be one of the most profound experiences of my life!

When I opened my school in 2010, I made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Townsville City by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.

What is Choi Kwang Do

Choi Kwang Do is the style of martial arts practiced by Academy Of Choi Kwang Do students. Choi Kwang Do is considered to be the most effective martial arts system in the world. It uses natural, easy-to-learn, sequential movements that will enhance your health as you learn self-defence. It uses sequential movement to transfer natural energy from one body segment and allows muscle groups to work intricately together to produce the most effective and powerful movements.

The journey from White Belt to Black Belt is one of incremental learning and skill development, that students of any age and fitness level can embark on.
